  1. Still one pair available, yep!
  2. doh! missed the pair designation. still more than I'd spend.
  3. All accurate points. And I still wouldn't pay $17k for the newest collab. I'm absolutely the target demographic for this sort of stuff, and sometimes I bite.
  4. Roon still stomps on all of the other solutions when it comes to native format, multi-room playback with phone/table remote control. It integrates the hi-res streaming partners wonderfully. Plexamp continues to improve, enough so that I've become less inclined to eat the cost of Roon. I already pay for Plex on the video side of things. I've slowly stopped caring about multi-room playback, at least as it relates to my local library. I still use Spotify a lot for music discovery and casual listening, with my local library growing as find keepers. Roon still doesn't integrate Spotify, and I pay for Spotify family so my wife and kids can do their own thing. Plexamp doesn't natively play DSD files, but it transcodes to PCM without issue. These days, that's becoming good enough for my ears. The phone/tablet remote control is fussy, but good enough for my shrinking needs.
  5. but don't you dare touch the crossovers.
  6. Sorry @rplace, been heads down for the past couple months with work and family. So I'm late to the convo, but your original post gave me firm "walk away" vibes. Paypal has been around for ages and isn't complicated to navigate. So anyone who has trouble doing so immediate gets put on my sus list. The test payment doubles down on that. Switching payment methods after the fact? That's firmly in my "already too much hassle and not worth it, no matter how earnest or possibly naive the buyer is" and I would cancel the deal. I only ever use Zelle with deeply trusted friends and family, or in person exchanges where we can validate the send/receive in real time and product is present.
  7. I went the expensive way and bought the JBL stands. love them. I do admire this DIY approach, however.
  8. i no mah rites.
  9. Turns out, it continues to be the most effective way to maintain the IRL relationships. Once you surpass 25 people or so it just becomes untenable. My memory is foggy, but I think we were in the 100-150 range during the last Pilgrimage era. Corporate funding, while helpful, also came with boundaries and conditions that ultimately made it feel inauthentic and empty compared to the smaller grassroots gatherings.
  10. 1 pair sold. 1 pair remaining.
  11. Probably, yep! I know someone using them as a super tweeter with jubilee and he's pleased with the sound. And I used them on LA Scala bass bins.
  12. Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuump
