Vandersteen 7 mark ll or big Kef blades
Proacman, no not true at all with the Blades needing a lot of space on the side and rear to sound good. Most issues in terms of side wall placement will be amelorated with bass traps if the room is loading the bass drivers howver we have used them... 
Decisions on standmounts: ATC, Dynaudio, ProAc, Sonus Faber
Kenjit the ATC loudspeakers are for home use. They make a consumer version of the studio monitors. Right on the website under Consumer.As per musicality the ATC sound fantastic they are not overly colored and they do show you what you are using wi... 
PSB Imagine T3
OP,Boy some people don't get it. The T3 is in no way close to the Syncrony series.  The older Stratus Gold did have a big sound but do not have the resolution, speed, sound stage, or bass response of the T3.There is a reason why the T3 have receiv... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
Ezzigy, actually it is not a tweeked Arcam. As per Integrated amplifiers if you hear a PA 2500R you would most likely prefer it to the Luxman. T+A is a much larger company with far greater engineering resources then Luxman, the Luxman products are... 
Best multi channel amp and processor good for 2 channel listening.
Maguiar yes the 2500R is $12k retail, our best advice would be to seek out the correct product first, rather than shopping based on what is available on the secondardy market.Very rare to find a used 2500 R most dealers don't sell their demos the ... 
PSB Imagine T3
Brentj a pair of T3 lists for $7,500.00 how would it be possible to trade in your speakers and having to pay more?Yes the T3 are far better loudspeakers than the Stratus Gold as the Stratus Golds are very old at this point.Paul Barton learned alot... 
NAD C368 and KEF LS50’s
Ditto, we sell both the LS 50 and the NAD C368 the sound quality is very good together. For a bit more money the Nad C 658 and a stereo Nuprime STA 9 is amazing sounding.  This combo is $2,200.00 vs the Nad C368 with Blue Sound module which is $1,... 
Vandersteen 2ce sig ii vs Devore 0/93
The Treo are a big step up from the 3 and the 2Ci.We heard the Dedilus at CAP and they were okay loudspeakers.The Devores are really impressive very musical and obviously efficient with stunning wood work.You may want to also check out Legacy loud...

Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC
Jab Audiogon is used by many people for some it is not price but gaining knowledge from others who have different exp.Sometimes new products will outperform older used ones even sometimes way more expensive ones.Based on this thread and the Op bei...

Martin, We haven’t been shoving anything down your throat. We mentioned the Lumin as it is an excellent product that many people are raving about and enjoying for both its sound quality and ease of use as well as its price point.Ask a dozen audiop...

Jacked From the OPI will try to see if I can audit the T2 Considering the T2 is only  a dac/streamer it certainly looks like the OP wants a unit with a built in streamer or it would be doubtful he would have said he would like to take the next ste...

Initm, the Benchmark does not sound like any of these dacs.Benchmark sound is much crisper and hyper detailed, the PS, the Lumin especially running DSD mode, and the Aqua are all in the liquid more musical camp.If you want a cheap dac that sounds ...

Jburidan, we also sell the Aqua, we have a Formula and a Lascala Mk II on display and we are not going to say they don't sound good.We would also ask you have you heard a Lumin T2 or an X1.The X1 is an extraordinary digital product one of the best... 
Affordable alternativ to the PS Audio DirectStream DAC
Yes Uberwaltz those are all valid points, in terms of value that is only determined by the listener. We would recommend that the OP listen to a T2 and decide for himself. We are willing to believe he will find the T2 to match the PS and perhaps ma...
