It's the same for car reviews. The reviewer practically falls over himself, doting on the car's attributes only to take exception to it a year later when comparing to the newer version, bringing up 'obvious' faults of the older one.One must take n...

Dare I suggest you try to find someone who can demo a pair of Tonian Labs TL-D1 speakers? They are musical first, and can be detailed or even analytical second, depending on your set up. They excel at chamber, piano, violin and small ensemble work...

JBL Connoisseurs...
I believe it was in an old issue of the HiFi Critic, a Disney sound engineer submitted plans for building his version of a speaker. It was quite large. He used only JBL drivers and horns and went on to say that they made some of the the best drive... 
Long IC pre to amp
Zu Audio Mission ICs. I use a 15' pair from my Centrance DACmini to my stereo and there is no roll off of the highs, lows or anything else. They work great.I got them for about half price bidding over on ebay from Zu Audio.
