Do the original JM Reynaud Bliss hold up today?
The only review of the standard Bliss I'm aware of is one by Nelson Brill for Stereo Times from 12 years ago.  His description fits my experience with six different pairs of Reynaud's including the Bliss Jubilee.   http://v2.stereotimes.com/post/... 
Will this amp work as described below:
The measurements on the website are for full Class A operation with .01 % when it goes into class A/B operation it is well north of 100 wpc before it reaches 1%.  With Fritz's speakers in that size room it will be louder than you can stand.  The s... 
Fritz Carrera or other possibilities!
I've owned the Carrera's and they are a great monitor but if you are looking for "warm and detailed" I would look into the Rev 7 SE and not the the Carbon 7 SE as the Rev 7 SE uses the same level of drivers as the Carrera but replaces the Be tweet... 
Is the PS audio M1200 D class amp worth buying or should I stick to A/B class mono amps
What are you trying to push that needs for than the 250 wpc the Kinki EX-B7's provide?

An alternative to either the Cary or the PSA.      
Ifi Neo Streamer + Denafrips Terminator 12+
The I2S output on the Neo Stream follows the PS Audio pinout convention so if the Denafrips units do not it will not work without a DDC.  Worth finding a $5 HDMI cable and trying it out yourself.  And yes check in on the Head-Fi thread.  
Has anyone listened to or auditioned Verity's new Arindale speaker ?
@garebear    Call Paul Manos at High Fidelity Services in Hingham, Ma who is the US distributor and see if he has even sold one in the US himself or sent one to a dealer. My only experience with Verity is owning the Otello for over four years.   
Is Revelation Audio out of business ?
Ordered two Supratek umbilical cables from Brad a little over a year apart.  Received both cables in less than two weeks with no drama.  Last cable was in June.   
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
Try the other direction, higher in the back with the fronts all the way in.   
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
Yeah they might have been a bit much for Reynaud's from the Twins and Trente era but do just fine with the Abscisse and Bliss Jubilee.   RCA's too a good suggestion but not the Clear Tops as they are a different bred to my ears from the Black Pla... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
Depending on the vintage the Sylvania 6 volt tubes can be pretty forward and could have much more affect than  changing out speaker cables.  Mullard's would of course tone it down but expensive.  An alternative to them are Matsushita for less. And... 
Who is Gonna Buy A New Jeep Grand Wagoneer For the MacIntosh Stereo?
Nor do they make car audio gear.  Just re-branded merchandise from another manufacturer with new exterior skin.   
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
More break-in could certainly help but I have never noticed this with any Reynaud speaker utilizing their dome tweeters.  Simple thing to try it to raise the spikes on the fronts and then the backs of the speaker and see if a slight tilt up or dow... 
Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
@analogj  The Eden's are a stand mount speaker with the tweeter below the bass driver and the Cantabile is a floor stander with the tweeter at the top of the cabinet.  How have you set up the Reynaud's in relation to the set up of the Eden's in r...
