Focal Kanta 2 vs Revel F228Be
“I was wondering why they weren’t on the list.”Probably because the price increased from $14,500 to $19,000. At $19k I would look for a larger speakers but that is me (I have a large room). I have not heard them so on opinion on sound quality. 
New Klipsch Forte III’s
Last_lemming,I demoed a pair and sounded as you describe. I don’t know how much time was on them. I would add subs but I add subs to everything lol.  
B&W 702 Signature vs The original B&W 702 S2
I owned the 703s (order version of the 702s) and I think they are really bad (first “highend” speaker and I did not know any better). There is some thing very odd with the upper mids around 4-5k range. The current 804d3 do the same thing imo. It i... 
"Musical" subwoofers? Advice please on comparing JL subs
The JL audio E110 will be fine. Don’t let anyone tell you different. The high pass crossover in then works well if you have separates (the sub goes between your pre amp and amp).  I would go with two smaller subs over one larger more expensive sub... 
Magico A3
Yyzsantabara,Yes that was me and I remember our conversations. I contacted audiogon about fishing emails I was receiving from their site and they just closed my account with no discussion. That was their version of customer service....I lost inter...

Ozzy,the sopras do look nice. I have not heard them but liked the 1037be back when I demoed them.

Prof,Mostly it is Upgraditus. I am always looking for more detail. I have had the thiels for awhile (5 years maybe) and I am just board with them now. I have not demoed the newest models from the major brands. Last time I looked around at Sophia 3...

Prof,what thiel do you have? I have a pair of 2.4CS that I pair with two JLE112s and I am looking into the A3. Thanks.  
Using JL Audio Esub with Merlin VSM
I have 2 E112s in my system. They are between my preamp and amp using the internal high pass cross over. You will want to use the JL’s internal crossover as it does a very good job. You will have to set each volume on the sub during setup though. ... 
Dual-Use Subwoofer?
Yes this can be easily done. I have teo JL E112s and I have a two channel system passed thought for home theater. To make it even more complicated I low pass the mains and send the low effect signal to the subs at the same time for movies. The sub... 
Wilson Sasha 1
I forgot the add the Sasha 1 is one of my favorite all time speakers and I think spending more is silly unless you have a very large room to fill. Maybe bor the best or the most accurate but I enjoyed them the most.  
Wilson Sasha 1
I 2nd adding your subs. The crossover that JL makes will work well. I would even try them at 60hz. Your speakers are starting to dive there. I added 2 JL E112 subs a few years ago and it stopped my upgrading. I will probably never have a system wi... 
Moving up from B&W CM9
I went from a pair of B&W 703s (older nicer version of the Cm9) to a pair of Thiel 2.4CS and the improvement was staggering. what I learned is that the 703s is just a bad speaker, not really good at anything and the Thiels are over achievers a... 
A speaker that looks like a driver or a driver that looks like a speaker?
What is the point of the design acoustically? Or is it just to look different?  
Wilson Sasha 2 or Alexia for small room 10' x 17'?
Audiotroy, or is it Audiotroll I remember....
