Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
After the gold rush or Blue train (and other songs) from Trio. It doesn't get more beautiful than that. You know they are there but you also want to see them...

Someone got a cable that separates Dolly, Emmy and Linda clearly when they sing together? Clearly!

Is it true that cables can sense the difference between classical and rock signals? 
Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ?
Any opinion on the bigger PMC pro/home speakers? In a year or so the used price for a passive IB2i may come down to something within the budget of the OP.  
Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ?
Just to make clear. ATC 150 are my reference. Will have them forever. But the fact is that a lot of the music I listen to are not well enough recorded to play really loud on the ATC. Hurts my very sensitive right ear! Sometimes also you need anoth...

@ HelomechThanks for your input. Yes, my next speaker set need to provide me with a little more warmth when playing not so perfect recordings (like most rock and sometimes pop like Adele). I thought the Tannoys DC10A would bring me that, but they ...

@helomechHow would you describe "don't hold a candle"? Are Harbeth speakers muddy in the upper bass/midrange? My references are ATC and Tannoy large models which I would describe as quite the opposite of muddy. Interested to complete with a BBC de...

N80, I agree with your view of the quality of Soul Cages except for that the timpany drum (or what it is) is far away back in the soundstage and that the bass is actually perfect in balance. Not muddy or boomy at all :-).Interesting what different...

Hi, Harbeth has a passive studio version of the 40.2 that is quite less expensive. Not the great looks of course.And why not try to hear the JBL LSR 6332 passive studio monitors. They with a sub would also play you out of your room :-) Can be had ... 
Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ?
There's also a whole world of active studio monitors out there if you're not buying for the looks. A midfield monitor can play loud without breaking up. Take ATC, Neumann, Focal, JBL, PMC etc etc. I like them, but they are built to play flat so mi...

Ani DiFranco to that list! Maybe not the latest cd though. Thanks for Patty Griffin. Silver Bell for me unknown Daniel Lanois production.Been studing this Dynamic range website. Interesting to see that "finer" SACD, bluray etc pressings seldom mea... 
Harbeth 30.1 ? The Ultimate Speaker under $5K ?
Good fullsize speakers are often extremely overpriced. Buy used or as I suggested two good subs combined with monitors that doesn't play too much bass on their own (for integration purposes). Important they can play really loud without any stress,...

@shadorne ++1 on your recommendation. I would say very well composed, played, sung and produced americana. Nice warm organic sound. Live feeling. Even the harmonica! Curs of Lono have great harmonies and impressing sound landscape with lots of int...
