My actual name is Jonathan. I've lurked around AudioCircle for a while and used it to research the Spatial Audio speakers which seemed to be my endgame for speakers. The prices seemed a bit out of reach given my family's needs but I found an ad for someone in my state and yesterday purchased some fairly new X5s (about 6 months old). Got to meet another audio enthusiast and discuss music and equipment. Got to hear the speakers. They are still in boxes as I have to clear out some other stuff first: mainly my Magnepan .7s.
I really love this forum and it seems to be much more on topic with the love of music and the equipment which lets us enjoy it.
