Sjofen The Clue speakers
He used the quick setup guide they provide. It is not meant to be optimal for every room. Read Croft's response in Rebbi's link. It aptly points out the ways the 'pile failed in this instance. And again, as a reviewer who somehow made it to Stereo... 
Sjofen The Clue speakers
I'm guessing you've not heard the speakers Onhwy61? Those are only some of the facts. The most relevant facts are that these speakers depend more than most on being set up properly for a given room, and that both buyers and reviewers are offered a... 
Silverline Minuet Supreme Plus...
The original Minuets provided one of the most surprising demos at an audio show I've heard. Fantastic little speakers. At that NYC show they were powered by Monarchy amps, SM70 maybe? The sound and imaging was absolutely stunning, and his source w...

Thanks for the link Rebbi. I found Croft's response particularly interesting and seemed to make perfect sense, as I guess it should since he designed the things. By contrast JA's comments didn't quite pass the smell test and have more than a hint ... 
Bel Canto dac 3.5VB vs 47 lab progression gemini
Hey Hindu, any update? 
Which receiver would be the best choice?
I believe B&K is out of business. You might want to take that into consideration. 
Sjofen The Clue speakers
Oddly indeed. That review runs counter to just about any assessment I've seen of these speakers, including mine. That the reviewer didn't reach out to the manufacturer given his negative experience, especially since these speakers are so placement... 
further to $ 2000. bookshelf speakers
Nola Boxer would be worth a look. Best of luck. 
Surge Protection Advice
Not sure what your budget is, but maybe a used Audience aR2p would be worth looking into although only has two outlets. If you need more outlets you could get a Wiremold L10320 power strip to plug into the aR2p without degrading sound or limiting ... 
Bookshelfs budget is $ 2000.
Think the Harbeth P3 ESR or Nola Boxer would be worth looking into. Both for sale here in your price range. Best of luck. 
What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
I'm pretty surprised someone was able to get JA Pearls for under 10 grand and is still looking for speakers. I'd be so done. 
Stereo Amp To Match With Magico V3s
Would be most helpful if you tell us what aspects of sound reproduction are most important to you. It would make for much more effective and reasoned recommendations. That said, I agree with Vitus recommendation but doubt you'll find a stereo amp ... 
Quad ESL 57 Midrange in a Box - New ATCs?
I think you'll find that midrange tough to match if it pushes your buttons. I'd stick with ATC if I were you as there's probably a good chance for disappointment with other brands especially in the midrange. From the reviews I've read it seems lik... 
Transparent Stereo From Surround Preamp/Processor
If stereo is important I see no reason to not have a stereo pre unless you physically can't fit one into your system. You can run the front L/R pre outs from the prepro into an HT bypass or spare input on the stereo pre and change between stereo a... 
cable reviews?
First I think you need to identify what in particular you'd like to improve with new cables. This would also help greatly with recommendations here by the way. Then use reviews to help narrow down your search to those products that tend to have th...
