Tom,  Thank you for your feedback on CS5's vs. CS7.2's.  I very much appreciate your thoughts.  FWIW, I ended up buying both pair:)  The 7.2's have severely damaged woofers though, so not sure yet what I will do with them if the woofers cannot be ...

Question for the Thiel owners and enthusiasts here:  If you could buy a pair of CS5's or CS7.2's for the same price in similar condition, which would you pick (and why!)?  
Any info out there on the Audio Alchemy OM90.1 monoblocks?
Yes, I also have their newer DDP-1 preamp which is very nice, especially for the price. I may eventually use the two together in an all AA setup. Currently, I am using the OM90's with an ARC Reference preamp.  These amps are from the mid-90’s just... 
The "most foolish" loudspeaker tweak/upgrade ... is
I think the problem is that peoples' mental self influence is often stronger than their audio memory or discrimination.  I feel it myself most times I try out a new piece of audio gear that I've just purchased with the intent to upgrade.  Actually...

You guys are somewhat restoring my faith in Audiogon!  Good to hear the silent majority (or maybe minority?) who have been beat down in the name of forum decorum whenever discussion of these "tweaks" come up.  Free or low cost "tweaks" is one thin... 
Tyler Acoustics D20 vs. D1 vs. D10
Hi, Just to follow up on this, I ended up purchasing a set of D10's with powered woofers from Ty. I am very happy with the purchase. They are big, but they do an excellent job of filling my large and far from optimal listening and viewing space wi... 
DUNLAVY SC-VI
Hi, I have not comment on your question. However, if you decide not to go with the SC-VI, would you be willing to share where they are available? I'd be interested in a pair at the right price.-Gary 
Neutral or warm? Which do you prefer?
This thread is classic. We can't even agree on the meaning of 'warm' or 'neutral', which are two of the most used audiophile descriptive terms. It's hard to communicate if everything is subjective...

Bump...Again, thanks everyone for the feedback on TA. I'm bumping this because I'd very much value further feedback from those who commented on the rest of my system.-Gary 
Tyler Acoustics
Hi, I ended up buying a set of D10s with powered woofers from Ty. The speakers are a revelation as compared to my DQ20s. Of course they are in entirely different classes; however, I'm still very impressed by the D10s. Huge sound stage,accurate,eas... 
PMC vs. Salk Sound Speakers. Which is better?
Seriously, you're judging the quality of the crossovers based on the number of components? What does a "generous amount of parts" even mean? 
Tyler Acoustics D20 vs. D1 vs. D10
Hi, Could you say more about this? They are selling the D1 and D20 for the same price. I need to give Ty a call to get his take on the D10 vs. the two smaller options, but I would definitely welcome any first hand feedback. Thanks.
