| Miami, Florida Czarivey, do you know the name of the shop? | |
| Great bookshelf or small towers suggestions The Cremonas were replaced by the current Olympicas I believe. The 2nd hand market will make them fit in your budget, but new, the Cremona or Olympica is fairly expensive. | |
| Miami, Florida Asmodai,Sound components is nice, but leans pretty high end. The Audio Salon in Coral Gables is worth checking out. Sound Advice has more approachable items, nice shop as well. Believe it or not, Best Buy Dadeland Station has a pretty nice magno... | |

| Critical listening or a reason to keep tinkering? Different parts of my system have evolved at different paces and have reached varying degrees of completeness in the sense that you are asking about. For example, over the past 20 years, I went from moderately inexpensive monitor speakers to moder... | |
| Need feedback on loudspeakers If you can run at 4 ohm, I recommend adding Wilson Sophia 2's to your list. I recently upgraded my speakers to this model and I am extremely happy. Prices used are excellent at about $6500 - $7500 right now, darn good value for a $16,700 speaker. | |
