It looks like I will have the Little Hiro tomorrow.  I was originally going to have them today, however, I bumped delivery a day as my wife and I were out of town. I’m really looking forward to getting ears on these.

The gentleman that originally recommended the Elites,has tried the the cheaper versions.  He strongly recommended that these were not worth trying.  I’m only going by what was relayed to me.  I chose not to try them. YMMV.   
Which LS3/5a?
I own a pair of Graham Chartwell LS3/5. (Not A) wonderful speakers.  On that note, I do not believe you can make a bad choice, as long as said speakers are functioning properly.  Enjoy the magic!

Thank you so much Morris.  My reasoning behind choosing the Little Hiro is the size of my main listening room. It’s only 9x13x8.   I had the opportunity to pick up a pair of Hon Hiros,but ultimately I think the smaller speakers are a better fit. T...

@shinjitsuaudio, thank you so much for your feedback.  I think maybe the term comparison is a bit misleading in my situation.  This will not be a winner take all event. I am hoping that I fall for the Little Hiro’s.  I run three,now four different...

These speakers have piqued my curiosity for a while. I just worked out a deal for a pair of Little Hiro. I really enjoy trying things off of the beaten path. It will be interesting to hear how these perform in comparison to my Hornshoppe Great Hor... 
Which preamp to go with pass labs x150.8
+2 for Aric Audio. As I’m typing,I’m listening to Aric’s Motherlode II,and a First Watt J2.  I find the combination pure magic.       
What is the forums opinion of SVS subs?
I haven’t listened to any REL subs. A few months ago,I was looking to upgrade my aging HSU subs. I had my initial search down to Rythmik, REL, and SVS.  A deal for two SVS SB2000 pro’s popped up that I simply could not walk away from.  My take is ...

The speaker that was reviewed by Terry looks very similar to Ed Schillings Great Horned Heil.  The newer models now use a horn,and the heil is gone.  I do find the Shinjitsu speakers very intriguing.    
I’m about to push the button to get 2 SVS 3000 micros to add to ATC SCM40s.
A few months ago I picked up two SVS SB2000 pros.  Integration was pretty easy. I’m really pleased with the performance.

@markusthenaimnut, that is very interesting question.    Ray   
Where do you want your system to go when you go?
Don’t know.  I won’t be around. My wife will probably just give everything away.   
Great service from HSU Research
That’s great to hear.  I’ve heard of other manufacturers that won’t touch their older gear.  I have three older HSU subs that are still alive and kicking.
