Tubes to solid state for amplifier path...
I sold my Pass X250.5 and bought a pair of Channel Islands D-200 mono's. I don't notice any difference in the sound. I do notice a difference in my electric bill, and how cool they run in the summer. 
What speakers to get? Focal or B&W
If you're looking at Focals, take a look at the Twin 6 BE's. I have a pair in my recording studio and brought them in to my living room to try them with my stereo. They sound incredible and are active to boot so you would save $$$ on amplification. 
Any new up & coming high end speaker lines?

SP Tech Timepiece 3.0-Dynaudio C1 comparison?
Rja, I have a pair of 3.0's on order. I am only aware (through a post in another forum) of one other pair that are actually in the hands of a lucky owner (I don't know him). As of now, there are no dealers who have any in stock that I know of, so ... 
We have a Winner -- Major "MINI" monitors

Speed Controllers - How do they work?

Where to get protective cups for under spikes?

Macintosh vs Pass labs
I had a 402 and sold it when I tried the 250.5. The Pass had WAY more authority, muscle, and clarity from top to bottom. The Mac sounded "soft". My speakers at the time were VR-4Jr. 
bookshelf or floorstander
My room is exactly 12x15 and I just sold my VS VR-4SRmk2 in favor of a 2-way stand mounted monitor. The VS sounded great, but I had to load up my room with massive bass traps to control the low end. Even then, I wasn't getting the best sound I kne...

I Ordered a Pair of SP Tech Speakers
Oops, Maybe I should clarify that statement and say that there's not many competitors with waveguide technology.

Trsando, The prices are listed on the SP Tech website (www.4sptech.com). As far as competitors, I'm not sure there are any. 
I Ordered a Pair of SP Tech Speakers
There's more info available on the Audio Circles website. There's a forum for SP Tech speakers there. Apparently some guys over there are planning on having a speaker party of sorts with a number of lesser known buy highly rated monitors. There's ...
