Best speaker for small room?
harbeth HLP3 es 2s 
BAT with Harbeth? Other recommendation..?
Had owned M30 s for quite sometime. These are a bit warmer sounding speaker.The Vk55 and the VK75 sounded really good with these. The VK220 i felt was just too warm for my taste.I heard these speakers as well with accuphase gears, they also sounde... 
Esoteric P5/D5 Opinions please
No intention of starting a war here but sometimes value becomes a consideration. Player Y might be better than player X but at what cost and how much better is it?## cost / value is a consideration, otherwise, its always better to aim for the "bes... 
Difference: Accuphase DP500 Or Esoteric X-03 SE
thanks for the reply. It seems both are different enough that for different type pf music and systems they would appeal.In a way if one can afford, owning both flavour would be good. Different music genres would appeal to either taste.thanks again...

Purist Aqueous PC vs. Dominus PC for CD player
at this price range, consider also the acrolink PC7100. Its very very good for CD players.

Which floorstander to match Accuphase E-450?
the harbeth SHL5 is a great match wth E450 + DP500. Heard it a few times and its fantastic.E450 might run out of steam with the bigger Dyns though in a big room.
