REVEL performa3 f208 or TEKTON Moab
I like the f208, big sound, big stage and $5k with an inoffensive tweeter. win 
Rockport owners.
I read a review where the writer was comparing his Rockports to a similarly priced competitor. he went on gushing about the 4'' front baffle, and rock solid imaging the rockports excelled at and the exquisite build and finish. I'm a believer in so...

Speaker upgrade
If I could make the commitment to buying speakers blind with a checkbook big enough match components later or say an additional $25k for components it would be easy to choose speakers. I've been thru a few and am enjoying a couple now 1 passive an... 
Looking for some new floor standing speakers
The ones I suggested dsp5200 is an active dsp 2 1/2 way so does have a bass advantage for similar size passive cabinets. The esotar 2 tweeter is probably better than the seas unit in the meridian but similar in character.At $5k you are looking for...

just had a brain storm. Call Jim Salk and describe what you got and what you want and see what he has to offer. 
Just received my new Dynaudio Contour 60i in walnut
congrats, I liked the c60 for the 2 songs the shop manager let me listen to. I’m only a half hour away from the Dynaudio distribution warehouse and actually picked up a pair of audience 80’s there since I didn’t want to wait for the delivery lol. 
Looking for some new floor standing speakers
The C60's were selling for $5800 recently on usam. that would cure your need for more bass. The appeal of the persona's is how tight the speakers are, top to bottom they sound like perfection. or more like the source. Pick yourself up a used pair ... 
Speaker upgrade
I've decided speakers are like motorcycles there is no single do it all, too many compromises. My previous system had 2 pair of speakers  the R105/3 ROCKED, could sustain 114 db with very low distortion and detailed enough to hear the singers brea...

Persona 9h vs S3 mk 2
if the 9h were selling for the price of the pair recently posted which was less than the 5f retails for absolutely. Suppose I wait for the 20% sale and the 7f is $20k while the 9h is $28k. The speakers dimensions and drivers are identical so I’m p... 
are 4000$ /pr speakers today better than $4000/pr speakers from mid to late 1990's?
My kef r105/3 circa 1990 listed for $3500.  Played flat 50-15k 3” Thick front baffle, 93 dB eff, excellent dispursion and went LOUD. Detail, soundstage and imaging still benchmark. I would have to spend 4 times as much for the same product today a... 
Focal Kanta 2 vs Revel F228Be
see if you can get a listen to the A5 so you can compare them for us. 
Focal Kanta 2 vs Revel F228Be
I like the mids and highs from the kanta's but not much bass, the revels I think I would consider for a HT system but tbh I wouldsn't spend that much on ht. I agree that at $10k these aren't the best speakers available and scratched them off my li... 
Filling speaker cavities with cat litter
I didn't this question was asked in 2002, but I would suggest you use sand as it's less likely to absorb moisture and will be easier to remove.
