The best my 904's sounded were when I had them active/ bi-amped. I used a Crown K2 for the LF cabs and an Inspire tube amp (6550 output tubes) for the horn and my 4080 xillica.

Change of pace from all the high rent district stuff you lucky guys have been posting. A lowly Realistic receiver from back when they had good stuff made. (actually a MOSFET design). A snake oil salesman conned me into buying this. Dont regret it at all. It also heats the room up nicely on cold winter nights. @Woofers and TweetersFits in well in my manloft.
I remember when you could walk in to Radio Shack and buy these.

My close to 40 year old Micro Seiki DQX 1000 equipped with SME 3009 II Improved S2 & Micro Seiki MA 505 MK II
That might be the coolest player I have ever seen, very nice

Yep the CD player is slowly being replaced by the USB port. I still buy physical media to play at home. In the car I use Apple Car Play and stream audio that way or SiriusXM when on road trips.

Well after a ton of fiddling around with settings I finally got the Firestick to recognize my receiver as being capable of 24-bit/192kHz audio. I'm pretty impressed by the amount of hi-res audio available on Amazon Music, too. Everything sounds fantastic!
Can you elaborate on your findings? I was told by the Amazon support folks that the streaming quality can be dependent on your network speed at the time of streaming. I primarily listen to Spotify and love the ability to seamlessly use Spotifys "connect" feature to pretty much connect to any device in the home to stream to. I prefer Amazon HD's algorithms when I let it play music or use the shuffle feature seems better than Spotify. The problem I have is, I have had Spotify the longest so I have some very large playlist that I would have to recreate if I went exclusively with Amazon HD. If it wasn't for that and JRE podcast I would probably cancel it. I use ROON when streaming local content from the NAS.

How is Springdale? I just received an intriguing job offer based there.
I live in Bentonville just north of there. I can go look at these if anyone is interested. I saw those but thought the price was weird so I assumed a scam.
As far as the area goes it is beautiful here and if you enjoy mountain biking you will not find a better area for riding. The Waltons have spent close to 300 million in bike trails alone and the Walton foundation continues to do that. Crystal bridges is an amazing art museum and the downtown area still has that small town feel/vibe. With that comes a higher cost of living price tag, probably cheaper than what most deal with but for me moving from the southern part of the state here I was shocked at the difference. Anyway happy to help with these or general inquiries about the area just hit me up with a PM.-

Captain Obvious again did he make sure the jumpers on the rear binding post are secured good?

No those are at home, offshore I do the same thing with my sony wh-1000xm4 headphones.

COVID fatigue is real. I'm a Health, Safety and Environmental advisor on an offshore oil production facility. We currently have 68 active COVID cases across 3 offshore facilities. Last hitch on my facility we had 14 cases within 2 days of the first one being reported. Omni moves quick and our Dr is saying we will burn through it within the next month if it keeps spreading at the rate it is now. All of the 68 cases have mild flu like symptoms. All are also vaxed. These are not estimates these are facts. My company has changed it's testing requirements, we will test at the heliport before going offshore after that no more tests will be done unless someone has symptoms. No more testing no more COVID lol. If you see a health care worker buy their lunch or tell them thanks amazing people doing amazing work.
Thank goodness for music when I start getting depressed or anxious about it I just go spin some tunes and let the Chorus sing.

Looks similar to the @jwc mini punch LF cab. If so I bet they do sound good! need the juicy details.

I will continue down the active bookshelf (monitor) path. Really liking the simplicity of what active setups have to offer (Powered speakers).
I may try a DIY build or two this year. Bought a small CNC machine last year so going to focus primarily on audio projects this year with it.
Will be thinning the herd as I have several things that are sitting idle that I no longer need.-

Great phones and I miss the tactile keyboards. I can not type on these newer smart phones just ask anyone that I text message frequently lol. I still have one in my pile of old phones. The other phone I loved was the Motorola razr.

Same modifications many on this forum have done. I wonder if these are a forum members?

I'm currently trying out a couple different pairs of active speakers in hopes of simplification. However if I don't find what I'm looking for I may pursue the integrated route as well that has streaming capabilities like this one does or the bluesound powernode Simplification is what I'm after.
My experience was similar with my CF4's....they want power.

Couldn't agree more. Although I have not heard the F4 yet I really loved the F3 and of course the Scala is a no brainer. I regularly watch his vids on different audio and like his content. Anyone heard the audio lab 6000A play that won best amp?

I can't believe this amp is still here if I didn't already have a tube amp sitting idle this one would be gone. I have heard this amp fantastic and a great seller to boot.
GLWS!

If possible just remove the drivers and pack them separately then it wont matter how you transport them. Those woofs are somewhat hard to come by so I would remove them and pack them GOOD.

So now I see that Adorama and Amazon sell the R-610F for $300/pair. That's roughly what I was looking to spend for a pair of 30-40 year old vintage speakers (that
If 300pr is your budget the only thing I can recommend wont be from the heritage line. RP-160/600's are great modern bookshelf options. Older RB-5's are also good. If you can find a pair of RF5's for that coin I would highly recommend those. Now if you want to rock out (I'm a rock guy too) then the best for that IMO is the Epic line or Pro line.
