Not cheap by any means. I looked at one of their Bentley models and nearly messed myself. I like watches but $1,500 is about my max. I mostly wear Movados as I have a wrist the size of a girls and Movados don't look silly on me like other brands

Went to a suit party last night.
Took the plunge on on some bespoke suits and shirts.
It was a little overwhelming picking EVERYTHING from materials, patterns, liners, stitching, cut and details!

Can't wait for the finished products to arrive!

Just finished updating the crossovers on my AAD 2001 monitors.

Mundorf Evo aluminum+oil caps and resistors ftw! Sounds amazing even without break-in time. /drool

I did that years ago with my Fried transmission-line subs and monitors ....... replaced everything....... caps, resistors, air core inductors, and nice silver sonic wiring...... really made a difference. Prior to that updated the subs, mids, and tweets with Scan-Speak drivers

Oh hells yeah! Nice set up! You on Audiogon? Thought I've seen this system on there somewhere.

And yeah... I love doing this kind of stuff. I'd rather tweak things than spend an arm and a leg on something new that may not have good synergy in my system.

But my next big thing will be a pair of McIntosh monoblock amps and pre. I love that sound. And I'm thinking about building a separate cabinet for the AADs to go under them and will house 2 - 8" woofers. But that is down the road a bit.

Tell ya what... it was hard trying to keep the car mods on the back burner. But when I made the decision to do this mod and I gutted one of the speakers I was committed to it. Then the audio bug bit again.

Yes, I'm on Audiogon. Over the last few years though I've mostly just played and enjoyed it, concentrating more on my car. I have a good friend that has an entire McIntosh set up, loves those monobloc power amps. When I purchased the Panny Plasma at Christmas I had to redo my audio as I changed out the cabinet and my old amps were just too big. I now have WYRED 4 Sound monoblocs for my R&L channels, and a multi channel (monos inside one chassis) WYRED 4 Sound for the center and surrounds and zone 2. They are really nice sounding, based on the Bang and Olufsen ICE technology. I'm trying to sell my Odyssey Stratos monoblocs now. I used to eat, sleep, and breathe audio/video ....... I still love it, but tend to more just play the damn thing and enjoy it these days

This.

And I never heard any of the W4S. I need to get to an audio convention so I can hear all this stuff and make some informed decisions. In the grand scheme of things I'm still entirely new to the audio world (got into it in 2010). But McIntosh for sure. Just need to save some dimes and not fall prey to the car mod bug.
