Do sometimes say more than you need to, but you also provide a lot of sensible and good advice. There are plenty of nuggets of gold within the piles of shit you spout and that is why hi stay subscribed to your channel. 😂😂😂

I have just managed to pick up a pair of preowned AGD gran vivace monoblocks for £9k! Totally ecstatic with the purchase, never thought I would be able to own a pair… If only I could find a P owned MPD8…

I think with the pricing discussion, all that can go out the window if relationships are developed. Buying anonymously on line ruins a lot of the ability to understand value. Is a product worth the price or not. It takes conversation and trust to determine that.

So what do you think of speaker companies that are direct marketed like Arendal? Do they represent a great value per dollar for the sound and build quality?

When you did the FF tour was hoping to see all the speakers side-by-side to get size comparison. My room is small but I want a tower, 9.2” wide ( to 11’ in back of room) 15’ L and 6’10” T. Also I saw this in a FF brochure “Cabinet design: Low-resonance natural slate cabinet (SN), polished and varnished (SL) if required and available in any RAL colour.” So my question, do these speakers come in colors?

To answer my question about what material TAD speaker boxes are made of: They are a mixture of MDF panels with birth wood bracing, a technology TAD calls "Silent-Structurally Inert Laminated Enclosure Technology"

Mikey you eluded to something that is going to change the audio industry in a big way, would that happen to be the technology that's in Mark Levinson's amps, the Mighty CAT chip and C Wave technology?

hello from romania again, ave you ever hear a troels gravesen design and what do you think about kits t hat you cand diy yourself=?

I signed off the livestream at the 75-min mark, as I thought Mikey made his presentation about value utterly clear at that point. Then I found that the trolls and idiots simply couldn’t get enough of triggering Mikey and needlessly prolonged the livestream.

Why not bring in the TAD R1 to challenge the big rig?

Sorry 6 hrs to LA to San Fran

Mikey, You lost me a bit here. Isn’t value in hi-fi ultimately about some form of the formula Price [divided by] Sound and that’s it? I understand the value of supporting family/entrepreneur-run, craft-centric businesses and not supporting China as special cases that perhaps should affect one’s buying behavior but what have these things or a company’s discounting strategy, operating costs, corporate structure, cost of goods, materials quality and uniqueness or any of that have to do with the value formula noted above? There is no connection that I can see. Now, I do agree with you that there are a lot of terrible reasons that buyers talk themselves into paying a lot more for a given level of sound than they have to. And that’s where what you’re doing is so helpful.

😂 thanks for separating me from the Portland Woke crowd

Mikey I'd rather have a $100K that I can spend on the products you believe in and align with my views and I would feel good about than $1 million on a typical show system bought by multimillionaire assholes.
