Need help on speaker decisions
It appears you like a speaker capable of a high level of resolution with an extended treble. Consider a used Thiel CS 2.4 which also has usable bass below 40hz, no sub needed here. Another option is the Martin Logan Electromotion which would give ... 
TAD R-1's vs Yamaha Soavo NS-F901's ....
Youtube can give you a small dose of the speakers overall character. Buying a speaker based on a review IMO is just as irresponsible. The only way to be 99% sure is to have the speaker in your own listening room which is easier said then done! My ... 
What time do you wear?
Schubert-Your correct! A Grand Seiko Spring Drive rivals many very expensive Swiss made watches. 
Is it just me or do others really miss A/D/S?
The ADS-L1290/2 was always the speaker to replace my Magnepan-SMGa but being a young adult I was never in the financial position to upgrade. It wasn't until I heard the Mirage M5si that an affordable speaker was competitive with the ADS. 
In Santana we trust
Agreed-Swing of Delight is not only his best solo performance it also has the best sound quality(3M/32 track digital recorder). 
In Santana we trust
I agree that Caravanserai, Lotus and Abraxas are the Santana bands best recordings. Although not as musically intense several Santana recordings are severely overlooked...Marathon, Freedom, Spirits Dancing in the Flesh and Milagro. If your unfamil... 
Sell quality turntable to buy top CD player?
Ayre components are designed to sound best balanced? 
Sell quality turntable to buy top CD player?
No nasty response here! The time and effort vinyl demands is not for everyone. IMO the Audia Flight-CD One is not easily surpassed at any price. $2700 might not be enough for a late model version, but you would save in the long run avoiding any ne... 
Are any Command label recordings worth the hunt?
Thx-Casey33 and Opus88 for your replies! I'm not a classical music expert but I knew there was something special with the performance of the Pittsburgh Symphony(Brahms No.1) conducted by William Steinberg. Opus 88 i've just read many of your posts... 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Steve Tyrell at The Ark-Ann Arbor Mi 4-24-14. He exceeded my expectations with his stage presence and charisma. +1 for Mr.Tyrell and my wife! 
Focus Audio FP88SE vs VA Beethoven Concert Grand
I own the Focus Audio FS8 model although it has lower quality drivers and crossover then the FP88SE, I can't think of any other $3k(new) box floorstander I would rather own. The VA Mozart was on my short list but the lack of speed and overly relax... 
Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions?
Your MBL amps should give excellent bass control adding speed and tightnesss while still retaining the sonic signature of the 100R2. 
Spendor SP 100/R2 and Harbeth 40.1 - impressions?
I heard the Harbeth 40.1 with a Luxman 505u and was disappointed. The 505u was not up to the task of driving the 40.1. I've heard several OTHER Spendor speakers and the midrange tonality/texture(Quad like)impressed me. IMO Harbeth(in general) are ... 
Best cheap speaker cables............again
Ctsooner-Agreed! DIY guys are always complaining about cost and marketing practices of HEA companies.

The 6922 has been back ordered for quite a while?
