Smallish room speakers
Jimman2,  did you listen to any of Stephen’s JAS Audio speakers while you were there?  I have the Orior and love them.  If he still has the next model down, Orsa,  I would give them a listen as well as the Oscar.   
Preamp Opinion

Your experience and thoughts on Thiel speakers?

Very new to high end audio - Recomendations
These might be worth checking out for someone new to hifi gear and looking for some good sound with nice flexibility for inputs.  Local dealer near me sells them and I’ve listened to them many times while at his shop.  Impressive little package wi... 
Anyone else loving Audio Art Cables?
 Love my loom of Audio Art Cables.  They really work well as a complete system.  Been a customer of Rob’s for a long time and he truly is a great guy to work with and provides great products for every budget.  
Binding Post Loose tweeter connection.
Also check the post straps that run between posts to bridge positives and negatives for contact or fractures. Seen those be an issue as well. If the post is bent far enough you might not make contact when screwing the post nut down. This you can t...
