Best New speaker under $5000
>They are hard to find used, which doesn't seem to be an issue for you, you can get them new from the factory. For a smallish two way, they are real shockers...<Agree and disagree. Yes they are hard to find used, but there is a pair on the G... 
Anyone recommend a neutral tube amp?
The cj premier 140 is quite neutral, but still sounds like tubes. If you want a tube amp that sounds like SS, listen to a Sonic Frontiers Power 2 or VAC PA 100/100. These two amps combine what is NOT good about both technologies.Oz 
Am I Bad Listener?
If you are playing the "switching game", where you listen to snippets of music, then swap in the new component, you are in for severe frustration. That is why triple blindfolded, hands-over-eyes, no peek-a-boo testing is crap. It's the long term l...

Sherod,Are you really sure you want to see this bastardized DCM speaker? Or are you just in the mood for a good laugh?Oz 
Question on Benz Trade-Ins
I am on my second Benz L2. Actually third, if you count the one I foolishly sold to buy a Shelter. I liked it so much that I traded my last one + 500.00 in to Elusive Disc for a brand new one. Hey, I don't mind spending 500.00 for a new 1300.00 ca...

Passive Preamps w/ Transformer Volume Control
Passive linestages can be very good if the rest of your system is up to the task. And a well designed TVC is the best of this breed. First, you must determine your amp input sensitivity and voltage gain, speaker sensitivity, source output impedenc... 
Watt / Puppy without the crossover

Vandersteen 3a sig vs. Paradigm studio 100
Do we think it is a step forward or back? Well that depends on which one you currently own. And you don't even give a clue as to which that is.....Oz 
Conrad Johnson MV60
I have had my Premier 140 for about 4 months now, totally reliable and sounds great. A buddy has had the MV60SE for a few years. Also reliable and another great sounding amp. Neither of these has the typical old cj sound. They won't let you forget... 
the smoothest sounding speaker
Aeriel 7Bs and Silverline Sonata IIs. I have owned them both, and didn't care for either of them. The Sonatas had a midrange coloration and the Aeriels sounded tight and closed in. Both average, but not exceptional speakers.Oz
