Higher Efficiency Speakers
Wow. Maggies, Devores. Spatials... you can't go wrong with any of them! Still, something not too large. Maybe the Spatial M3 TriodeMaster - 93db @12 ohms.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
@reubent - T4E is a difficult listen for me. It was right before Neil's tragedies (which ultimately focused him and his lyrics) and the album is cluttered and confused. RTB is a phenomenal album; I remember it making quite a splash when it came ou... 
Spatials = Done for now!
@jhills   I've owned and loved the Maggie 3.6Rs. The Spatials seem to present a more focused attack than the Maggies, though that could be because of their smaller size. Either one is a winner, though.

@slaw Yes, that 45 pressing. It's phenomenal. I was hearing instruments and effects on "Why Worry" I'd never heard before.

^^^^^ +1Seriously. It's this kind of audio snobbery which gives, I guess, any hobby a bad name among those who might not be fully invested in it – and among those who are.i'm sure the crew over at Ohm would love to hear you speak at great length a... 
Totem Hawks - my impressions
Beautiful speakers. A step above the Arros and just complete sounding. Totem might get maligned as being major-market, but their speakers are incredibly engineered and voiced.  
Turntables
+1 for the Lehmann Black Cube. That's a phono stage that performs drastically ahead of its price point.  
No right channel in new cartridge
Call the police? For what criminal or civil charges? This guy's aggro. Let PayPal handle things. They almost always side with buyer.  
Lifelong Neil?
I love Neil Peart!  
Spatials = Done for now!
Agreed. Shocker how Smith seems to know what he's talking about. I haven;t tried the whole mirror-angle technique, but I take to heart his advice for triangulation, listening height, and speaker pitch. It works no matter what speakers I'm adjustin...
