What effect will removing a whizzer cone have?
this is why god made woofers and tweeters....or maybe it was henry kloss...same thing. 
Looking for New Speakers - Suggestions
go 'ohm' and don't come back. 
Zu or Harbeth
one man's 'midrange with inner detail' is another man's 'forward midrange with rolled off highs'. the harbeth 40's are a great speaker, but don't dismiss the vandy either for doing what it was designed to be..a flat response-over a very wide bandw... 
Sonus Faber Electa Amator mk I vs Auditor M

The great Soupy Sales died
the infamous 'new year's day' show 
Which new VPI Turntable?
go used and expand search(in the 2500 range), or purchase a used vpi hw series for less.

Most non-fatiguing 2.0 nearfield setup for $1000
spica 50 or 60 
Bill Evans V V 1961 vs Bill Evans V V 1980
my favorites are the verve sides. 
Detailed sound? Real?
real interaction vs simulated. apply that to anything. reading a good book doesn't put you in the jungle....it may however enrich your life. 
Moving up from Marantz 2325, to new amp and preamp
you're fine. 
Speaker most similar to Proac REsponse 2
the proac D2. the change in 'house sound' has been overstated. The D2 is one of the best 'british' bargains out there, and is a worthy successor to the response 2.
