Hey Zeal, I am in the same boat. Been waiting a good long time before buying my next pair of speakers because I kind of savor the process. I have been contemplating speakers for over a year as well and have gone from GE to PSB to Revel and now also looking at the Spendor D7's as a swap out pair with my B&W 805's. If anyone has thoughts on the difference between the 805's and D7's would be interested in their thoughts. I have CJ ET3SE and Classic 60 gear with vinyl so interested in comments from anyone who has driven the D7's with tube gear. BTW your sarcasm is sharp and crisp but not too bright.
