System assembled; only a final decision about speakers remains
Hilde45, I had great results on a previous setup just using a PS Audio Quintet.  I used a Pangea AC9 on the Quintet.  I used Pangea AC14se’s for my dac, cd player, and streamer whichI plugged into the Quintet.  I then used a Pangea AC9 for my Ampl... 
The Harbeth phenomenon
Harbeths sound great to me! Thats the only test / spec that I need; my ears.  At low to medium volumes , the sound is exquisite.  
Has anyone painted or refinished their dunlavy spekaers
I painted some Kef Qx5’s and will never paint a floorstanding speaker again.  It turned out awesome but was about 10 times the amount of work that I expected it would be.  I want to paint some stand mounts someday, but never again anything big! 
How Low Can You Go?

My Demo results: I feel like I'm at a frustrating block in my speaker journey
Ok, tons of good info and recommendations given, tons of bad info.  Good luck knowing who to believe.1.  Snag something like a Peachtree Nova 150 or comparable. Look at good 2 channel integrated amplifiers.  Something with a pre, amp, and dac all ... 
audiophiles who are just getting the itch to upgrade
@phil55,Good to hear that you’re happy with the Carbon 7 se!I have a pair of the Carrera BE’s on loan right now and don’t feel they are forward at all, actually somewhat laid back in regards to the soundstage.  Interesting that you had a different...

Can speakers be stored in a garage?
Why not just hook it up inside, in a less than ideal spot, and enjoy it?
