Has anyone actually heard the Dali Epikore 11? Impressions welcome.
i have a pair made in 2020, so originals. Mine are powered by a c49 and pair of Mc611's and I don't hear any reason to change.  
Stereophile review of the $30,000 tekton speakers
I would love to demo a pair of Tekton speakers. I don’t know anything about the science of speakers, xover slopes, time alignment or any of that stuff manufacturers load their marketing pitch with, but I do know markup on speakers can be insanely ...

Yamaha NS 5000 w/ NAD M33
I take all reviews with a grain of salt. After going through over a half a dozen highly rated full range speakers I am firmly in the camp that believes the listening room makes the biggest difference when comparing speakers.
