$10K Budget for Speakers: Martin Logan Masterpiece vs Tannoy
Love my Dynaudio Contour 60i. Excellent speaker warranting consideration as well.  
Am I out of my mind? #obsessed
That is precisely why I went with walnut. Gloss black is just impossible to keep looking clean.  
Have you changed your mind about a brand? Was it you, or them?
Czech beer is fabulous. Pilsner Urquell has a better flavor over there. Krusovice and Bernard are great as well. Agree with B&W gear. Back in the day I thought it was incredible stuff. Today, there is such a harshness to their highs, that I wo...

Integrated brand choice -- Simaudio, Hegel or Mark Levinson?
I've listened to the h390 Hegel and felt it was a bit dry and antiseptic. I'm sure the h590 outperforms it. Ended up with a Naim Supernait 3 which I love. To me Naim gives me what I like to hear: rich, full-blooded clarity. Good luck and let us kn... 
Recommend speakers for Hegel H190
I think the Focal 936 or Dyn Excite X44 (discontinued but still available at 3500.00 usd) would be solid choices. 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
Just got the Cardas Clear Cygnus. I just love them. I hear a sonic difference. And it isn't a psychosomatic thing.
