Just don't have your coin to do shoot-outs! Wish I did! I don't have the coin either that's why I'm urging you to do it! Besides, you should carry this philosophy into the new year:

No blind testing here! Studio 100's KEF LS50's Klipsch Reference RB 61 II 's All fed Mater MQA from Tidal streaming service. Life has been busy with many challenges, this, my playroom is my solace. No boaring night tonight!!!

Every speaker does something better then another! I believe there is NO speaker that can do it ALL!! If there is I have either never heard it (most likely) or it doesn't exist. The horns on these Klipsch are so nice, I guess Ive forgotten why I loved them so much to begin with!!

Disconnect your speaker wires from your speakers and turn up the volume and see what happens. Don't you just love speakers Nick.

I was looking to demo those KEF's myself Nick, however I have been disappointed by so many speakers when I put them up against my Klipsch. I own an older generation of the RB-61 II's the RB-5 II's and they sound amazing. Something to be said for a bookshelf speaker that tricks you into thinking it is a tower!

Tim The 61's are playing now. The KEFs have a different sound but better? Worse? Hummmmmmm? I haven't played these is some time in my cave! Ill have to A/B with the same songs to get a better feel for their differences. They both sound amazing. The KEFs require a little more juice then the AAA batteries required for the Klipsch! Ha,,,,,,,,,Ha,,,,,,,!!

At least to me, with rock music you cannot beat Klipsch, especially for the money. Throw on some Van Halen I or II or maybe Zeppelin I or II....then report back on how each sounds...turned up!

Nick, you may have already posted this, but what are you using for an MQA decoder?

Nick, you may have already posted this, but what are you using for an MQA decoder? Im just streaming from my Mac installed Tidal account. USB out to my DC-1 and then to preamp to amp. No decoder but the software in Tidal, with the proper settings. The Dc-1 is reading 96 khz and there is a difference in most MQA music.

I was just reading about some of the new hardware providers and was curious if you had tried any out.
