Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
You have me there since I'm not familiar with horns I can't speak on the progress. Does the first LaScala sound the same as one bought today? if so I really should have stocked up as prices have gone up x10. 
What used speakers raraely come up for sale
Kef R107-R107/2 sell quickly in my area when priced right. Revel f series also seldom come up. 
Your Side by Side Experience With Best Vintage vs Newer Expensive Hi Tech Speakers
I have kef 107/2, revel salon1's and Salon2's all we're sota in their day. I think tweeters have come the farthest and if you listen to the speakers I have you will pick the newest one every time. If you throw in cost tho vintage gear can still co... 
Speaker recomendation
Personally I don't care much for Klipsch but the Klipschhorns would sound great and the amp you have would probably drive it fine, just make sure you put them in the corners. I can recommend the speakers that I use, but I hate it when people do th... 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
I left the spikes at the place I bought them and haven't been in a rush to pick them up because i'm having so much fun moving them around! I never had a speaker pair that made such an impact with movement. my Salon1's sounded so good with hegel th... 
Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000
I recently asked the same question and demoed many speakers and bought a pair of Revel salon2's used for a bit over $10k, BUT my room is 18x26x7 and it absorbs bass. I had several other favorites for a smaller room.Focal Kanta2 $10kDynaudio Contou... 
What are the best entry level integrated amps and speakers?
A used anthem 225i is a 2 channel 225 wpc int you can find for around $1000 and it's pretty neutral. 
KEF Reference 107/2 v 207/2
I have the R107/2 also and while I haven't heard the 207/2  I've heard the speaker that tied it for stereophile speaker of the year the Salon2 and i brought my 107/2 down to do a side by side and in comparison to modern SOTA  there was no comparis... 
Scansonic MB 3.5 review
bump. Are these the 'affordable' Raidho's? how do they compare side by side? 
Hegel H360 vs Separates
I have an h360 driving a pair of salon2's and think sometimes if I win the lotto i'll buy the h30 (used) and use my h360 pre and dac. 
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
Congrats! I was shopping in the $10k price range for a 26x18x7 room and as much as I liked the Kanta2 I thought they were too small to hold together at Rockin' spl's. I also listened to the contour 60 and while it was a brief demo they were very n... 
Hegel + Raidho
BUMP; My h360 breathed life into my salons when I swapped the parasound A21 out for it, surprising as the power ratings are identical into 8 and 4 ohms, so for fun I carried my R107/2's down to see what magic the Hegel would do and maybe because I... 
Revel Ultima Salon 2
Can anyone tell me the thread size of the salon2's spikes?  
DynAudio Contour 60 vs Paradigm Persona 7F
I heard the c60 and the 5f and it's pretty nice having first world problems :) I think it will depend on the music and QUALITY of recordings as the esotar2 tweeter has a rep for being a bit more forgiving. My money would be the C60 and your room s... 
Focal Aria 936 vs Flectra 1028BE
Congrats, Those speakers will last you a lifetime! they're a bit unforgiving to average recordings but not harsh or bright like I considered all the jmlabs/focal of 10-15 years ago.
