Tekton Double Impacts
Wow, this thread has really seen some activities for the past couple of days. I missed some "action" here. But it was an interesting read with @shardone being called a troll and @grannyring and @teajay not agreeing, while the DI supporters calling... 
I’d appreciate opinions from RMAF 2017 Show attendees on the Elac Adante AF61
My suspicion is that the Elac AF-61 were the best loudspeakers in their price range or even slightly beyondNot sure about that. Some show reports say that the Tektons were also very good loudspeakers and are priced much less. 
Oppo UDP - 205
Update from my side - I am going with a 12k loudspeaker with the Oppo UDP-205. This should make a bigger sound upgrade than a $5k loudspeaker and $4-5k SACD player. 
KEF LS50... The ultimate anal-ytical speaker for living rooms?
Slightly higher than your price point, but I recently heard the Dynaudio Special Forty and it sounded amazing. The imaging and musicality, both were awesome. It was in a fairly big demo room at the dealer. Another one close to your budget that baf... 
Is anyone going to the Rocky Mountain Audio Fest?
Any new SACD player launches?What about the Tekton room? I understand that they did have a room at the show.Any other interesting products?

Oh come on man. Stereophile are pros. They have a separate photographer to take pics of their equipment. This (seems) like a regular guys like us. I love audio first and photography next. Can't go that wrong :-) 
Oppo UDP-203 Player
Look like Europe and Asia might have Special Editions targeted for audiophiles:http://www.avbuzz.com/audio-video/201709/seUse Google Translate. Some links on their Hong Kong facebook page too:https://www.facebook.com/oppodigital.hk/

what speakers to buy
Sorry but I think some push back against Tekton is sadly becoming necessary on Audiogon - not because Tekton isn’t a great speaker but because it isn’t the the ONLY great speaker. I suspect I am not the only one tired of this.... @shadorne , ...

corvette01,You are welcome. I am so glad to hear that you liked it. Which means that my recommendations are not bad :-) Did you get the power supply with your Auris?While it is not the ultimate DAC, the convenience and the sound quality makes up f... 
Proac Response D 48/Tannoy Kensington
@itzhak1969,Yes, I liked the Spendor D7 and the Proacs D30RS/D48R when I listened to them. I could be happy with either of these loudspeakers. But I am most likely leaning towards the ProAc D48R.The only point I wonder is how it would sound in my ... 
Wilsons are the best speakers in the world
There is nothing called "best" or "worst" speakers. It is all about:1. the room they are in2. people's preference3. matching components4. setups 
Spendor, Harbeth...why so hot ?
The new "D" series Spendors are very nice sounding loudspeakers. I have also listened to Harbeths. I think it depends on what amp/preamp/source  are used in the system, that makes the system and hence the loudspeakers, enjoyable to listen to. BTW,...

@corvette01, I forgot to mention that now-a-days the Auris bluMe comes with USB cable and charger. It was not the case when I originally purchased it.Please let me know your thoughts on how the Auris sounds when you get yours and install it in th...
