Best $4000-$5000 loudspeaker
I would highly suggest you find a way to listen to the Von Schweikert VR4jr's. They are an incredible value and compete quite favorably with $15 - $20,000 speakers.I took on the line because I have not heard a speaker that could come close to comp... 
AtmaSphere vs. VTL
Totally different beasts. The Atma-sphere, given the right speaker, is a wonderful sounding amplifier. It is severly limited by the speaker's impedence. The sound is very transparent and fast. On some speakers, the sound can be characterized as wh...

Is the EMM CDSD transport in very short supply?
Keithr: It is just you :) 
Is the EMM CDSD transport in very short supply?
Rgs92: Both are true. EMM Labs is extremely backordered not only because they have had metal work supply problems, but also due to extreme demand. 
Does this mean I need Pre Amp w/ AtmaSpheres?
The Atma-sphere's do not have enough power to drive the Talons. Nothing more than that. 
MBL: Best for soundstaging???
The MBL is a very unusual speaker and certainly it's stregnth is it's ability to throw sound around a room in all directions. Off axis repsonse is also very different than most speakers.I find it very fun to listen to at first and then the meat of... 
Lamm L2 and EMM Labs DCC2
Well said Bob. 
Best real DSD recordings on SACD.
Not in any particular order:Chick Corea / Bobby MMahler - Michael T. Thomas (All symphonies) 
atma sphere ma60mkii and revel studios
The speakers are 87dB sensitive. With an autoformer the 3 ohm impedance issue would effectively be nulled. You still have a 60 watt amp driving 87db speakers. Not enough. 
SETs vs. Push/Pull
Tomryan: Have you changed speakers? Are the less efficient (sensitive)? How big a room do you have and what is the rest of your system? 
atma sphere ma60mkii and revel studios
No way. The amps are good. The speakers are good. The amps and speakers are not good together. 
Anyone: Wilson X1Grand Slamm/ Lamm ML2's
Keithr: It will be better in some ways than the ML2.2's, but still not enough power. 
Anyone: Wilson X1Grand Slamm/ Lamm ML2's
Goon: The X1 has higher sensitivity, but it is not easier to drive. 
EMM Labs CDSD / DCC2 - Initial Listening Session
Tim: Rolling over from laughing my ass off. :)Bill: I am incredulous of you inability to decipher the jargon within this inane thread.This thread is wonderful. :)
