Johnny is helping another Agon member- In Russia, of all places. Toronto is a hop, skip and a jump.B 
Equalizers- love them or hate them and why?
I tried them, but realized that crossovers affected my attempts to flatten a signal.  A system with DEQX seems to be a better way around this.B

Amps or Speakers which one to upgrade next
+1 RandyA pair of used Quatro's would definitely be in the price range and you'd get a sub, too. Otherwise, I would get a pair of 2wq subs for your 2 sigs.to fill out the bottom end.Bob 
Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo
Hmm, I supposed it depends upon what you were listening to beforehand.Vandie's aren't bright (as in, lots of treble or beaming uppers).Also being phase and time aligned, they give a more natural (in my opinion) sound. The closest I can find to the... 
Speaker Suggestions
A Vandy fanboy has to recommend the:Vandy Quatro's- They are a definite upgrade to the 2 sigs, and have the integrated sub that can be adjusted for the room. If you like the Vandy sound, you will love these.But if you want to look elsewhere, I can...

Vandersteen Treo CT vs Mag 3.7i speakers
Maggies with subs, especially Vandy subs sound incredible.If I had more room, they would be high up on my list.B 
Shahinian Obelisk vs VandersteenTreo
@ja_zz I haven’t listened to any open baffle speakers, yet. Seems like they should be on my ’to do’ list, along with MBL. I am currently into non-crossover designs, namely Zu. They are quite impressive for the money. Not up to Vandersteen, but pre...

Re amps:Atma-Sphere MA-1's with MP-3- Total knock out of the parkI will be setting up my Ayre MXR (non Twenties) and a recently upgraded pair of McCormack DNA-1's that Steve was challenged to give the Atma's a run for the money.Sound Anchors just ...
