Harbeth 30.1 or legacy calibre
Csm, similar paths. I just got a set of passive Calibres and also moved up from Vapors(great speakers). I’m amazed by the Calibres and hope to someday step up to the XD. I bet the XDS are incredible. What are you powering the tweeters with? Can yo... 
Do You Care About AESTHETICS? What Are Your Gear/Listening Room Preferences?...
Absolutely agree. At almost any budget one can put together a great sounding system that also looks good. I like the aesthetics of my system but nothing was selected with looks as the top priority.

Planning on bi-amping my Calibres soon. Have a feeling that will be a big boost to an already amazing sound.

I am shocked that you would call them thin. Big, rich and full bodied but still detailed in my experience.

I need to get started cheaply and upgrade later. How is the basic Schitt Modi for a starter DAC? What is a cheaper but decent quality way to stream into it?

Thanks. Will an Android  Work with the better streaming services and a dac or does that change the equation?

I'm in the same boat as far as wanting to get started on a budget but wanting to get decent sound. So does the 2CI have a DAC and the 2I doesnt? 
Oppo 93 problem
No problem. I normally view the forums as a whole and look at all recent posts as opposed to specialized forums. Analog was the wrong choice for this subject.  
Oppo 93 problem
Good point. I'm using the analog outputs of the Oppo into my tube amp. Does that grant me a pass?I will try switching the IC'S and see what that does. Thanks!

Best speaker cables for under 500$ (Euros)
I just got a set of 4S11 from Ram and am very pleased. Great sounding plus fit and finish are outstanding. 
Bi-amping with integrated
Still figuring out how to do this. How would a Crown XLI 800 work for this connected to the variable output of the Rogue Cronus Magnum? Voltage gain is 29db on the Crown and its 300 watts at 4 ohm and 200 watts at 8 ohm.I have my servo sub connect... 
3 budget speaker cable choices
The Canare cables are sounding really good. It's funny but they sounded good the first night, brighter and a bit harsh the second night( even on the same cd) and fantastic last night on other recordings. Who knows how much of that is the cables, p... 
3 budget speaker cable choices
Means: does not matter. I think.Got them today. Very happy so far considering they are new. Finishing second cd, a couple albums next. 
Reasonable moving coil cartridge
Would the AT OC9/II be considered a step up in sound (even tho it is cheaper) from my Dynavector 10X5 homc?
