Reading Time: 10 minutes The number of excellent loudspeakers currently available at the $6,000 to $9,000 price point is pretty remarkable. As audiophiles, we have a pretty distorted view of what a lot of money is to spend on audio equipment but, at this level of spending, you should get something that puts a smile on your face every time you sit down to relax, de-stress, and get away from reality.

Reading Time: 9 minutes I’ve been an audiophile since the mid-1980s. Since that time, I’ve owned more loudspeakers than I can remember, and I’ve listened to several hundred beyond those that I ultimately purchased. I have owned countless passive speakers and a few powered ones.

Reading Time: 10 minutes Most young audiophiles enjoy a period of their lives where they are not responsible for anything but themselves and their hobbies. During this period of life, you can pour every extra penny you have (as well as the pennies you don’t have) and feed the beast that is your audiophile habit. Sure, your total disposable income may not be what it will be in 10 to 15 years, but you can spend it all as you desire.
