Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters?
The speakers I'm about to recommend are not floorstanders but meet your criteria to a tee. If you don't mind, may I recommend the Clearwave Duet 6 monitors? In my small to medium sized room they go clean (+/-2db) from 1Khz down to 40Hz, down about... 
No sound OPPO 105
It could be you have to go into OPPO's menu and select the output. OPPO has great customer service and if you call them they'll most likely walk you through it.All the best,Nonoise 
Kanye West - Grammy comment, re Beck
One can never swig too much Barolo until one wakes up the next day. 
does anyone know how this sounds
Probably like a good stereo should. I don't own any of your equipment but have heard the KEF900s and they did sound nice.All the best,Nonoise 
Getting phantom image perfectly centered
I recall this question being asked quite some time ago and if I remember correctly, practically all recordings 'lean' to the left side of center. It was a phenomena inherent in the recording process as nothing was really dead center. Most modern r... 
Sealed / Front-ported monitor recommendations
Have you tried some form of absorbtion or reflection panels behind the speakers? I use some heavy wool rugs behind mine and the speakers are about 18" from the front wall relative to the front of the speakers.I've had Tonian Labs TL-D1s (which are... 
Clear Day Cables Speaker Cables
One has to pay attention to cable gauge, length of cable, power output of amp and speaker efficiency when determining single or double runs of Clear Day speaker cables.I found out that the 16 gauge Tempo Electric speaker cables were fine with my T... 
cable advice
Clear Day speaker cables and Darwin silver ICs (the entry level ones).All the best,Nonoise 
Speaker recommendation
As close as you are to nowhere, :-), I'd do some serious googling on European, Australian and Asian speaker makes. There's a plethora of makes out there that don't reach American shores and to just limit your choices to what we'd know would be doi... 
Clearwave Duet 6 Monitors
Tasos1,Thank you. I was wondering if anyone read my review under the "Review">"Speakers" section. I think the Job amp and premap will be a killer marriage made in heaven as it has the power and speed needed. There's definitely something about t... 
Does HiRez really sound better?
Sgunther,I don't have a vinyl rig (but wish I could afford a nice one):-). I don't stream either as I'm stuck in the CD/SACD camp but as my system matured I could hear a difference with very well recorded CDs and SACDs leading me to believe that i... 
Does HiRez really sound better?
I don't know if that is the reason (not liking high end audio) as Goldmund is pretty much all high end and if there were money to be made with the format, they'd be on it like white on rice. I say this not to be contentious but there is another ar... 
A whole new meaning to "live" music
I'd hate to imagine but I'm told I have a writer's imagination.All the best,Nonoise 
great dynamics at a med-low volume?
Looking up your amp I see it outputs 300W @ 8ohms so I imagine what I'm presently breaking in would do: Clearwave Duet 6 monitors. They're rated at 85db efficiency and you will have the power to move them. They pack a hell of a lotta punch for the...
