Speaker suggestion between $1000 and $2000 please........
I listen to jazz, classical, rock, folk. Midrange is important to me and I have a listening room similar to yours in size.I've posted recently in this forum asking for a comparison between Dynaudio Evoke 10's and the Salk Wow1s. I was really amaze... 
Help deciding on REL 328 -- size vis a vis rooms? Match w/ speakers? Buy or wait?
Thanks for the confirmation of my choice and for the advice. I'm saving this thread for future reference. Much appreciated! 
Help deciding on REL 328 -- size vis a vis rooms? Match w/ speakers? Buy or wait?
I found advice about using different subs here: https://www.avsforum.com/forum/113-subwoofers-bass-transducers/1414198-2-different-subwoofers-5-2-system.htmlI think that's answered my own question! 
Help deciding on REL 328 -- size vis a vis rooms? Match w/ speakers? Buy or wait?
That’s good advice. I’ve gone ahead and purchased the Rel sub. Would I now be committed to buying another identical sub (in brand and/or size) or could I bring a less pricy model on board? 
How do you audition speakers at a store?
Great replies above. I’d only add a couple things. When I went, I brought some bookshelves I knew well and had them set up next to the speakers I was auditioning, then A/B’d them. I could hear differences between the two pairs which specifically a... 
Help deciding on REL 328 -- size vis a vis rooms? Match w/ speakers? Buy or wait?
Thanks for the advice. The Rel I'm looking at is pricy enough to get two lesser (but still good) subs, so now I'm a bit conflicted, but I don't think I have an amp which can connect them both -- just one "B" channel with a left and a right. I don'... 
What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More?
I hear you. Thanks! I guess I was also wanting to try a little engagement with folks in the group. There are very few people I know who are into audio, it's good to try a few interactions. 
What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More?
@asvjerry I'm getting good answers here and realizing a thick skin may be necessary. I'm a college professor, of philosophy. I am not at a highly selective school and many are first generation college students. Every semester faculty at my school ... 
What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More?
Thanks, all. That definitely helps. 
What is "break in" and what difference does it make? In amps? Preamps? Speakers? More?
Thanks for your answer. My general comment about what folks have said so far is that I understand (of course) the concept of what "breaking in" means -- and the phenomenological characteristics associated with shoes, shirts, even the way a lawn mo...

Sorry to ask a question that’s been asked so many times. If it were possible, I’d just delete this question and try to come up with something more novel. But I suppose people can just skip answering it. Or give  
Small room amp and speakers recommendation
I’m in the Denver area with a small room. I was looking for speakers under $2k, and especially wanted to audition some.I have gone to a number of dealers in our area — Crescendo, ListenUp, Soundings, Gold Sound, QAV. Gold Sound was a nice place to... 
Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else?
No one has mentioned "Audience The One V3 Speakers" or "ClairAudient". These are speakers near me in Colorado. Any views about these for nearfield listening? https://www.tweekgeek.com/audiophile-speakers/ 
Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else?
@mesch Thanks for the suggestion. I'll go over to Computer Audio to continue that line of questioning. It's good to stay focused on the theme of one's own original post. Have a great day. -- Dave 
Salk bookshelf or Dynaudio bookshelf? Or something else?
@twoleftears Budget ceiling: I'd say $1700 or so, max. As for the Carbons, given that I'm just seeking something smaller for my office, the size of the speaker seems a bit much -- and the price is now a bit high. I started out musing about the Dyn...
