i want better sounding speakers

my post is definately showing my ocs(only child syndrome) it is the reason I used to shop at stores like tweeter I could afford to by the best- now that my horizons have broadend I no longer have that luxury I talked to a gentleman who has a set MCintosh xrt 22 that fit my budget -seems like alot of speaker -I am truly -lost thanx for all your help now excuse me so I can go pout like the petulant child I am

sorry vagueness is just a gift (i am using a yamaha dspa1) and generally listen to a mix of beth orton -ben folds-rodney crowell nothing to extreme but i do like it loud not to bass heavy my plan is to upgrade everything starting w/ speakers no built in powerd subs

i have sampled the sonus faber sweet hi not so much on the lo (at least on this pair)never had the pleasure of the von Scweikert- that will be my mission for today...any one have any input legacy audio

tobias I dont like you !! I hate it when i get schooled -you are completely corect i have auditioned some great speakers but they all had great amps and pre amps I will start at the source thank you for all your posts I am going to to go over some other threads- life was so much easier when I thought bose was the end all be all(just out of curiosity how long will it take to get stereo nirvana)

after careful consideration I have decided to let the michigan michigan st. game choose my path-if michigan wins new speakers it is, if st. wins I se a new (new to me)amp+pre amp in the not to distant future- for most this would be a bad way to do this but I am starting from 0-as for the speaker advice paradigm sounded to much like the mirages I am trying to replace-no tingling in my loins listening to B&W-tylers definately put a little spring in my step-the sonus fabers were like a bleach blond w/fake breasts initially quite excited then I felt like just not enough substance(IMHO)vonscweikert are next on my list not many dealers around-wish me luck fighting the oppresion (I realize this is supposed to be fun but it is starting to feel alot like work-the rest of the world should should have my problems)

certainly was not trying to insult any ones equipment!!! if you are a SF luvr -then my last post was just on the other side of obnoxious-I odviously need to keep my OCS in check (tomryan go blue and remember those poor trustees in ann arbor need your support so give generously)
