Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
Laughing at myself for wanting the Wilson Audio clones, but the ability to get more for your money with kits is real, not laughing at that!  Good day

...to clarify or build on a couple points above:. Let me not apologize for substantially sized speaker cabinets.  In a big room you will appreciate some big speakers.   Next, I just watched a video from Danny Richey (GR Research).  He told the s... 
Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!!
@jjss49  I like your comment.  I don't really need the BEST, but makes for a good title, ha! basically was asking if everybody knows if one type is better than another, I could eliminate the other from consideration.  I would probably not spend ...

I have extensive listening experience with Klipsch Forte II. If you like rock music they are AMAZING.  They would fill a large room with NO problem.  I have them setup in my father's barn (about the size of a 4 car garage with peaked roof and ope... 
Digital Interconnects - Which one is the BEST ??!!
if there is no general consensus, that is good, i keep doing whatever i am doing now. What i was afraid of - IF I WAS TRYING TO A_B test two components, using coax on one and optical on the other - i didn't want one of the components to have an a...

@sns  do the Toslink and Optical Fiber both use the same port ?  
PS Audio CD Transport - fun story!
So, remote control has arrived !  not really any new information.   i might say the PS sounds better than the Marantz but i also might be imagining it, the difference is slight !     who knows ?!  But the PS does sound very good.  definitely wor... 
HELIOS Speaker Kit
@milostyn In general, you are correct, but I am hoping there is MAGIC in this design that defies rational explanation!  :).  Designer has stated the distortion is so low on this speaker that he could barely measure it - like he has never seen bef... 
HELIOS Speaker Kit
Trigger pulled !  Money is where my mouth is !  Helios kit on order !      
HELIOS Speaker Kit
@mijostyn  I agree with you, but I don't have to match the bass output of the old ones. if the Helios is better, or as good as my originals in 3 or 4 important categories, falls a bit short in the bass, but is still impressive for it's size, I w... 
HELIOS Speaker Kit
Speakers now are Thiel CS 2_2 and Maggie LRS, which I am sure will be displaced by the Helios.  Historically, up until a month ago, I had home-built monsters that I designed along with some help from Madisound for the crossover.  Dynaudio soft dom...

You asked to compare my suggestion to Golden Ear Aon3. Note: this is only from reading reviews, albeit with a bit of speaker wisdom applied, ha! Golden Ears are great for their price and for their size.  You can't go wrong. They might have an a...

I think we are suggesting used because we want you to be amazed with what you could get for the $1000. Another way would be a KIT! I would imagine CSS AUDIO CRITON 1TD-X kit speaker with the standard crossover for $934 would be difficult to beat...

Do you place a higher value on Bass and dynamics, or vocal clarity and accuracy?  
Need Recommendations for a pair of Speakers around $1,000
You should probably define what you want them to Sound like, what type of music you listen to most often, and how loud do you want to turn them up.  Also, how large can the boxes (cabinets) be and still be acceptable? You are going to get a hundr...
