Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers
Risk is zero. Once you hear them, no way they're going back. 
Path of signal from turn table to speaker
Right. Its all analog. There is no digital at any point. The signal in the record groove is analog, but it is equalized with bass way down and treble way up in what is called RIAA equalization. Its also very low level (volume). You can play a reco...

Focal 1028BE2's or Tekton Moab Towers
Moabs definitely do have a full, robust sound and are extremely cohesive. Sorry you were so horribly misinformed. Mine sound great with everything. Classical- full orchestra and intimate quartet both equally compelling and realistic. Rock- U2, Spr...

Same watts at 8 and 4 ohms?
Millercarbon, are your Talons for sale? The Talons went in a heartbeat. Well its hard for people to believe. They look at my system and it doesn’t look all that special. https://systems.audiogon.com/systems/8367 In fact most of what’s going on is ... 
Aftermarket fuse for subwoofers?
I've got some that are 2x, 3x. For what its worth I would keep for a spare before I'd sell. They will replace if one blows but there's the mail lag and listening to the factory fuse after getting used to Orange is hard.
