Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?

Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?
The speakers that I have are Michael Green Audio free resonance speakers. They sound different with their advantages and disadvantages, they also require very tight control by an amp. Replacement will not be easy. 
Acoustical music
Passion Grace&Fire is spectacular, all digital though. Get original Japanese pressing, I saw a few on ebay and discogs. The same for the Shakti - good analog recording and mastering.Cielo e Terra - American or Canadian first run ( thicker viny...

Upcoming Technics SP-10R (100th Anniversary Model)
Albert says that his Technics' sound is closest to master tape dubs played on his Studer A810 of any turntable he has ever heard. If he is right, and I assume he almost certainly is, who needs Walker, TechDas, TW, Brinkmann etc ? It is also much l... 
Underspent on speakers relative to overall system?

He forgot to add - The best turntables in the world are VPIs -. How would it sound to you?Anyway, I don't give a damn about what he says. And no, I have not heard those speakers, I don't listen to speakers in this price range if I can help it, onl... 
Low noise, neutral, high current power cord for wall to power distributor
Maybe not. On the other hand, I heard that newest Purist top of the line 30th Anniv. power cord with built-in some kind of conditioner is spectacular. That opinion came from those who heard just about everything and had all previous best Purist co... 
Upgrading Turntable suggestions
Oh no, I am not sending my turntable to California for Brian to dial it in, and he doesn't sell Nottingham. 
Any new turntable brands we should pay attention to ?
