Help me pick from my sub-$1200 shortlist
I have a pair of the LS50s and they excel if given proper quality amplification. In addition they absolutely should be placed on a quality stand that has some appropriate mass. The degree of improvement from placing them on stands was much more th...

Thiel CS2.4 to what?
I recently made the same change you are contemplating.  I auditioned many speakers through shows, dealer visits and visiting local club members Systems.  Ultimately I purchased Spendor D9s.  Some would claim it quite a change (not in many ways), b... 
Looking for a warm sweet speaker
Congratulations. I have about 200 hours on a new pair of Spendor D9s and am loving the presentation. These replaced a pair of Thiel CS2.4 that had amazing detail but never the enveloping midrange balance that the D9s display in abundance. Detail i...

Cable Burn In
What is just as funny is that an audiophile would be sure to not show the system to another audiophile until the cable is past the 175 hour mark so only you have to hear it sound like crap... We suffer alone and only celebrate success with others. ;) 
LOUNDSPEAKER FOR $10,000.00 PER PAIR
Spendor D9 should be on your list. 
Amp upgrade from Ayre V-5xe
