Cable connect to Harbeth 30 2.0
Ctwith3 --- can you describe the sound of your new 30.2 XDs?  How are they placed in your room?  What stands are you using?  I just order a pair --my first Harbeths. 
Magico A3 vs Magico S1 MK2
A3 owners:  what is the distance from the front wall you've found works well?  I can do 2 ft ---is that enough to avoid uneven bass?thanks--- 
Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt
1) Johnk's comment doesn't make any sense --- no facts supporting it.  Comment about Revel used prices has no statistical validity and no evidence of dealer "nervousness".  2) ctsooner2 - which dealer said that?

Thanks rocray178 for your comments.  Others replies largely say the same, and I couldn't find any info to suggest any truth to it.

Thanks for the footer comment ctsoner2.Markun01 --- what speaker brand did you buy? 
Speaker Cables for Revel Studio Ultima.
Ask speaker and amplifier designers and they will tell you what you want is the right cable for your amplifier, not speaker (speaker cable is a misnomer). 
New Revell PerformaBe speakers
Think it is better as it has the latest beryllium tweeter assembly (better than what is in Salon/Studio).

forgot to add ---- has anyone tried the GAIA III floor discs?  I haven't setup the spikes yet, just using the rubber feet.   
Revel speakers - dealer scuttlebutt
I went ahead and purchased the F35s (in black) as a pathway to better ones (the BE floorstanders are on the radar and others I'm waiting to hear).  Does anyone have an idea of breakin time needed?  Do you face them toed-in or not?How far do you re...

All - likely will not engage in discussing with dealers brands they don't carry.  John Rutan is  excellent ---- A great ear and trustworthy.  Independent research --- Audiogon, magazines, friends, etc.  all help with  providing useful information ... 
A civil discussion about the state of Audio Research
Great discussion --- the only piece that's missing is a contribution from ARC themselves.  Here we are, significant purchasers of ARC products.  The company should appreciate our views, experiences, and some frustrations, and take this as an oppor...

Appreciate  your comments. Dougstat you are right --- I learned a lesson.  My situation is that I'm looking for new speakers, and have come to like the Revel floorstanders.  I went to the Harmon store in my city and heard the F228BE.  Not having h... 
Enjoying My New Focal Sopra No2's
Stevizzy,You are right (and I am wrong)---Sopra 2 doesn't have foam plugs (only Sopra 1 does).  From what you wrote there is no issue with flabbly/boomy bass response given your setup (3 ft from front wall). That's great to hear.  I will go back t... 
Sopra 2 soundstage height
Nice thread-  I have a question on the Sopra 2's bass response.  I heard them for the first time at a dealer who placed them 3 ft or so from back wall.  Great soundstage, mid bass was fine, but the lower bass was boomy.  I noticed this on jazz (wi... 
Focal Sopra 2 vs Sopra 3?
This is a great thread with a lot of good construction opinions!  I have a question on the Sopra 2:  I went to hear them at a dealer where they were set up 3+ feet from the front wall, driving by McIntosh electronics. I loved the soundstage, the s...
