Aerial Acoustics vs. Joseph Audio
I have not heard the Joseph Audio Perspective but like their other models a lot, still had an old pair of JSE's (from their designer). The Aerial 7T's are an awesome speaker too, tough choice! Trust your ears, bring them both home and see what wor...

It will need to go back to Krell. 
Wharfdale Diamond - Pleb Audiophile speaker?
A agree with Paraneer, I had the TOTL Opus for several months, great speaker for the money!

Well, found another really good Whiskey shop in Christchurch New Zealand of all places, got me a bottle of 1984 Benrinnes, cask strength, un-chill filtered, love me some Benrinnes! Also brought home a bottle of 19 yr old Ben Nevis sherry cask, wai... 
CES 2013 - 4k and Ultra HD video thoughts
Right now with no standard for delivery of 4K (UltraHD) content even I will sit be and wait.......I do see real advantages to 4K but refuse to be an early adopter and get screwed again. This has happened to me SO many times in the last 12 years I ... 
Less listings
Since Audiogon changed their site their web traffic has dropped by ~30% by Alexa ratings..... Many people I know no longer check the site daily as they had for years and now only use it from time to time..... 
Audio Research Contact.

4K offers much improved color space and yes, for large fixed pixel displays it does make a difference. I will buy one once they are more reasonable if my new home still has the same lighting issues my old one did, but I WILL NOT buy one until a st... 
Kef Blade or Wilson Audio Alexia?
I've heard the Blade at a few shows with top gear and they never impressed me, I have owned several Kef systems and the Blade always sounded just flat and boring to me.I owned Wilson Sasha W/P's and they are very impressive, sold due to moving out...

hendrix winterland fans....
Jimi's Blues and Filmore East are some of my favorite of my 62 Hendrix albums. Valley of Neptune would be the worst. 
Krell fpb 600 problem
I suspect it will only get worse over time, sounds like you need some service. Don't expect it to be cheap and shipping will cost a ton too..... Something is dying in your amps power supply, it likley won't improve over time but I'd bet it WILL ge... 
Rockport Mira not Mira 2 vs. Monitor Audio PL300
The Rockport Mira's are awesome and would be my choice by far of the two. 
the best, cost-no-object, music streamer?
I totally agree with Kal, the Meridian Sooloos system is pretty cool and sounds really good. It also has the best search functions of any server and the best meta-data as well.
