What speakers use SEAS or SEAS-sourced drivers?
Don't ask me how I found this buried thread. 
Tad CR1's or Blade 1's
without knowing the room it's a bit presumptive to assume his taste,no?  
Focal Aria 948, Revel F208, Tekton Double Impact
My experience with revel speakers is the more power the better. Watts are cheap these days so if you choose the f208 a couple hundred wpc should get those woofers pumping. All 3 that you mention can sound really good, but as you say your room migh... 
Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2
I got to hear the kii3 with their bass modules at axpona last spring and if audiophiles ever accept dsp's Into the club I expect them to be keepers

I landed a pair of DSP8000’s upgraded to’se’ that so far have made everything else I’m listening to sound like speakers. So today I’m happy I need to send the 8k's in for service and don't know how long i'll be without so i'm looking for a pair to... 
Thoughts about the Magico A3, Revel Salon2/ Studio2
i started with the revel f52 then the salon 1, surprisingly a lateral move sonically, then the salon 2 that I would have probably kept if I could have gotten decent bass from, I’ve learned since selling the salon2 that other owners had similar exp...

BUMP, Shopping in the $10k range and found this thread. As to the Harman listening test. I would put more stock in it if I listened in mono. Recent events might have someone skeptical like myself think KR is on the HK staff what with the glowing r... 
Amp upgrade for Contour 60's
I have a hegel H360 and am considering a pair of contour 60's. If anyone's heard the combo I would appreciate impressions. 
Advice on whether speaker upgrade is in order
Why don't you listen to what the latest 803 sounds like. You're used to the B&W sound so anything else will probably sound off to you, although it wouldn't hurt to get out and listen to whats new from a few different companies. 
Best bass in Earth! Bass that just smells right...
You guys are single aren’t you? 
Dynaudio Audience 8
The contour used the esotar 2 tweeter. I demoed the audience 80 at home for a week (think A82 with a rear facing port) and They were good speakers at their price, but there's no free lunch and the tweeter in the audience line isn't as resolving as... 
BEST SPEAKERS AT A REASONABLE PRICE
You like Klipsch stay with them. 
Wide dispersion speakers for a large room
Revel is notorious for wide dispersion with their waveguide tweeters. but you would need at least the f208 to get decent tone balance in that room. Buy used.Another option is 2nd hand powered speakers from a company like Dynaudio that have a rep f... 
Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
I find marshmallows provide the perfect cushion for the cables 
Forever speakers around $5000
I never paid attention to meridian speakers or any of their gear because the prices are stupid expensive... New, used the stuff is affordable and there’s something to be said for dsp speakers. Meridian is Brit and has the traditional brit sound an...
