Anyone heard the KR Enterprise Antares????
Does KR have a US dirtributor? If your amps break, are you going to have to send them back to Prague for repair? 
Has anyone heard the Usher Audio Speakers
Fernel, interesting comments. Just goes to show how different people can have different opinions. I wouldnt trade my Ushers for a Sonus Faber Amati Homage and 5k! The Usher's are more beautiful (to my eye) and they sound MUCH better. To each his o... 
Has anyone heard the Usher Audio Speakers
I would first like to say that I have a pair of 8871's (usher's flagship) up for sale. My pair is in birch, and I am selling them only so I can get another pair in rosewood. I have had many speakers in house over the years and I like the Usher's t... 
What's the best mid-range driver available?
I'll try my best here. I am not a DIY guy and I have never measured a driver. With that said, the 2 most impressive speakers I have ever heard in the midrange both use the same driver. That driver is the Audax aerogel mid. Check it out. 
JMLab Mini Utopia or Meadowlark Blue Herons
I have heard almost the entire Meadowlark and JM Lab Utopia line. Here are my thoughts. In the Meadowlark line, I like the Kestrals (for the money), Blue Herons, and the Nightingales. The flavor of the Utopia line is more consistent. With that sai... 
Opinion on Orthospectrum Speaker Filters
Heard them in my buddies system. Loved 'em there. Reduced digital glare/brightness, improved soundstage and imaging. Not a subtle thing. 
The"new" look Capitole
The new version may be uglier than the old one and that is saying something. Since it looks like you load the CD on top of the player, will it still require a puck? I was told that it was going to be a front loader. 
Kora's Galaxy and Jupiter anybody heard 'em?
I have heard the Kora Galaxy and Cosmos many times. I have heard them in systems containing: Gershman GAP's, Dunlavy Cantata's, KORA preamp and DAC, Audio Note and Audiomeca transports, and either Jena Labs or Valhalla cables. The Galaxy is a supr...

Please help me tame the bass beast
I agree with Plate. In my mind, you have 3 options:1) Get a Tact room correction unit. It works exactly as advertised.2) Try positioning the speakers along the opposite wall they are on now (ie if on short wall now, put them along the long wall).3... 
Sony 9000es or Musical Fidelity A3 CDP.
Tbadder, when you talk about foreground and background, are you talking about soundstage depth? 
what is the best speaker cable?
Valhalla and Jena Labs. 
Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
Von Scweikert Db-100's! 
"New" Audio Physic Virgo
I heard them in the same location, and I agree completely. One hell of a speaker for the money!! Even better than the Avanti 3's IMHO. John is one cool cat to boot. Give him a ring. 
How are Von Schweikert speakers?
Also try to listen to the DB-100's if you can. Supposedly they are even better than the VR-7's.
