Modwright KWA 150
Although I just spoke to the dealer, seemed to suggest it would sound better on a very clear open speaker than a speaker with a dark character.Hmmm...I'm not familiar enough with the speakers you are considering to comment on them specifically. I ...

Would you say vocals are very natural sounding or do they come through with some colouration?I'd say vocals sound natural. Period. Like a person in the room. I would not call it colored, no. It is not warm or glowing...it's just very real/natural ... 
Modwright KWA 150
I'm biamping with 150's, though probably don't need to be with my current speakers. I also used a single 150 for a year before going with two. I would not define "warm" as bass heavy, but rather having a bump in the lower mids. That said, I would ... 
How close to the real thing?
I mean no offense to anyone by this, including the OP (inevitably someone will take some, I'm sure), but I just gott'a get this out, and yes I am poking fun at y'all; to me this is the kind of wholly ridiculous speculation and pointless discussion...

is the Le Corbusier LC2 that is built by CASSINA a good chair for listening? I sat in one today and it was pretty good. I like the lower back area so as not to interfere with the sound.Are there any alternatives to the Le Corbusier? Thanks.No, tha... 
Would you pay to listen?
Not even if there were dancing girls and performing chimps on unicycles juggling flaming swords! Maybe if Natalie Portman was the host. 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
You guys gotta quit using that lady-scented body wash! I'm on a horse. 
You got to be ?& · Kidding me
And if that is truly your goal, then there are absolutes in this hobby, and indeed some gear is actually better than others and not just different sounding. Because we are human and as individual as our faces and fingerprints, we each perceive and... 
Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
I've seen photographic evidence in some of the mainstream rags among their advertisers that certain specific brands seem to be like sirens for beautiful women. They also seem to enjoy revealing their physical assets while standing by the chick-mag...

you might want to look at the latest issue of the absolute sound. there are a few inexpensive amps recommended. try to listen to them, or pick one and consider cap replacement. yes, i know, reviews are what they are, but if you replace some key pa... 
You got to be ?& · Kidding me
I have just a few rambling thoughts - The DAC I'm currently using in my main system utilizes PCM1704 Burr Browns. Not exactly brand spanking new technology, yet it's one of the finest digital front ends I've heard - both natural and resolving. Thi...
