Wilson Sabrina (not X), Sonus Faber Nova 2, or Vandersteen Treo CT
@delmatae I do not know much about that amp, but you may want to consider a sub to relieve some of the bass if that amp does not have an abundance of umphf. Even though most everyone in this thread is rating the Vandy, it would be good to have a ... 
Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
    I do not want to say a Dunlavy speaker can not produce great sound. I am sure it can. The setup sucked. My latest tangent-yes I recognize my OCD behavior- is starting to learn how to build a custom 3 way using the best speakers I can get... 
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
If I buy the speakers that appear closest to what I desire they are $11k new and $8k used. @chorus  What is it that you desire? can you intimate it with words? I heard some Devore O/96 the other day that threw a wider stage than i expected. ... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
Once again:      No one can possibly tell you whether/how your system, room and/or ears will respond to some new addition.   There are simply too many variables.      LIKEWISE: no one can possibly know whether a new addition (ie: some kind of... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
  With a little bit of digging there exists more than sufficient measurements and certifications (if necessary) available about cables and fuses from responsible and reputable manufacturers. All in about one or two lines of information. Proble... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
This is very funny! That does not prevent you one bit from posting non-stop for things you never heard. I suppose that it does sound more farcical when I echo those words back.   Are you sure? Please define "factual post". Does sharing one’s... 
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
Brother has a dog named cooper?... Like ol yeller, they are copper coloured?  
Those who seek to deny access to information
For a person that has a “god inspired” moniker of a user name, you do not convey the loving side that we often hear about. I think “audio-gone” describes things when there is little audio talk, and mostly it is your vexation with wires, vexation ...

I have not heard Wilsons or SF. But then again I have older Vandys, and have not been disappointed over many decades.  
Mixing Ethernet Cables
Would running Cat 8 from the switch to the streamer be of any benefit given that the signal is only Cat 5 from the router to the switch? No. Unless you are at a national lab doing some huge data intensive movement, or running pornhub, your bit... 
To Buy or to DIY, here is my question
I was going to do some homemade ones, but found a nice speaker already engineered. There is always active XO if you do not like doing crossovers. Then there are cabinet resonances, etc, so it is not like it is just a table saw, a drill, and a ro... 
Those who seek to deny access to information
Exactly how does anyone on this site "deny access to information" to another poster?  In the windmills of our minds? I have seen some negative posts, but the OP one, is a doozy. In defense of Audio-gone, it is a business, not an strictly a si... 
Survey on Cost of Loudspeakers Supported On Townshend Seismic Isolation Podiums
For anyone who has not heard of Townshend “The Shill” has only been gone for a month, so I am not sure there is anyone that did not hear him talk about them numerous times.  
Dunlavy SC IV Speaker- Any Good???
Page 17-19 show some impressive performance. Looks like some cabinet resonance, but the impulse and step function look superb.      
Inexpensive speaker cables: any experience?
Cables depend on system matching of course, but cheapish off the reel cables worth looking at would be Jupiter or Dueland, WE copies? Not tried yet but some good reports. Popular with tube supporters. Or it is all B$, and the system matching is...
