Reynaud Bliss Jubile vs Cantabile Jubile
You'll have to hope your brain "breaks in" to the sound ;-) Best of luck! (I've liked the various JMR speakers I've auditioned).  
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  I've always wondered how the Devore Super Nines would compare to my Joseph Audio Perspectives.  They are almost the same size/design.

Thanks 70seradylan.   Seems like we hear things very similarly.      
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
  fsonicsmith, Oh yeah, I never indicated I wanted to get anything else.  I've done my search, as this thread attests :-) It's just a question of whether I upgrade the Josephs vs grab some o/Baby speakers.  My mindset has been mostly upgrading ... 
Thiel Owners
  Off to see Bill Thalmann?  Cool.  I was in touch with Bill about the possibility of upgrading my CJ amps.  I ended up going another way but I still may send him mine someday for a V-Cap upgrade.

  I went on a gear-selling binge this last couple of years, the funds go in to my "audio equipment account" for future purchases.  I'd sold my last available gear that I would part with, leaving me with some funds.  They have been earmarked for s...

@70seradylan    I'm curious about what other speakers you've compared with the Devore O/baby. What stuck out about the Devores that you liked best?  
Boenicke
  I wonder what about the design (choices) make the Boenicke speakers such a demanding speaker to power.  ??  
Hyperacusis. Looking for recommendations
  I used to love going to movies.  Unfortunately the combo of getting hyperacusis and the stratospheric sound levels that became common, mostly ruled that out. Especially for the big tent action flicks. I can put in heavy duty ear plugs which a... 
Magico A3 vs. Wilson SabrinaX
I auditioned the A3s (associated electronics were Lyngdorf integrated and very high end cables) in my search for a new pair of speakers. I found them to sound dark, closed in, lacking air and sense of space, with boomy bass. They lacked life and ... 
Hyperacusis. Looking for recommendations
tiggerfc I can emphathize with your plight. For decades I've suffered from occasional debilitating bouts of hyperacusis. That last time was only about 3 years ago when low flying jets at an air show straffed low over head (I wasn't attending th... 
Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+
  The JAs allow quite a wide spread, yet you still get good imaging. One time I put them almost entirely to the sides of my room and the soundstage was ridiculously massive, and still good imaging.  Putting both speakers too close to the side wa... 
Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+
  I've mentioned that the Harbeth have a bit more natural "texture" vs the Joseph speakers (which are super smooth).  I've found that my CJ tube amplification, especially my CJ preamp, gives a bit more body and cut-through-the-air texture to the ... 
Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+
arafiq How happy where you with the soundstage DEPTH on the Harbeth? As I've said before, that was probably the biggest deficit when I had them.  For some reason their soundstage was shallower than pretty much any speaker I've owned, things "pul... 
Joseph Audio Perspective2 vs Harbeth SHL5+
ryder, I actually liked the bass of the Harbeth SHL5+ It's true it doesn't "slam" like you might get from some other speakers, and if someone demands more impact and engagement in the bass it may not be for them. But for me it's strength was ho...
