Vandersteen VLR CT
I will agree, there's nothing wrong with the standard Treo's. I've been looking at the sub 3 also. I've got a few bass node problems that can't be fixed with the limited controls of the 2Wq sub. Jim (tomic601) had some good ideas that I used with ...

Vandersteen VLR CT
gdnrbob,Is it within your budget to possibly sell/trade your standard Treo's and get the CT version? A couple of years ago RV told me the Carbon Tweets were about $1500 per pair. Said he could make two pair a day. Sounds pretty labor intensive.

Speakers with the most detailed midrange? (non-ESL/planar)
Vandersteen. Any model.

I have found racks do make a difference, but also believe you don't have to spend a fortune on a good one. The thing that made the biggest difference in vibration control, for me, wasn't a rack, but going from a house with suspended floor (basemen... 
Which Class D Amplifier? PS Audio, Ghent, Nord, Merrill or other???
Having lived in the Mid-West, I thought a punch in the face, in Chicago, was a way of saying"Hello!" :-P

Paradigm Persona series
Audiotroy,That wasn't the issue. You specifically asked "How flat the speaker measured." Maybe boring to you, but many people have lauded that speaker over the past 6 to 8 years. Boring is just your opinion. Your arrogance never ceases to amaze me...

"Please Rivonale show me one lauded speaker system measured by Stereophile which actually measures flat?"Audiotroy, take a look in the Stereophile archives and look at the frequency response plot of the Revel Salon 1 loudspeaker system. Looks impr...
