Zu Essence vs Devore Nine vs Maggies
I am also curious in the Zu Essence and wonder how they would compare to my current Klipsch RF-7s? 
zu essence?
Anyone? I want to try the Essence but want to make sure that they are an upgrade from my current Klipsch RF-7 
Cary SLP98L vs Juicy Music Peach II
Everyone considers the stock Cary to be warm and smooth. I consider the Peach to be smooth but I don't know if I would call it warm. Does anyone have an idea of how JuicyMusic is on the warm scale compared to the Cary? 
Cary SLP98L vs Juicy Music Peach II
I may be looking at the Cary again. Any thoughts on the standard SLP 98L vs the Direct Coupled version? I like the sound of the Peach just would like a preamp that can be off in bypass mode. 
Cary SLP98L vs Juicy Music Peach II
No, keeping the peach, the ability to leave the Cary off in HT mode is a nice feature but I think the Peach is actually the better sounding pre (based on others that have compared the 2)

How would the Essence compare to Klipsch? I currently have the RF-7 but am looking at the P-37F (Palladium) as well.

Any compare the Essence to the Presence? I have read great things about the Presence. 
Klipsch Palladium P-39F?
I don't doubt that better crossovers exist, i just doubt that 90% of the sound is controlled by this. If that is the case then I would be quite confident that many high end companies would have huge external crossovers. I am sure the crossover is ... 
Klipsch Palladium P-39F?
I understood you to mean that the crossover has an impact on 90% of the sound not the cost, i just question the validity of this claim. Furhermore what brand of high-end speakers use crossovers the size of amplifiers? Theil 3.7 is the same dimensi... 
Klipsch Palladium P-39F?
"palladiums although far better than many still barely broke above the "Skimp" level on crossovers, and crossovers in this case and most speakers are 90% of the design and final sound you get.. Cabinets about 7% and drivers about 3%"How factual ar... 
Klipsch Palladium P-39F?
I am not surprised that they sounded better than the Wilsons or the Thiel. I think it is funny that people think a company the size of Klipsch does not have the resources to compete with niche brands like Wilson or Thiel. Wilson purchases their dr...

Best speaker for vocals
The new Klipsch Palladium p37F look very interesting 
Best speaker for vocals
Room size is 15 x 18 with vaulted ceilings, i am using a Juicy Music Peach II preamp and B&K 200.2 amp. I sit about 10-12 feet back and the RF-7s are about 8 feet apart. Overall the sound is very good but I am always looking for improvements a... 
Best speaker for vocals
I agree that "best for vocals" could easily be just "best speaker" but I have read great things about the 803d as an overall speaker but is is often criticized for its recessed vocals. The RF-7 is a 2 way so I assume that the 803d would be an impr...
