Do power amplifier designers match their creations with specific speakers or are they more generalized in their designs?

Often we choose power amplifiers far larger than our speakers need and, in some cases, can handle. Does that make sense and if so, why?

It can take a bit more money to collect and then play high-resolution audio. Is it worth the extra expense and equipment hassle?

Does high-performance audio need to be expensive and complex or can we get great sound with simple?

Bits are bits, right? Wrong and that’s why CD players and transports sound differently.

Setting up a high-performance audio system is all about synergy. How best to maximize it and decide what does and does not work?

Is it alright to spend buy used audio equipment or should you save your money for new?

Vinyl’s mastered differently than CD, but what about different digital formats?

Can you mix two-channel and home theater duties within the same room and maintain high performance?

Mixing and matching audio components for best synergy is quite an art and Paul helps make sense of it for us.
