How do I pay?
I would inspect them first and then the seller would have to guarantee them against defects. 
smaller speakers for critical listening?
You certainly are not going to get much bass from small speakers.  Only way to live with them would be to add a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers.  However, add the REL's to a nice pair of towers and you will enjoy music a lot better.  I certainly wou... 
Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound.
Problem I have connecting my speaker cable to my ARCAM AVR 550 is I also have my two REL S2 SHO subwoofers connect to right and left channel using the high level connection.  So far, I am not sure I can use a spade connection based on the design o... 
Do pure copper banana plugs make a difference in the quality of the speaker sound.
I wonder if they have done significant blind testing?I would also be curious to know if I were blind tested to compare speaker cables if I would hear a significant difference?  I doubt someone would sit down to listen to a system and say this soun... 
Adding a sub woofer?
I own a pair of REL S2 SHO subwoofers.  What I like about them is their high level connection as well as their home theater connection for sound effects when watching movies.  I am glad I listened to the dealer because two rather than one.Their hi... 
Can I use 24 gauge speaker cable?
I would use this group to help you.  I noticed a big difference when I purchase a decent set of cables.  Kind of like buying a 1/4" garden hose verses a 1: diameter garden hose.  It is like buying an expensive car and putting cheap oil in it.  If ... 
which speaker to buy
I know Klipsh might handle the power.  However, you better like the high frequencies  I would imagine they might have to large in size.  A pair of REL S2 SHO's would be able to handle the low end because they are amplified.I will be curious to fin...

What's your favorite boutique speaker maker
SALK Audio makes the best speakers for the money  Paradigm also makes some really good sounding speakers. 
Hi-res streaming on Qobuz
I think it would be helpful to have a streamer that displays resolution.  However, even if it does and you cannot hear the difference perhaps there isn't that much of a detectible difference doing a blind test.  I wish my BlueSound Node 2i had a r... 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.
I attended the RMAF a couple of years ago and listened to a pair of SALK Song3 Encore tower speakers priced at $6,000/pair.  I thought they sounded better than a pair of $60,000 speakers down the hall.  Problem is they are sold direct and you will... 
Streaming for beginner
When I purchased my BlueSound Node 2i I purchased a ProJect S2 DAC to connect to the BlueSound.  When I added the external DAC the bass sounded thinner.  I wonder why that was the case?  Of course the ProJect DAC is an inexpensive DAC and perhaps ... 
Tidal MQA vs Qobuz hi-res
I for some reason think MQA on Tidal sounds quite good.  It is supposed to be what was recorded originally.  I have a Bluesound Node 2i and when I purchased it I also purchased an external DAC.  After comparing with and without the DAC, I found th... 
Streaming for beginner
I really think the Bluesound Node 2i sounds great.  I tried adding a DAC, but lost Tidal MQA and the Bluesound playing MQA sounded better.  When adding the DAC the bass frequencies fell off and it sounded thin.  I wonder if Bluesound increased the...
