New Mark Levinson 5805 Firmware Problems
You asked for options, Gryphon Diablo 300, Boulder 866, Pass, Luxman and the other usual suspects.  Sorry about your problem with your ML. 
Can you live with your current speaker until you die?
Yes my Intuitive Design Gammas.  Large monitors with granite cabinets and dedicated granite stands.   I have owned these for over 10 years.  I tried selling years ago but because of there weight I would not ship them.  They do sound fabulous in my... 
Harbeth Super HL5 plus Break-in
I have owned and enjoyed Harbeth's 5's.  There are numerous posts here that I think are just way off.  You either like the sound of Harbeths or you don't.   In my experience there was no getting use to the sound before I liked it. It either sounds...

The Deville is $9.5k and stands are optional I think $1.7k.  They are quite cool looking.  I am considering these speakers. 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Thanks for all the replies.  I had a strong feeling that most would recommend the 8".  I had my heart set on the 10" but room changes dictate looking at the smaller option.  Will also look at the 10" small monitor.  Btw flooring  is suspended with... 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Dave,Thanks for your opinion.  My guess is also the F8's would be a better match in that room. Any one else with experience in a small room? 
Cube Audio Nenuphar Single Driver Speaker (10 inch) TQWT Enclosure
Hi everyone,I had planned on purchasing the Cube Nenuphar 10 this fall for my 14 x 18 room but my system is now being relocated to a 11 × 12 room.  Is this room to small the the Nenuphar 10's?  Should I being looking at the Nenuphar 8's instead? 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?
Check out Wells Audio and Vinnie Rossi's new mono amps. 
Visited a new Audiogon friend today. Elliott Newcomb
It sounds like fun.  I am a hardcore vinyl guy with a great sounding refurbished Lenco table.  I live in Oregon and would love to find some audio friends that love vinyl and tube equipment and high efficient speakers.  I don't own any horn speaker... 
To those who have moved on from Tube Research Labs Dude and/or Samson
It sounds like you are very happy with TRL amp and preamp.  Why change if you are happy.  I have done that many times and simply ended  up spending alot of money but really not improving my enjoyment of my system.TRL is great sounding equipment. E... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
The cloth basically muffles the sound from the drivers.  There are a few speaker designers that claim their grills are designed to enhance the sound. That's pure BS.  It's putting a blanket over the speaker and then expecting it be sound better no... 
Review: Intuitive Design/Pitcher Sound Labs Summit PSL 624 Speaker
Can't believe I have owned these speakers for over 10 years.  I am still totally enjoying them.  These speakers have had such high praise from numerous owners over the years that I am embarrassed to admit that I had drank too much of the Dale Pitc... 
Upgrade
You have gotten alot of different opinions but this is where I would start.  First play with the placement of your speakers.  Sometimes if you find the perfect spot in your room the soundstage will open up and your speakers will deliver what you a... 
Are integrated amps technically better than separates?
A lot of interesting takes on the question.  I am in the camp that separates are superior in most cases.  It will also depend on your budget.  There are now some super priced integrated $20k - $40k+ that I am sure would satisfy most hard core audi... 
Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
My pair of Intuitive Design Gammas retailed for $12k when new.  They are about 10 years old and I doubt in that price range there's a better monitor.
