I was a long term KEF owner. 107s for 26 years as well as others incl 205.3 and 205.2. I lites to current Ref 3 and 5 and Blades. All sounded great but not a huge improvement over the 205.2s. Fine speakers one and all. To my ear the Dali’s have a ...

Do you owm the Personas now?  They’re definitely a fine speaker and good looking too. For me, my room and electronics, they just seemed a on the harsh side in the upper end. I finally settled on DALI Epicon 8s. I find them very musical and have be... 
How old are you?

Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
I agree!  After a lifetime of virtually no hearing in my left ear, (Measels at age 2) I needed hearing assist in my right ear.  I got fitted for a right aid, and a cross aid for the left ear.  The cross sends sound to the right via radio frequency...

I responded to the dealer, but never heard back.  I like them, but find the high end a bit too bright, and they can't match the upper/mid bass of my KEF 205s.  So the search goes on! 
Another Music Direct Catalog observation
Great choices oreganpapa!  I'm a boomer, mostly listen to all of the jazz great vocalists from the era of your posted videos.  Also a big Joni Mitchell fan.  Admitedly, I don't listen to a lot of current artists, but I do own Ed Sheran vinyl.  I'v... 
Considering a new SACD Player
I couldn’t agree more.  I’ve owned a CD Player since 1983, Denon, Marantz, McIntosh, some changer, most single, and I still have many of them.  Some are universal players.  I enjoy listening to them all, but the Marantz SA-10 blows them all away!   
Considering a new SACD Player
Thank you!Mostly Kimber Hero, Kimber 12VS speaker cables, and Tributaries interconnects, trib speaker cable.  A number of systems in the house.  
Considering a new SACD Player
Hello all!  Today was the day, and the audition was short!  The Marantz SA 10 easily bested the Yamaha 2100.  The Yamaha is less expensive, and surely a fine SACD player, but I took the Marantz home!  Thanks to all who took the time time offer adv... 
Considering a new SACD Player
Thanks for you response.  I’m planning to listen to both the Yamaha, and the Marantz.  My dealer speaks highly of both!
