Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner
Thanks for asking. Here's what I did:Kept my Well Tempered Table and Arm and installed a Sound-Smith Paua. Purchased an Aesthetix Pallene and Aesthetix Atlas Signature (used). Audioquest Robin Hood cables and McKenzie interconnects. And finally...... 
How old are you?
Well, I saw The Velvet Underground live. Twice. And my first equipment was Dynaco. You tell me. 
The Future of Speakers?
Hey Jhills you talk about being stuck in the '80's. I still am using my original Well Tempered Table and Arm. It must be 35 years old.  
Speaker upgrade

Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner
Thanks especially to mr_m and gdnrbob for their first hand comments on power requirements for the Treo. I'm very please to hear that. And thanks to all who commented. 
Harbeth vs Vandersteen vs Sonner
