Kef reference 3
How can a company that designed the Blade come up with anything as lame as the current Reference line? I always appreciated kef's fearlessness in letting their experiments move them forward. $13k for 2x6.5 aluminum woofers in a box? that latest un... 
knck, knock.
Are you talking about the waveguide thing? tighten it. 
Kimber 4tc good enough?
I don't have a problem with the 4tc blue/black so i'll just find an old pair of 8tc to biwire the bass. easy solution. 
Metal cabinet speakers

Advise before I regret
I brought the studio 100 circa 2004 home and was pretty disappointed with the resolution tho they did the job I found them boring. The newer models have a rep for being a bit tipped up so maybe you’ll like it better.  
Anyone ditch the sub after large speaker purchase?

I Was Considering Active, Then I Watched This ...
There's a couple pair of meridian dsp's listed. The 5200 for under $4k and the dsp 7200 which has a pretty heroic cabinet build for under $9k. The meridians are british and are on the polite side of neutral regarding the top end, but bass is full ...

Speaker upgrade for classical music
Maggies!! for the money AMAZING. I can't believe I don't own a pair. 
Warm romantic & detailed
