Incoming ... Joseph Audio Pulsars
The Pulsars are excellent speakers and respond to the quality of the electronics and recordings. They reproduce what they are feed. I owned them and now have a pair of Perspectives.  
Who thinks $5K speaker cable really better than generic 14AWG cable?
IMHO, if you cannot hear the difference between 14 gauge lamp cord and good speaker cables and interconnects, there is something wrong with your equipment or set up.  
Two Type of sound and listener preference are there more?
Real is good 
Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
Look look at the cover of Stereophile  this month:  Bel Canto Black ACI 600.  
MQA•Foolish New Algorithm? Vote!
Yes.  
How do SVS subwoofers compare to REL?
Sealed Rythmik dual subs. Servo controlled drivers.  
ELAC - Adante... what’s the verdict?
I agree with Schubert. Maybe $3K speakers.  
Magnepan vs B&W: Same specs, different bass?
Check the Cardas website for instructions on setting up Magnepans. I agree the do not produce the same level of bass as box speakers, but they are extremely sensitive to set up. Mine were set up five feet from the back wall.

Speaker specifications are meaningless.  
Hello, my name is WisepreadPanic and I’m an addict
I can quit anytime.  
Class D options
+1 Bel Canto REF600M, but you should consider the Bel Canto Black EX amp. What if you like it better than your tube amp? 
Class D is just Dandy!
Bel Canto Design REF600M was the Absolute Sound co-amp of the year and second place Stereophile for amp of the year, behind the $99K Boulder. The Bel Canto Black EX amp is even better.

I have owned the Bel Canto Black EX DAC and amp for over a month now. Wonderful.  
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
+1 on the Joseph Audio Pearl 3.  
ELAC Uni-fi - All Hype??
Andrew Jones is one of the best speaker designers.  TADs are wonderful speaker, but TAD is not designed to a price point.
