Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound
Just curious if Holm had the Joseph Audio Prisms there?  I know they're a bit above your price range, but they may be worth a listen just for reference if nothing else.  Be interested in your thoughts if you ever get to hear them.  Also, if they h... 
Problems with Audio Engine Support
Recently bought a B2 for my brother and it's really very good.  But I had a question and when I called the message said they no longer support phone calls.  I got a fairly quick response from the email I sent, but when you're doing business primar... 
Best Interconnects from DAC to Integrated-under 300 used
What are you using now and what are you looking to improve upon with the new interconnect?  Best bang for the buck doesn't really give us anything to go on.  
Looking for my first tube amplifier, help appreciated.
If you're going to upgrade your whole system you should start with the speakers as they will largely dictate what your amp choices are.  
Speakers with warm treble and good bass
I'm very surprised at your impression of the Vandys.  I'd seriously question the setup and associated equipment if it was at a dealer.  Not what I associatiate with the Vandy 2s at all, although I'm sure you heard what you heard.  I'd give them an... 
Speakers with warm treble and good bass
Would’ve thought the Vandys would check all your boxes. What didn’t you like about them? Others to check out would be Silverline Prelude and Nola Boxer or a used pair of Joseph Audio RM7s if you can find them (my personal pick of the bunch FWIW). ... 
Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used
Although I agree with others that show conditions have tons of variables, the fact that you couldn't get the sound of the Raidhos out of your head I think carries a lot of weight.  That said, in your price range there are lots of other great optio... 
Best interconnects used for around $500 +?
What interconnects are you using currently and what specifically are you looking to improve upon? 
What happened to Berkeley Audio Design
If you have a question about a given audio manufacturer in the future, I'd have a couple suggestions:1.  Don't make your headline sound like the company's dead.  Most audio manufacturers -- even the good ones -- are operating on a very low margin ... 
Looking for an upgrate from Cronus Magnum
I was going to recommend the Dialogue HP but you beat me to it.  Interesting comparison to the CM and awesome that you had a dealer nearby with such great choices and that you got to try it at home.  Congrats and enjoy! 
Best Small Floorstanding Speaker under $2K
Couple pairs of Soliloquy 5.3s for sale here now.  Small footprint, attractive, great imaging, and enough bass that you won't miss a sub.  And they're under $900/pr.  Best of luck. 
Need thoughts RE-Best Universal for my High end audio and TV, video etc.
I'm still using a URC remote from 30 years ago and it still works flawlessly.  I've recommended them to friends over the years and their experience is similar and they are thrilled with their remotes as well.  I did a little looking and it looks l... 
Advice on a Used speaker, Budget $4500
FYI, a nice pair of SC IVas recently came up for sale in the Houston area $800 under your price target.  
Advice on a Used speaker, Budget $4500
There is a pair of Vandersteen Quatros for sale here now in your price range if you can't find the Dunlavys you're looking for.  Pretty close to full range with built-in powered subs so shouldn't be too taxing on your amps I'd think.  Excellent mi... 
Acoustic Treatment of 'Unique" Room
If it's in your budget maybe try something like the Dspeaker Anti-Mode 2.0 Dual Core.  It will probably help with your 55Hz issue and maybe some others as well.
