My understanding was that the noise when using the remote was because the it’s a high gain pre!  
Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget
Any speakers from the BBC family would fit nicely, I have the Graham Audio LS 5/9, can listen to them all day without fatigue, I am very sensitive to upper middle and treble, another brand is QLN, great speakers.

Magico speakers too clinical and fatiguing?
No, that is not the usual case, audio gear depends very much on the designer of your gear and your taste, some designers are just better than others. A lot of the high end gear, you pay mostly for the box, not what is inside, especially big power... 
Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120

Graham Audio LS 5/9, beautiful sounding speakers, I drive mine with tube pre and class A amp, never tired of the sound.  
Borresen X3 vs Harbeth 40.2 -- my impressions
I think a lot of you have really misunderstood bbc speakers. Derek Hughes has said on numerous occasions that it is all about the crossover, that is where you design the sound of the speakers, off course the cabinets are important but that was ta... 
Differences between Harbeth, Spendor, Graham, etc. ?
I have the Graham Audio LS 5/9 and adore them, beautiful reproduction of the human voice, strings sound sublime and jazz is just very special to listen too. I have never heard the Joseph Audio speakers so can’t comment on them, but I hear good thi...
