Owners of speakers by obscure companies chime in
So how come Stereophile and Absolute Sound never review these products? 
Must Silverlines Boleros,specifically be biwired?
Absolutely! Well said. :-> 
Magico Minis with poor-quality CDs rock/pop
Thank you for that. Maybe it's just me, but Inever liked a speaker manufacturer to tell me myrecordings are not good enough for their speakers.Just my 2 cents...Thanks again. 
California Audio Labs Icon Mk II; NOT POWERBOSS
I had the non-powerboss version back in '95 and then had it upgraded with it. Never noticed any difference (thru Apogee Stages). Nice player. About as good as a Meridian508.24 that replaced it. Go for it. 
Must Silverlines Boleros,specifically be biwired?
Tvad, Thank for the post. Any thoughts on the Sonata vs. the Bolero?Thanks again. 
Speaker suggestions:long-wall, somewhat nearfield.
Well, the rear wall is a large window covered by light curtains. Thanks for the help. 
Stands for harbeth superHL5
Thanks Jim! It sounds like you, personally, are satisfied withthe Monitor30/Skylan combo. It is my understanding that the SHL5s benefit from whatever external factors add to bass control, meaning upstream equipment and their stands, so Iwas thinki... 
Next upgrade, DartZeel or Ayre
'heard DartZeel with VonSchweikert VR9s at the NY show a few years back. Very silky but full bodied, nicely dense mids and highs and angelic vocals, as I recall. If money was no object,they would be my choice. They are expensive boxes, though.

Harbeth SHL5 compared to Merlin VSM ?
About ATC, my configuration leads me to use passive, not active speakers. (Longish speaker cables, short, Stealth Indra ICs.) How are ATC passives or in passive mode, if they do that? Which models? Thank you. 
Stands for harbeth superHL5
Is there a sonic advantage to the 4-post Skylan standsvs. the equivalent Sound Anchors for the SHL5? Thanks in advance. 
Speaker suggestions:long-wall, somewhat nearfield.
Marty, thanks!Is the Peak C.E.'s bass well controlled and friendly?Thanks again. 
Review: Daedalus DA-1.1
I was just looking at the Daedalus site and he hasa new $4500 monitor, the DA-RMa that looks quite interesting,the design goal being no-fatigue but good imaging and tonality. Any thoughts from anyone (or Daedalus themselves)? Thanks. 
Speaker suggestions:long-wall, somewhat nearfield.
Thanks for the ATC suggestion. I will look at the line. 
Advice in packing Kharma 3.2s. Please help.
Yep, I did finally take a good look and found the manualand see how it works. Thanks again. (The hard part isslipping them into their crates... I don't think I'll everbuy a speaker again if it's packed in wooden crates.OMG, it's like fitting a gir...
