Shopping for new speakers
I own the Joseph Audio Prisms and they are fantastic speakers. I prefer them to more expensive monitors I have owned in the past such as Harbeth 30.1s, and Peak Consult Princess monitors which are both excellent speakers, but the Prisms combinatio... 
Help, my system sounds lifeless!
 I have a pair of Joseph Audio Prisms that I think are fantastic speakers and work well with tubes or solid state. These monitors sound big, not the miniaturized sound of many monitors, and they are very musical, but they still check the all of th... 
Ascend Sierra 2's vs. Monitor Audio GX 50's or GX 100's
 Thank you 213runnin. I have owned a pair of the Monitor Gold GX 50's for around a month and I think they are excellent. I have not owned many ribbon speakers, but I have been always curious about the RAAL ribbon tweeters because of the praise the... 
Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5
I recently got a pair of  Rega RX1's and I am very impressed! They are my first Rega speakers and they are competitive with any speakers I have heard around their $1295. list price. If you get a chance give them a listen and I think you will be ve... 
Omega, Harbeth, JM Reynaud, ad Skylan
Omega speakers are fantastic and they don't get near the acclaim they should. They are definitely one of the best bargains in audio. Besides the top of the line Alnico drivers the new RS5 drivers are significantly better than his older, but still ...

Frank Sinatra and Jim Morrison. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps

Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
I purchased the Wavetouch Audio Grand Teton SEs a couple of months ago and they are the best monitors I have ever owned. Some of the previous monitors I have owned are Peak Consult Princess, Merlin TSM-MXEs, Audio Note AX-2 Signature, AAD Silver S...

I haven't had the TSMs for quite a while, although they are very fine monitors, but I wanted to try a SET amp. Currently I have a pair of Coincident Triumph UHS Revised which are also very nice monitors and work verywell with my modded Bottlehead ...

Hello Tubegroover, I hope all is well with you. As far as the acoustic lens Tash told me you can request it in black instead of white, which I agree would look much better. 
Monitors for SET 300b amps
I have a pair of Coincident Triumph UHS revised that sound excellent with my Bottlehead Paramount 300B's. Omega Audio single driver speakers also are very fine monitors which are SET friendly. Check out their website or Audio Circle for more infor... 
Thanks to John and his crew at Audio Connections
Audio Connection is a great dealer and John Rutan is a pleasure to deal with. 
Audio in NC
I second Goldprint Audio. Taylor is a very nice person to deal with. 
Best Speakers You Have Ever Heard In Your Home
Morduant Short Performance 6's still sound fabulous and they have not gotten due credit in the USA probably because the company makes many midfi speakers which are also excellent buys in their respective price ranges. 
Floorstanders designed to be against the wall?
Hornshoppe Horns and Omega both make floorstanders that work very well against the wall.
