Wharfedale Denton vs Diamond 225
Guru,No I didn't. I found a pair of Platinum Audio Solos in the Local Craigslist and the owner was even willing to trade for my speakers. The reasoning is he had young children and his wife didn't like stand mounted speakers. I got the Solos with ...

Well, after a trip to Montreal and auditioning a pair of speaker I thought I'll like I realized I wasn't going to get much on trade in for my Classic. It just happen that the local Craigslist had a pair of Platinum Audio Solo for sale. I offered m... 
Looking for a monitor with great midrange
My current speakers are Legacy Classic, with Primaluna Prologue Premium power amp. For pre amp I'm using the Aric Audio Unlimited. Sources are an Onkyo CD-7030, a modified Sherwood S-3000 tuner and a modified Yamaha YP-211 turntable. Cables vary a... 
Wharfedale Denton vs Diamond 225
Thank you guys for your insightful responses. I have a better idea now as to the sound of both speakers. Right now i am downsizing do to a move. As soon as I sell my Legacy Classic I will be able to move to a pair of monitors.

Worth upgrading from Morrow MA4's?
I did go from the M3 to the M4 to the M5. I have to admit I noticed improvements all the time but i've decided to stop at the M5. The jump in price gets bigger once you get to the M5. In other words, the laws of diminishing returns kicks in. The M... 
Aesthetix vs ARC
Liminiscate, thanks for your response. I thought that was the case from reading individual reviews. I wanted to hear from someone that had actually compared the two. I will be looking for a 5SE as soon as I get back home next mth. I'm away for the... 
New network receiver
Yes, this is going to be TV and movies plus the usual streaming. There is a possibility that i'm going to have back surgery in the future and be home for several weeks recovering. I want to be able to connect the TV, Satellite plus my blue ray pla...
