Speaker upgrade for classical music
Maggies!! for the money AMAZING. I can't believe I don't own a pair. 
Warm romantic & detailed
congrats. As much as I enjoy the way focal speakers present the midrange, where most of the music lives, i'm not that crazy about the bass... Been hearing lots of great things about harbeth lately.  
What 's the different between MDF and HDF ?
I think you should be able to find sheets of 1 1/4" thick 4'x8' if you shop around I've used it on commercial buildings as subfloor. sorry I don't remember the supplier. 
Sonus Faber Olympica III or Vienna Acoustics Lists
Win, win. SF has much better distribution so probably better support. Listening preference? Personally, I think peter gannaster hears exactly how I do. VA makes speakers I can’t pull myself away from. 
Veiled 'wet blanket' sound from tweeters
try try listening to the speakers in a small, say 3’x3’x3’ triangle with speakers center of room pointed directly at your head. Thats as close as you can practically get to replicating cans on and the direct sound should let you listen to tweeters... 
Kimber 4tc good enough?

Kimber 4tc good enough?
That's umm, how do you find the math for that? I will start with a heavy guage for the bass and keep the 4tc for top octaves bi wiring.

Another description for ‘current trend’ could be ‘revealing’ and I also have a pair of speakers that get very mixed reviews here because with lean components it’s way to much of a good thing, but I put the right integrated in the system and I’m ha... 
Opportunity
as far as upgrade goes its more of of a lateral move unless you really want the b&w.  
Kimber 4tc good enough?
I’ll take that as a yes. It appears kimber changed the line some so I’ll be buying used to get the same blue/black I use now. 
Kimber 4tc good enough?
I bought the 4tc over 30 years ago. I don't have the cable the dealer used in the demo I just find it cutious that he would say 'cables don't matter' while himself use some apparently serious stuff.When I bought a pair of salon 2's(used) I had lig... 
used speaker recommendations
I've noticed a trend to front and/or base ported speakers since the powers that be started marketing the daylights out of home theater. Price differences in speakers often comes down to bass output and SPL because to get both without audible disto...
