Not so much a reflection on Bose, as to the increase in buying products online.
First off much thanks to our host Quintessence Audio of Morton Grove IL, they were very nice and put out a great spread of food and drinks. Their rooms are much more acoustically treated the last time I was there four years ago which I appreciated.
I would like to tell my story by repeating...

I see RPG has a new to me product, any inputs would be appreciated. It looks to me like it is some kind Hemholtz Resonator type product.
The Modex Edges are dedicated, broadband, low frequency sound absorbers designed to balance the modal distribution of...

It's not too long, I like what he says about its imaging/soundstage abilities. Was not aware of a problem at the crossover area, but I had only a brief listening session with it. Wish it would have had a frequency response chart in the review, I like that...
While I liked the part where he talks about what sound does the sound engineer/recording artist want you the consumer to hear on a recording. Some parts of it did leave me kind of in a circle of going round and round.
I used to have a poster of her in my room, really loved her voice and her looks. Hope the movie will be as good as the trailer. I like it when in the trailer, Dolly Parton says Linda was such a perfectionist that she was pain the ass sometimes. Five back to back platinum albums is pretty good in...

"In total, she has released over 30 studio albums and 15 compilation or greatest hits albums. Ronstadt charted 38 Billboard Hot 100 singles, with 21 reaching the top 40, 10 in the top 10, three at number 2...
In the video Wendell Diller of Magnepan explains about the importance of power response in trying to reach a more realistic stereo experience.
I might try to make some of these dates to hear the 30.7s in a different room than I did in Chicago. Plus I like talking to Wendell Diller in person, to...
I like this YouTube video because 99% of it is just the camera in the room, with the speakers playing music. Also most of these systems are Uber expensive, with the ancillary equipment to go with it. So not something you can see at your average hi fi dealers showroom, minus the Wilsons. Not sure...
At the April 2019 AXPONA, Wendell Diller director of marketing at Magnepan (actually he does much more for the company). Wanted to shoot a video of an informal get together of members of the Planer Asylum Forum, to talk about audio in general with some mention of Magnepan in the conversation...
My favorite part was when Steve asks him about, the Audiophile cliche. "I want to hear what the band sounds like in the room" And then the recording studio guys response.
Essentially, recording is not about the search for some ultimate truth. But trying to reach an idealized version of what the...
Not trying to endorse these guys or promote them, just thought it was interesting. As I saw a youtube video review of them, but not sure how your supposed to buy them here in the US. Closest North America dealer is in Mexico. I would be curious to how they sound, against a similar priced...
Some strong claims are made about this new type of Class D technology.
Munich High End 2019 | Munich, Germany | 3 May, 2019 – NAD Electronics, the acclaimed high fidelity audio brand with more than 45 years of leadership in performance amplifier innovation, announced that it will be the first...
I really like these videos, as they are pretty close to being they're just wandering the show to see what's going on. Also in the videos your not bogged with a bunch of sales talk and small talk between press and manufacturer. There are plenty of other videos for that, so you can get more a...
