| Shopping for speakers at $1500-$2000 is a chore. I almost bought a Rogue Sphinx. It should work well to suit your needs with most any speaker mentioned in that room which is not large. You'll know what you like best when you hear it. Were it me, I would audition Goldenear Aon 3. That should do n... | |

YEs, many good choices in that range.Goldenear Aon3 is the best I have heard recently that costs less than that and might compete well with more expensive alternatives.

| What is your recommendation on upgrading a Linn LP The 1980's Linns are keepers. I'd do whatever I could to keep mine going. I am original owner of my Linn Axis that continues to deliver the goods. I'll be keeping it still as long as is possible. | |
| Is Dynaudio forgiving speakers? I think Dynaudio is an excellent choice for what you are looking for. I use them with good quality Class D amplifiers and find them to be an excellent match there, adding just a touch of warmth and with excellent weight to the music for their size... | |
| Anyone interested in world music? Putumaya and "Rough Guide" labels/series are great samplers for finding world music. I pick them up whenever I can.I'm not much of an album or single artist guy these days. I'm much more into finding the individual tracks or compositions that I re... | |

| Disappointing audition after great review Having worked in audio stores and had the opportunity to compare a lot of gear, it is true that exposure to a lot of different gear is an asset but most likely two differnt people will still likely draw two different conclusions when it comes to t... | |
