Sorry, can't find very good quality video. But one hell of a great movie.    
A guy asks a question about high efficiency speakers........
🤣🤣WTF?! No. Not even close. Clue to the clueless- not every post is in response to the one directly above. The world is bigger than your narrow world view.  
Adding an ignore list feature to audiogon
I would be happy if the censorship were applied equally. Like, if I said your little needle never find groove, boom, deleted. Girl go banana for big horn?? Boom, deleted! What are you able to get away?  Depends on who you are.  Polarization? Cont... 
Is advice from a constant upgrader to be avoided
Without the people that swap gear frequently you would never be able to get the common questions "how does this vs this sound" answered. A common misunderstanding. In fact we are totally able to answer these questions without ever so much as a ... 
What happened?

I think it is not even close, you want the Paradigm. Why? Because you are on a budget, you have to be smart about things. Kef are 89dB sensitivity, Paradigm 94dB. This means you will need almost FOUR TIMES the watts to drive the Kef as the Paradig... 
RCA interconnect recommendation
Study what ghdprentice says above. There are many, many things that make a great deal of difference that don't cost a lot of money. Some of them do however cost a lot in terms of time and effort. To give just one example, things like springs might... 
Next upgrade?
I like the system a lot, but I wonder what can I do next (excluding cables or power supply). What would be the place where I can get the most improvement from an (second hand) upgrade? Got to love it. Don't know what to do- but please don't tel...

Remember when you get ground loop hum, move the phono over to the same as everything else.
