Speakers for large open room
You could try the new JMLABS Chorus 836 V.Sphere.

Comparison of $11,000 - $15,000 reference speakers
If you have a large room,you should consider the Cadence Arca. In the entire Cadence line up, only the Arca should be looked at seriously. 
Anyone familiar with the Manger driver?

High End Integrated Choices
True.it has a smaller version coming in called the Di100.Worth a cheskout. 
Overkill Audio Encore...

Favorite Tube Speaker Match
Actually the perfect driver is one which combines the best tonal aspects of both schools.One such driver is the Gorlich from Germany.Amazing tone and speed. 
High power integrated suggestions please.
All of these amps will pale infront of the Di150 from Gamut Audio.I have heard this amp humble pre power combos from Krell,Macs,Jeff Rowlands,Musical Fidelity and a host of others.It has a presentation that is totally neutral and lacks any aspect ...
