    Toole video "exceptional" $1800 speaker ID

    Have owned IL60s for a long time and use them in the bedroom. Haven’t felt the need to replace them for over 15 years and running. They have been dinged from moves and such and still they run.

    REL no.25 Six-Pack ($45,000)

    The problem with having good deep subs that blend with the decor is that they will shake your decor loose. If they don’t they weren’t very good subs to begin with. So at least in my experience there is a performance hit that you take with these high “WAF” subs.

    Best bang for the buck subwoofer according to ASR

    A pair of the currently available SVS SV-12NSD ($399 each shipped) will be very hard to beat for performance, size and placement flexibility. I am currently using a pair and they measure to 20hz flat in room. If you have a super large room or listen at very high levels to action packed movies...

    Pick a pair from SVS, Hsu and Rythmik that fits your budget and size constraints. Don’t forget to properly integrate the subs with your mains and with your room. That’s it.

    In-Ceiling Speakers: Time to cut the wires?

    Shootout - Superb Measuring cheap DAC against hi-end DAC - measuring tool - the "ears"

    Tesla announced Cybertruck

    That will be refined some prior to release. Interesting to see if the specs hold up at the price quoted particularly for the 3 motor version. If so it will sell like hotcakes even if you hate the looks.
