    Allstate has informed me that they will not cover my system under contents. They will cover the building and room replacement. If wbf members would not mind sharing, what solution has worked for you? thanks!

    MQA Declares Bankruptcy

    i met Lee and developed a friendship simply from our mutual enjoyment of music and the hobby. he is a straight up guy, why his previous employer chose to ended the realionship in such a public, sour way seems unprofessional and unnecessary. glad i am not in the corporate world anymore, it can be...

    Wilson Audio Chronosonic XVX First Impressions

    The XVX need room to breath and do deserve top shelf everything. I auditioned them in 2 locations (2 different states in US). The first audition was poor do to the room and a very poor cobbled together choice of electronics. The second audition was spectacular with a great room and very good...

    New Audigon Service Fee

    thanks Ron, but i dont think my history can be dumped from AG? if it were me I would not believe someone telling me to check out history from another website so in a way I feel tied to a AG regardless

    New Audigon Service Fee

    The uniqueness of audiogon is that each party is rated and has history, including comments and what was bought and sold. I have had 100% satisfactory purchases and selling due to the fact that I can look at someone’s history and feel very comfortable in dealing with them. There is no other...

    Dedicated audio room build thread aka The Big Dig

    Hi, https://tidal.com/track/34097903 this track starts with a very low note from the largest organ in Europe (from my understanding). It feels like a train going by through my armrests and in my chest. i asked Jim Smith what he thought of the very low bass impact. He likes subs even with very...

    Resources for Building an Ideal Listening Room

    a harsh tone ceasar although i agree on some points. i will definitely say the mbl extremes need a very good room. i auditioned them in houston. the room there did not do them justice. oddly enough they had a defined sweet spot. the bass was just overpowering the room. they did provide...
