two channel speaker/equipment consultant

You don't need a consultant just your own ears. Get out to hear as many speakers as you can and you will soon find out what you like or don't like.

It's because he's the OP if @mikeyb9115 replies to the thread you can click his name and send a PM.

@jond  You are correct.  Thank you!  Now the obvious question — why the HELL can you not PM from the original post but can when the OP posts later?  What is the possible logic there???   That’s just patently and monumentally STOOPID!!!!!  Way to go A’gon!  Geniuses. 🙄

Agree and appreciate everyone’s feedback above. Much appreciated.  Agree that the forum is rather restrictive with exchanging basic information that may go beyond a public conversation.  

@mikeyb9115 Have you checked Sound Environment? They sell some high end speakers.  I live in KC, but I haven't actually been in the KC store. I used to go to their Omaha store. 

I have a friend in KC that has Legacy Valors.  Another Agon forum member is in KC. He's taking delivery of two new pairs of speakers this week. 

There is a Facebook page for Kansas City Home Audio Enthusiasts.  Someone on there might have something that you could listen to.. Maybe put a post there. 

I have Von Schweikert Endeavor RE speakers.  I really like them, but you may be looking to spend more.  I run them with a pair of REL subs. 

There is only one guy that’s Mikey at 11 stereo, you can find his number on that site…he has live chat feeds on YouTube Wednesday and Sunday at 9 pm eastern or better yet call him..he doesn’t read emails…best to call or text for first contact
