New speakers for a new start?
I did a quick scan of the responses and was amazed at the variety of suggestions. You didn't specify if you would accept a vintage design or not, but if you want great transient response and a sound stage that emulates a real performance in a star... 
And Now, For All You Omni Fanatics
The more I read about the current design of these speakers, the F5s and their junior versions, the more convinced I am that these will represent audio nirvana for me. I just sent Evan at ohm an email earlier tonight describing the multiple places ...

Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need?

Legacy Signature SE for 2 Channel
I am planning to use a pair of focus SE's as main LR with a pair of older signature speakers as rear channel surrounds and one of their least expensive center channel speakers. For amps the Emotiva high powered amps will be the first choice and th... 
Shocked. Need Opinions. How muck power do I need?
@ssg308 - I had to laugh when you said its all class A, not because its not a great path to true hi fi, but I am gonna need to say some prayers for you in the summer time with those space heaters amping up the heat in your chilling space...and als...
