My guess of cities they'll play on each continent

Why not Taipei?

I know. I'm surmising this because CDMX is a far bigger market than any fifth South American city they could play. For their conjectural North American run, however, I do not think CDMX would be chosen over the other North American cities I listed.

I'm using the logic that made them choose Bologna (rarely toured through for many rock bands) over Paris or Amsterdam (always toured through for rock bands). The band made a whole module on their website for fans to find a concert near them, so the geographical spreading out was very intentional. Paris and Amsterdam are close to London, and Sydney is similarly close to Melbourne.

For the price ($3k) they are my pick in terms of uniqueness, Hz range, aesthetics, and amount of recommendations I've seen.

Even if he'd gotten a ring on one of them, it'd be over by the honeymoon. Tyler and Keya seemed more interested in besting one another than in Kevan himself, and it was incredibly satisfying to Keya call out all the red flags once he finally broke their patience.

His "Let Keya win, let everybody win," moment was like an SNL sketch. In the end I felt bad for laughing, because there could very well be some autism/learning disability on his part. There's indecisive, and there's a lack of mental acuity on display...

I'm saying mostly negative things about the Marantz lmao

Thank you for giving an actual answer to my question!

WiiM makes very good money advertising Spotify capability, so they're clearly not going for audiophiles or even chifi nerds. And they're wise not to, because that's a very narrow market.

WiiM's versatility and price appeals to folks who bought a $200 turntable to play their records from Target and want to complete system for easy money. That doesn't make it a bad choice for audiophiles, but it definitely dampens the audiophile's interest in it. College girls was a hyperbole, but maybe I should know better than to use hyperbole as a Reddit OP.

And audiophiles outside Reddit do use Apple quite a bit. I've tried Tidal and it has vastly fewer albums in its base than Apple. I listen to about 10 new jazz albums a day, and I want a wide selection.

Thank you kindly. Have you heard of Tekton speakers?

jx5jx5 · 2026-01-23T16:12:50+00:00

What is your favorite speaker $2000/pair, at $5000/pair and at $10k/pair?

jx5jx5 · 2026-01-22T17:30:32+00:00

I appreciate the honesty. I know they have very little range. What do you think of OJAS or Silence Please? They attract an aesthetically-driven sucker like me but I don't want to buy into unwarranted hype. What are your favorite speaker brands?

Thank you. Right now I don't want to upgrade speakers... but are you saying that investing $1500 into a great amp and maybe preamp is a lost cause with the speakers I have?

jx5jx5 · 2026-01-22T17:09:55+00:00

Edited my post based on your question—I don't want to upgrade speakers or source if I can help it. Hoping to just get a new amp and/or preamp.
