Requesting Your Expertise - Best Options - High Sensitivity Speakers For A Smaller Room
You might look into the Goldenear BRX. They are rated 90 db.  
Do you have a speaker that’s not a big name maker but punches above its weight? Why?
The dark horse for me is the NHT C3. I’m amazed how good these speakers sound at the price. Imaging is some of the best I’ve heard.   
Replace Auraliti
The Aurender model sound really food playing local files. Ive tried a couple of streams with local files and I found them wanting when it comes to sound. For example, I had a Hi Rose 130 and my Mac air sounded much better playing local files.  
Small compact 2-way speakers? Harbeth p3esr xd vs DALI Menuet SE ?
Don't know what your budget is for larger standmounts, but its hard to fault dynaudio speakers.  
Has anyone herd the Hegel h390
I also own a Hegal 390, and it is an amazing sounding amp.   
Aurender N10 still Relevant in 2025
I Owned the Hi Rose 130 and wanted to love it. Beautiful machine. However my Mac Laptop sounded better. I tried all the Eversolo models, up to the 8. Laptop still was better. Finally went to Arunder N200 and was happy. I eventually moved up to the... 
Small compact 2-way speakers? Harbeth p3esr xd vs DALI Menuet SE ?
I own a pair of the Dalit se. You really need to listen to both, however I know that can be difficult. I love my Dali, but then I own 12 pairs of bookshelf’ speakers. They have surprisingly good bass, very detailed, but I would not call them brigh...

I believe the Buchardt E50 punches way above its price point. The best parts in a crossover I have ever seen. Soundwise, one of the best bookshelf speakers I have heard.  
Upgrade to sound quality of Dynaudio Heritage speakers
Congrats on the Pass 250. I’ve had one for a couple of years. I have 5 other intergrated that I rotate, but the pass only gets used  in fall and winter. It heats up my small room to much any other time. I also had a pair of heritage speaker, I bel... 
Is it possible to really know what you're doing?
I remember when cd players were all the rage. I read an article about the Micromega stage two. I managed to get one and behold best sound player I’ve ever heard. It was so musical. Unfortunately it was not reliable. Thus began my frustration. It t... 
Concentration
 I listen to 3 to 5 hours of music every day. At times, I may browse the internet or read online forums. It's hard to stare at the walls for a long time. Sometimes I close my eyes, but that will bring on sleep after a while.  
Do you love the new AG Restrictions on communicating with all sellers al the time?
No more love….everything is money.  
Your advice appreciated: Bookshelf Speakers for my Conrad Johnson CAV45-S2
The  NHT C1 would work well and fit your budget. You can purchase these on Amazon with easy return if the don’t work for you.  
How competitive are you with your system?
There is always better if you seek it. At some point I had to say enough is enough. I’ve been on this journey since age 12 and now 71. I’m pretty much satisfied with what I have. I have 6 amps from Pass, Hegal, Accuphase, Macintosh, Electrocompani... 
Have some fun with bookshelf monitors!!
You will have a tough time bettering the Buchardt E50 at the price. PS Audio FR5 is also very good.
