Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
I've owned many Proacs over the years and the first really non fatiguing speakers they have on the market to me are the newest ribbon tweeters, but for what the OP wants, they will be out of the price range probably.  He's need the larger ones if ... 
Looking for a Speaker Recommnedation
First off you can't ever say that one speaker blows the other out of the water.  Many for YOUR ears, but not for other folks.  I have tried and tried to like the Legacy's and for ME they are way too hot.  I do like their newest tweeter much better... 
Why So Many Raidho Speaker For Sale?
I have reread this thread since the last post.  I notice that many on here have or know folks who purchase items on reviews and not on listening. I don't get it. I never have and never will.  I can't imagine spending any money on audio without lis... 
Power conditioner
I've decided to sell my Synergistic Powercell 10 mkII as I am going with isolated circuits for the audio system.  Not sure what I may use at the box, but I want the extra box out of my room, lol.   
Choosing Sub-woofers. Please advise ASAP.
I have Vandersteen Treo's.  I believe I just sold them and I'll be getting the Quatro's.  Why?  The subs are built in and they have an 11 channel EQ.  I have yet to hear any sub that sounds as good IRT musicality.  They will shake the room.  That ... 
Any Vandersteen 7 Owners in SFO Bay Area ?
Awesome and congrats!  I'm sure you will love them.  Randy will help you dial them in I'm sure.  It's so worth it.  I agree with limniscate IRT other's flagships.  I've heard a lot of other top speakers recently and am not impressed.  Just so much...

I"m about to finally order my Quatro's (as soon as my Treo buyer comes up with the rest of the money and takes them to his home). I vacillate between wood or paint and I'm really starting to consider paint even though it's a substantial upgrade. I...

Funny as I heard the Bluesound 2 today also and feel that one of those and the Codex is a nice sound.  It really sounded great and looked good.

Wow, how cool.  Veer, please email me at ctsooner@alumni.ou.edu...I may need to look at that color for my Quatro's. I"m starting to lean towards doing a metallic auto paint.  So excited for you man!!!!

Bigkidz, go listen to the Quatro's.  They are actually much better than the original 5's.  Won't move quite as much air, but much more refined speaker overall. You won't be disappointed.  Or if you are the original owner, just upgrade to the 5CT's...

Andy, email me at ctsooner@alumni.ou.edu as I don't see a PM option for you.  Let's chat off line as I have reached out to a few to see what they recommend for a streamer to mate with Codex.Pete

The Aries Mini is fine for streaming.  Johnny may have some thing else for inexpensive and great sounding streaming.

V, I"m soo happy for you. Yes the mk 2 are so good and I'm glad you appreciated them.  I know some who have run them on the AX5 Twenty for a spell and they worked great.  Remember that from 100hz down, they are run off their special amp.  You AR i...

Also the size and height of the sound stage will be larger with the 2's.  Everything is just better. Incremental, but in this price range that's important and when you look at 10k in the big scheme of putting a large system like this together, yes...

I wouldn't run the Aurelic over a Codex.  Night and day sound wise. I have heard the Altair a bunch as two of the dealers I frequent run them. One has Ayre and we have done side by sides and not one person has chosen the Altair.  Go get a cheap st...
