Focal Kanta Sale
condition has a lot to do with used prices. 
Which one? Paradigm persona 3f, Revel Studio2, Audiosolution Figaro L, Goldenear reference
Listened to the persona's with a pathos integrated driving them and really recommend anyone curious about either piece to listen to them together.  
Ive recieved an offer for my set of Aerial 7T speakers of $700.00. Should I accept?
The 7B in good shape is around 15 years old now and retailed around $4k depending on finish? Still should hold out for $1000. 
How many speaker companies?
I have the last Stereo magazine directory listing all the manufacturers and their lineup, I believe around 1990 there was nearly 500 listed companies making complete loudspeakers. must have been an off day when I decided to count all the listings! 
Really Satisfied With The Music Room's Service
I have no worries about buying from tmr. I do wish they used full color photos tho.

I had the Salon2 but my little 250/425 wpc int couldn’t really get them woofers woofin. I just went through a bunch of speakers in the salon2 price range and they were all really good, but you’re going to have to decide what is the most important ... 
Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000
The problem for me is after I spend $10k on speakers I got nothing left to match components. Many companies getting into active speakers and the ones ive heard sound better than the passive version. 
Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000
Listening to The Black keys ‘turn blue’ on a pair of meridian dsp 8000’s I got used for around $10k and I haven’t heard better for the same money. 
Good Speaker within a budget of USD10,000
When I went shopping for speakers with $10,000 I got some salon2’s and usher be20dmd’s and for my Hegel h360 the ushers were better, although I think the salons may have a higher ceiling if I could have matched them with a $$$$ amp. There was a pa...

When I built a system to a price around 2000-02, around $10k total I bought the Krell kav300il first then patiently visiting all the local shops, 5 I think I brought home 2 pair at a time from Saturday til Monday and it was really helpful. I had t...

The tweeter in the studio is great and that speaker is supposed to be easier to drive than the salon2. I owned a few revels and for some reason prefer the earlier models to the f22-be? The sopra 2 and persona 3f would probably sound more different... 
The best looking speakers
Not that I can afford them but the raidho d1.2  
What creates the effortlessness in sound reproduction?
In tune, fast bass, dynamic and distortion free are my best guess  
Paradigm Persona 5F
I struggle with a previous Kef owner liking the persona's. Being infatuated sure, even awestruck for a couple hours, but there's no comparison in how the speakers are voiced and i'm not saying one is better than the other, just different design go... 
Thiel 3.6 or KEF 105/3
Kef R105/3 isn't your typical brit speaker. 93.5 eff, Loud and dynamic. flat to 50 hz with no distortion. The problem I had with mine was sibilance with average components and they don't have the bump at 100 hz most speakers do so in comparison th...
