Whats your favourite track to play to the non hi-fi visitor?
Eva Cassidy usually does the trick. 
Why is black so popular for components?
The color Black will hide a multitude of sins.What does that mean? It's cheaper.Owned my last black speaker or component.Left with Walnut and silver.AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!! 
Looking for more detail in a speaker
Bafra,I can surmise from your comments that you are an intelligent fellowwho is not to be swayed by some of the comments above.Floorstanders-yes. Standmounts-not for primary system REGARDLESSof room size. Now that may ignite a sh-t-storm of replie... 
Different Tubes for low listening levels?
Best way to enjoy lower level that I know of is via Electrostatics.I listen to 75db max. 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
Churchgent,I posted my recommended and not recommended brands foryour review. This advice was apparently too specific for thisgroup as it was removed. Good luck to you. I am done with thisforum. 
Constant noisy tubes maybe go solid state?
Bottom line is either you don't mind messing with tubes or you're donewith it. Personally I have x amount of stereo enjoyment time. Isold the Cary and moved to Pass. To each his own. Good luck! 
Warm romantic & detailed
Some very good and very bad suggestions above. I can't do the FocalBerries or Magico Diamonds either. Forget ATC. Salk also uses Berries.Spend the next year or so listening to the British and Italian and Spatial selections above which fit your bud...

Most Musical 6NS7 tube for a Preamp?
I ended up recently selling my XA 25 and replacing it with the INT25which is en route to me as I write. After much consideration I felt the same maker match was the most prudent way to go.Of course I lost an avenue to tube sound.I do also want a D... 
Pass Labs x250.8 vs tube amps
There seem to be some pretty darn good Class D amps hitting the market. High wpc &  Low cost. Are Sound labs bi-ampable?Or buy a couple Magtechs from Roger Sanders and solve all your power needs.  
A move from Harbeth to... Wilson?
Other thoughts:-Open Baffle from Spatial would be a different approach.-If timbre is your hot button, try Tannoy. The 10" to 15" Dualconcentrics. Nelson Pass voices his amps with a tweaked Tannoydual concentric. They are efficient. The Wilsons wil... 
Is business that good ?
Which state are you in? 
Upgrades that met/exceeded your expectations and those that felt short
Exceeded:-Room Treatments-Configuration changes to stereo position in room-Speaker upgrade to Tannoy FSMsFailed:- My hearing 
More power for moderate listening levels?
Cheapest solution is to bi-amp using 200+ wpc of class D for the bassspeaker. Use the Pass 25 on the upper only. Also borrow/buy someone's measuring equipment to see if and when the clipping occurs.Then report back.
