Monitor audio platinum pl200 ii , revel f226be, or something else?
I owned a Monitor Audio Silver and heard a few Revel towers at a local dealer.  I sold the MA (sadly) they were just too clinical, thin bass, not too exciting - they would have been so much fun with a sub. But I can't imagine you would have any b... 
the big one: how do you choose speakers? By what features, data?
@dave_b yes, I know - I mean I can imagine. A very different category....  
Sonus Faber Grand Piano or Totem Forrest?
@soix good catch. Wow.

@kokakolia nice teaser. WHAT IS IT????????!!!!!! :) btw I only heard and tried Klipsch towers and they all sounded dead to me  
Sonus Faber Grand Piano or Totem Forrest?
The Grand Piano was released over 25 years ago. How old are the ones you are looking at? I saw a few Grand Pianos in the past and was never too impressed whereas I fell in love with every Totem I have heard. I would read the stereophile reviews ... 
Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future?
Also, it's like buying a car. You are not putting the thing through an X-ray before you to assess if it was properly taken care of, so you assess the condition based on a lot of little things. Preserving the box is one of those and as said before,... 
Why do almost all women today hate home audio?
The title of this post is so stupid, lame, embarrassing I wonder why anyone would comment on it.  And yet I just did too.

@audioguy85 yeah, you sound like you have the right amount of audio gear with a storage problem... Or :) When you read reviews, who do you trust? Almost every review is positive. I used to be able to read car reviews and tell which way is up, but... 
Your experience of moving to two subs
my 2 cents: you need money for 2 subs to try to 2 subs. My problem solved. (I have one sub, purely because I lucked out, I could afford zero)

I think one option could be a spinoff. I have no idea what IP and patents they have, but this is such a complex science, and partly art that an amp company has two great assets: the engineers and the process. Minneapolis is the birthplace of so ma...

@kennyc those are high end speakers, I'd love to see some system pics some day! Plus, the Vimbergs look way cooler than the other two.

$26,000 of diesel in his 170' boat for a Saturday cruise something doesn't add up. That's about two or three times more than it should be, or maybe my yacht is super efficient.  
Storage boxes. Can I discard high end shipping boxes, and still sell in the future?
I would add: original packaging is generally safe but easy to use new packaging that is just as safe. It just takes time and material, and likely ends up a bigger volume due to double boxing which will cost more. I boxed porcelain figures that you...

I am curious about horns, but I always thought I need space for it, not my 12'x12' room
