Moving up from LSA Statement integrated
That's what I hear. But can I find an all tube integrated or even tube separates in the $4-5K range total that could match the Statement?

"Interestingly, If you read the few other posts on other threads 400 has responded to there seems to be no tell tell of English being difficult. Maybe he was a little lit when he started this."Interestingly enough, I did -- all two of them. And ye... 
What speakers for 10k?
I know you've been down on planar, but Maggie 20 or even 3.7 will keep you satisfied.

Wait. Shouldn't reviews in glossy, high circulation magazines generally be favorable anyhow?I see them as analogous to writing a recommendation letter. If I have nothing good to say, or if I have a lukewarm recommendation, I'll simply pass on writ...

The Stereophile reviewer in question admitted in his review that this was one of his first (if not the first) speaker review he has done. Sofjan's people lashed out in their rebuttal at the end of the issue, pointing out much of everything discuss...
