Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion
I received the Tanto v1 speakers last Thursday. They weigh about 76lbs each unpacked. I listened to them for about 2 hours total and so far I am very impressed. The bass is very good (easily betters the Merlin VSM-M with BAM) The top is very exten... 
Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion
I read good reviews on the lft 8b. I am just not to sure about planer, electrostatic and ribbon speakers as being dynamic. Some that I've heard have a narrow sweet spot. The Tantos have a huge sweet spot (so I've read) and pretty good dynamics. Ac...

I just purchased Gemme Audio Tanto v1. They should arrive next Wednesday. I can't wait. I will report back. 
Accutron DIY projects?
zalytron.com may. They carry Accuton drivers. 
Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion
Maybe I am a little afraid of horns. I heard some sub $1k Klipsch years ago and they just screamed at me. Never got any closer to see if they image great or not.I am also looking at Gemme Audio Tanto and AAD 2003. These are getting some good revie... 
Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion
There isn't any Aeriel 8B for sale. They seem to be hard to come by. I haven't found any specs. yet, but a few good reviews.I am ruling out horn and single full range driver speakers. My amps are ready to drive some power hungry speakers. Not that... 
Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion
I am not familiar with the 8b's I'll need to look into them too. I am also tossing around Gershman Acoustics Sonogram speakers and Reimer Wind River. My Tyler Linbrook Sigs are like these and may resemble their sound. I was considering Legacy Focu... 
Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion
I've never considered horn loaded speakers. I'm gonna have to give a listen.My class D UCD module amps were built by Rick at EVS. 350wpc into 8 ohms and 700 into 4. They are smooth. I had Ampzilla's, Melos MAT-180 and a Karan amp. The monos I now ... 
Used speakers for $3k? Oh the confusion
Trying everything possible would be the way to go. I don't have any friends into audio like I am into it. Maybe some retail stores in Philly. I always had a fondness for Dynaudio speakers. This is why I purchased the VSM-M. Those Esotar tweeter we... 
Reasonably Priced PreAmp without Phono ?
I've never heard a Krell preamp.Your request doesn't state a price or a solid state or tubed preference.FWIW, I'll through out my opinion. An Audio Mirror T-61 remote tubed line stage. I have the next model up that also includes a phono stage. The... 
sub+satellite or full range?
IMHO I prefer the sub sat. Something like a Proac Response 1SC and a Rel sub. I had the original response 1s and loved them with my Velodyne servo 1200 subs. I sold them and experimented with a few high end speakers ie. built some North Creek Rhyt...

CD/SACD/DVDa player for new system
I was in your same spot a few months ago. Get the NAD T-585. It is available on this site for $500.00. I purchased on and I am blown away. I've compared it to separates costing over $3k and I like it better. I haven't even tried DVD-A or SACD yet.... 
Is there a killer preamp for 1500?
Audio Mirror PP1 or Joule Electra LA-100 Mk3 research both of them. I have the Audio Mirror was going to buy the Joule. I went with the PP1 because it was less money.
