Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers
Thanks guys. Analogtroll, - I've always been intrigued with Montana speakers but as I said in my post I'm talking about a USED price under $3500. I don't see any way to get SPI's in that $range. 
Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers
Thanks Raks, I almost bought the Adagios before so they are a consideration. I did not mention that I need single wire speakers as I currently have AZ Satori single wire. If biwiring is not a prerequisite for great sound, a biwire speaker will wor... 
Looking for Almost Full Range Speakers
Thanks Tvad, for the suggestion. I already have 2 subs and I'll be sticking with them. I did however try the big Revel and the ACI Titan II LE. I have a 5 year old so monitors and stands are not in my lexicon. Among the music genres I mentioned, I...

Trgg, in my system the Lessloss cable is very good. It brings more seperation and focus to instruments and vocals. It provides greater imaging and stereo seperation as well. It strikes me as adding precision (accuracy) to the musical presentation ... 
Krell 400xi vs NAD M3 vs Music Fidelity A5 vs Naim
You won't know which integrated will provide the sound you want until you have it connected to your NHT's for a week or so. Beyond that, everyone's opinion is not relevant unless they have the same gear you have, with your cables, room and quality... 
Most important component??
I don't have any room treatments but my room is a relatively small carpeted family room crammed with furniture and stuff; the opposite of ideal. But Duke, that's an awesome allegory.

I'll be getting the Lessloss power cord possibly today; it will go on my Blue Circle BMPH integrated; may eventually try it on the PS Premier. Thinking of trying a Virtual Dynamics power cord for the PS Premier and still considering the Synergisti... 
Krell 400xi vs NAD M3 vs Music Fidelity A5 vs Naim
I have owned the Plinius 9200, NAD M3, McIntosh MA6900, LSA Signature, Dussun V8i and DK Design MKII. I have auditioned the Krell 400xi and now own the Blue Circle BMPH. The best I've heard has been the Blue Circle, Plinius, and LSA in that order....

Joeyboynj, I'd love to try the SR Tesla Precision AC. I'm just not willing to pull from savings to spend $1300-$1500 for any power cord. I sent you several emails about the SR Tesla 3.

I don’t have any problems with lack of crystalline clarity to the upper mids and highs at all with my PPP. Joeyboynj (System | Threads | Answers)Thanks for the reply. That's why I continue to try different power cables. I continue to remind myself...

Maybe I'm reading the OP's post incorrectly, but taking excitement out (lack of crystalline clarity to the upper mids and highs, as the OP wrote) seems to be the crux of the problem.Tvad (Threads | AnswersGrant, your're right. This is the main iss...

What did you think about the Musical Essence II?Electro77 (System | Threads | Answers)The build quality of the Musical Essence II was tops. Sonically the bass and mids were strong, detail was excellent, but the upper mids/highs were somewhat const...
