Standmount speakers. I have $5000.
The new Dynaudio Contour line is really good. Can get barely used Contour 20 for well under 3k or the Special 40 for around 2k used.  
4 ohm (or 6) Bookshelf speakers. Pass Labs 30.8
Dynaudio Contour 20 is really good but its a pretty big monitor and very current hungry. For something smaller and a little less demanding I'd be all over some Dynaudio Special 40.  
Ears hurt when listening after changing speakers
Hmm. You think Dynaudio Esotar tweeters are bright? Never heard that before.  
Marantz PM KI Pearl Integrated
Bummer already sold.  
Tube integrated
That Octave looks sweet! If you are at all intersted PM me I may be able to direct you to a killer deal on one. Almost bought one myself a while back but it wasn't in the cards.

Thanks again. Looked that up in the meantime sorry I didnt say could have saved you a minute.

Thanks I think I'll try and get it. Does that pearl SACD player have digital in to just use it as a DAC? He has one of these for sale as well. Im selling my Lyngdorf so I will not have a DAC other than the one in my Bluesound node which is just so...

Thanks Greg. I may be able to snag it for 1k so guess Im not really risking anything if I dont like it. Little worried that warm means not detailed or sluggish which I would not want. Ill see if I can snatch it up next week.  
B&W 604 S3 Speakers to Focal Electra 1028BE?
Yes huge upgrade. 600 series B&W vs a semi world class speaker there is no comparison. Obviosly results will depend on amplification.  
Best speakers for max. $3000?
Tekton Double Impacts are the speaker to beat for 3k IMO. Other nice stuff in that range but nothing full range that comes close.  
Looking for a good full range floor stander
Uhh no. Anyone couldn't build a Merlin. He had special coatings on the driver's and worked on the crossovers for 20 years to perfect. What you are saying is kinda disrespectful.  
Why so many JL Audio Fathom subs for sale I wonder
Maybe people are hearing about all the capacitor problems in the amplifier. 4k sub should not be having these problems. Mine just went out. Not happy.  
Tekton or Klipsch
I had some Chorus 2 upgrade with Crites tweets and crossover for a minute. They were good with tubes but could not keep up with fast paced music and sounded kinda harsh when played loud. I have not heard the Forte 3 so could be totally different.T... 
Jamming with JAMO?
Jaybo,I just started a post a few weeks ago about speakers for a pool table room. Normally I would feel kinda bad about hijacking a thread but considering this is 8 years old .... You mention the Ohms are visceral? Can you explain that more? They ... 
New System for Pool Table Room
I hear ya about the ceiling speakers. I just dont wanna brand new big project. On the bottom floor of 2 story house so no attic to run wires. I'm sure I can figure it out without too much drywall cutting if I put in the time. But I suuuuuuck at dr...
