Often our memories of the past don’t live up to reality. Many people fell in love with high-end audio in the 1970s but how did that equipment really sound?

The luxury brand Devialet is a French company making boutique stereo equipment. Their $3,000 Bluetooth speaker pair has everyone talking and Paul explains how it works.

To build a state of the art home theater system would it make sense to add monoblock amplifiers for best sound quality?

There are hundreds of audio tweaks to improve sound quality. Are they worth applying to budget electronics and speakers? Paul gives perhaps a surprising answer.

The B&W “snail” speakers are said to be the flattest in the world. Paul wonders if that’s a good thing and explains why.

Speaker designers would love to place perfectly matched power amplifiers and active crossovers in their designs yet there’s a problem with that, one that has always held them back.

Turntables are rarely more than a rotating platter, tonearm, and cartridge. Why doesn’t someone build in the electronics necessary to amplify the vinyl signal?

There’s already enough controversy over power cable quality vs. sound quality and now this question has Paul explaining not only why power cables can make a difference but their actual construction and discovery.

Some models of loudspeakers feature multiple woofers where some are active while others are passive and don’t make a sound on their own. What are these and how do they work?

If you could design a listening or video room from scratch how would you calculate the perfect dimensions and what process would you use to design the room?
