Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Whoops I have to read more carefully, Sorry- The GE Reference has been mentioned, but not much discussion of its positives or negatives 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
Interesting that the Goldenear Reference gets no mention in the discussion. Full Range Class A rating in Stereophile, above many of those being considered in this discussion. Are the strong reviews from a couple of “elder statesmen of audio” -Tony... 
Amps for Paradigm Persona 3f
Gnason & jafant- thanks for the Anthem 225 recommendation. It would free up a good portion of my budget for power conditioning and cable upgrades.

Thanks “Dmance” From your other posts, it kind of looks like you moved up to the 5f & 9h fairly quickly (specifically the 9h- I envy your re$orce$).Did you get a fair idea of how the 3f performed with the LTA? They are really at the top of my ...

Contuzzi-How about the integrated? Thanks

The Anthem STR appears to be a bargain-potent amp, good DAC, with ARC. Are your STR integrated recommendations based on hearing them actually drive the Persona 3fs?Also thanks OEM for the advice on cabling. Any specific cables you recommend, or “w...

Looking for not too expensive Turntable
To me a new Music Hall MMF 2.2 or a Pro-ject Debut III from Music Direct, Audio Advisor etc. makes more sense. You’d have to step up $50 (both are $299), but you’d have a brand new table with the benefit of 40 years TT building experience. You obv...

Make that make that a cracked femur. 
Tom Petty: It was an "accidental" OD
It’s tough to beat opioids for severe pain. I don’t know Tom Petty’s particular situation. Sounds like he suffered from emphysema- may mean that he’s been on high dose steroids, (prednisone?), long term, to aid his breathing-which in turn can indu...
