Art Audio with Tannoys
Thanks all. I have a call into Joe Fratus. 
Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K
I would also look at the Tannoy Dual Concentrics (with the pepper pot wave guide). I picked up my used Kensingtons in excellent condition for $4500 earlier this year. 
Shindo preamps
I presume that it would be attentive and helpful (as Jonathan has always been extremely reputable with me). It would be good to hear from him to confirm this. 
Best Phono Cable for SME Series V
I use the relatively inexpensive Furutech AG-12 which Fremer and Dorgay positively reviewed and like it very much. More natural than the VDHL. 
Shindo Monbrison balance issue?

Help need an integrated amp for Tannoy Stirling

Help building new system: devore, verity or Sonus?
Go to in living stereo and audition the nines and the finn. I believe the finn is better suited to your room. Steven should be able to guide you correctly. 
Tannoy Prestige Speakers
Chashas -I need to hear one or two more speakers, but at present it looks like Tannoy. I will need to hear them one more time as I only heard them for about 90 minutes. 
Tannoy Prestige Speakers
I just auditioned the Tannoy Kensington at In Living Stereo in Manhattan and I must say that were terrific. Very dynamic, emotionally involving and simply fun. They do not draw attention to themselves. Bass is strong, a wonderful midrange and good...
