Here's the article. About midway I guess. http://www.monoandstereo.com/2016/05/raidho-ansuz-aavik-in-depth-overview.html?m=1

Yes. Yes. That helps. Warmer side. Naim. I read article that also commented about the SS/Naim synergy. This was a demo at Raidho/SS HQ and that's what they use. Says it all for me. To be fair I use a NaimUniti 2 with my 2.5 but my dealer also uses...

Not sure I would say that. My experience with the GX200 was good enough for me to blind buy the MB2.5 over a year ago. I have not thought about upgrading since then. Well I have thought about mb3.5 and now the new mb5. Same tweeter.

 I heard Monitor Audio GX200 a couple of years back and thought it sounded nice. The ribbon tweeter on it kind of helped me decide on the MB2.5.  
Any Bluetooth wireless speakers that you like?
Dynaudio XEO 2.  
Integrated Match to Focal Spora No. 2
Not an IA but a 2 box system that seems to do the job is Naim 272/250DR combo.

In my 20'x10' room driving my 2.5 with a 70w NaimUniti 2 turned up half way is too loud in my room. I'm sure more power wouldn't hurt but I don't think it's needed.

I have mine placed very close to the wall using as surrounds in a 5.1 setup and they are performing great. They should perform fine as maids close to the wall since they are front ported but you will lose some depth in the soundstage.

I'm hoping you're right about cables making a difference. I'm hoping to get some Ansuz X speaker cables to replace my Naim NACA5. My dealer says they are a very good cable for the price. I think they are a bit pricey at around $1800-$1900 for a 3M...

I use a NaimUniti 2 with my 2.5s and they sound fantastic. 
W4S mPre?
Think this will be an improvement from an Anthem MRX 500 for 2 channel? Will just have a Mac mini hooked to it in my HT setup.
