The cars you have loved, or are in love with. Tell us your car history and what each one taught you
My most influential car was a 2002 Mazda Miata that was setup for cup racing specs. Lots of time in the mountains and a little SCCA ST autocross events. I still miss that car as I've moved on to a MB SUV :( -

How Do You Brew Your Coffee
Really varies. Turkish coffee when I have time to watch since the Cezve pot is tapered at the top and it can boil over in a blink of the eye. I do still use a Mr. Coffee from time to time as well as my espresso maker. When I'm in a hurry and between meetings I have a nice Italian instant...- tomsch63

Low cost streaming solution
You should also look at the Wiim pro or pro plus depending on if you wan to use the DAC. The pro plus has a better DAC but even the mini would work. The interface is very good and supports pretty much all the streaming services.- tomsch63

Do you get out enough?
Hmm..... I am a gigging saxophone player but it's always through a PA with IEMs. I do practice everyday in my loft so maybe that counts as un-amplified :)- tomsch63

Why aren’t open baffle speakers more popular?
I have a pair of single driver OBs with a sub and they have booted my KEFs into storage for now. They are placed >5ft away from any wall so does help. Bottom line is they really have a different musical presentation compared to box speakers. Are they better? Maybe not especially since they tend...- tomsch63

Charles' Little 2-ch Hi-Fi System...
Likely not :) I'm a OB addict now. The way they energize the entire room is intoxicating. I likely missed this but what room treatments are you using?- tomsch63

Charles' Little 2-ch Hi-Fi System...
You did help since my listening room seems to really respond to OBs. My system is not a mature as yours, but all I can say is my KEF LS50 Metas + sub are now retired. Now on to room treatment as the next step as I don't think I'll go back to closed back speakers unless we sell this house and...- tomsch63

Charles' Little 2-ch Hi-Fi System...
Thanks for the OB treatment advice. I have them about 6ft from each wall with no treatment and the sounds is very open and pretty much floats around the room even when they are pointed directly to the primary seating position. I'll start a thread of my own on my OB adventure :)- tomsch63

Fun to watch your progression. I'm jumping into the deep end with OB speakers so what happens behind them in terms of room treatment is going to be completely new territory. I like what you have done with minimal and tasteful room treatment.- tomsch63
