Anybody with Stewart FireHawk Screen?
Looks like we've got a Da-Lite user. Most likely I'll be in your club ~! I agree that prices for FireHawk screens are just too expensive. Anyway good things don't come cheap.I'll be looking at the Da-Lite Tensioned Cosmopolitan Electrol. 
Anyone has a Sonus Faber Grand Piano + REL combo?
I have the Grand Pianos, and we are using the same speaker cables too in the Nordost Blue Heavens. The interesting bit is that I am also contemplating of getting a sub in a couple of months time and most probably will be an Adire. Need to get thos... 
Nordost Blue Heaven to SPM Reference
S23chang,Geez this is getting far more complicated than I thought. I've actually posted a thread in the amp section on getting the 4B ST. There's no doubt on the capabilites of the D130 but I am guessing that the Bryston will suit my system better... 
Nordost Blue Heaven to SPM Reference
I'm not selling the Grand Pianos as they are great speakers both sonically and aesthetically. I have sold my Classe CAP-100 integrated earlier as it doesn't have the power to make the Grand Pianos sing. I am now using ARC D130 to drive the speaker...

need more smoothness
You quoted:"the salesman said that the amp and speakers are the most important components, not the source"Although it may be quite true but the the salesman is definitely not talking to an audiophile point of view and may well be flamed for his wo... 
need more smoothness
You are using low-end budget components with your CDM 1NT and that's why you're getting a 'hard' sound. I have the CDM 1SE for 5 years(they are now used as rears in HT) and have upgraded my amplification from Arcam to Classe and then to Audio Rese... 
Dynaudio Contour 1.3 , 1.3mkII & 1.3se
Your question probably doesn't attract much attention since there isn't much difference if you use any of those speakers that you've mentioned for your rears. Personally I would go for the cheapest one if on a tight budget.
