Thinking of Kef Blade 2 to replace Revel Salon 2
I heard the KEF Blade 2 at RMAF and LOVED them.  As a matter of fact. I told my wife who also heard them that  they were the first speaker I have heard that would make me want to sell my GE Triton References for.  I liked that it wasn't as ruthles... 
Former Tekton owners: What have you moved on to?
If it were I, I would be looking at the GE Triton 1 or the Vandersteen Treo CT. 
I have question about frequency response and power issues
Sounds like you need a preamp, as you are probably clipping the cd player 
What phono preamp would be good for a Dynavector Karat 17D3?
Get yourself a nice SUT and run through the phono input.  No need to get another phono pre as the one in the Cronus magnum is pretty good. 
How can I connect bananas to Wilson speakers?

Oppo Ceasing production
From August 2017  up to today, I bought 8 new pieces of equipment.  This is a dying hobby and when all of us old geezers (I'm 64) go, the High End will die with us.  Case in point:  I offered to give my son (36 years old) a high end integrated amp...

Oppo Ceasing production
Perhaps their financial backers pulled the plug on the operation.  I am quite sad because I was planning on buying a 205 later this year. to replace my Sony BD player which is at least 12 years old.

What position is your balance control set at and why?
On my secondary system, I sit off to the side of the speakers and the right speaker is twice the distance of the left speaker.  For that reason, I have the balance control turned 1db more towards the right speaker.  It gives me perfect balance. 
Anyone lives in Maryland and surrounding areas would let me audition your Pendragon ?
I had a pair of Pendragons a few years ago, didn’t like them and it cost me $295.00 to send them back. I learned a very expensive lesson. BTW, they sucked in my room with very expensive equipment. The bass was totally non-existent.
