Tomic there is a lot going on with this gentleman's post hence the suggestion to have him call us  as we sell most of the brands he was inquiring about. The Cary SLP does he mean the SLP 98? Don't think there was an 89.What kind of cables is he ru... 
Totem Hawk Tweeter problem
Take the tweeter out of the bad speaker and just touch the speaker cables directly to the tweeter with music playing very low volume and see if you hear anything. The other way is to take the bad tweeter out of one speaker and swap it with the goo... 
OPPO Sonica DAC to Lumin D2 Upgrade
Yes Oddiofyi shamless plug, we have Lumin and Cambridge and many other fine digital front ends, the Lumin gear is consistantly loved by people who have gotten them. Dave and TroyAudio Doctor NJ

Big speakers in small room at moderate volume levels
Yysantabarbera you are back to square one, with a similar viewpoint to what we recommended when we first talked on the telephone.Micromega M150 as it is compact, has room correction which will make a small difficult room sound great with a pair of... 
Thinking about upgrading, but wondering about diminishing returns
Honestly you have a ways to go before you should even think of upgrading your electronics. The Audioquest Cables you have are not up tothe rest of your system and your digital should be way better than it is.We were long time AQ dealers we have si...
