Vandersteen 2ce vs Vandersteen 2ce Signature II
Zedak , I would suggest go and listen to the New Vandersteen 2CE Sig II and take your amp with you. Ayre sounds fantastic with Vandersteen. If you like and can afford the the price , place your order on a nice new pair and enjoy! 
Vandersteen 2ce Sig II
I think you will be very happy with the Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum / Vandersteen 2ce SigII combination. 
What speakers should I consider around $5000?
Matt , I would second the Vandersteen Treo's or 3A Signature and Ayre Integrated. I recently spent a few days listening to this combination and felt it covered everything in the music spectrum from top to bottom. Vandersteen also goes well with tu... 
Room size & choosing speakers
Mksr , After reading your original post , It made me curious as to how your local dealer answered your question concerning room size with the 802D and associated equipment. What did they say when you asked this question? Since it is a local dealer... 
Vandersteen 2WQ
The Vandersteen 2WQ is a great sub. I am using The Vandersteen M5-HP crossover with my Conrad Johnson equipment into my Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grands/ 2WQ. Sounds great! I was able to blend the 2WQ very easy with my VA with the help from the M5-H... 
Vandersteen Treo in 24ftx22ft i.e 528sqft room?
I think the Vandersteen Treo would be fine for you. I would highly recommend giving Jonny R. a call at Audio Connection for some friendly advise on the Vandersteen line of speakers. 
Speaker placement for brightness control.
I also have hyperacusis and I agree with Lowrider57. Room treatment can help very much in taming the highs. Speakers with silk dome tweeters , tube amps that roll off the highs and speaker cables and interconnects (Cardas Golden Cross can really h... 
Never heard of Sound Projects Baltimore?
Thanks for the information on Sound Projects. Will have to check them out since I live in the Baltimore area! 
Conrad Johnson Upgrades - A difference maker?
Randy , I have not tried the upgrade myself., From what I heard , you would lose some of that CJ house sound that you are use to hearing. If you plan on having both amps serviced , you might want to have your capacitors replaced , but with the or... 
suggest an under $2000 amp to match 4ohm speakers
A used Conrad Johnson Stereo Amp would work fine with the Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand. I have these speakers and use Conrad Johnson with them. They blend very well together , very smooth and musical. 
ProAc Response D30R Floorstanding Speakers
$7999.00 Soft Dome $8500.00 Ribbon is rather pricey. I listened to the D40R ( which probably would be a good comparison for the D30R) and just loved the sound of these speakers with the ribbon tweeter. I was considering buying then until I heard t... 
ProAc Response D30R Floorstanding Speakers
It make take some time for these to filter into the dealers to be available to audition. I would like to hear what it sounds like myself and how it compares to the Response D Two and D28. 
No more delays for posts showing up?
I experienced the domain expired page also. It was very odd! 
Digital cable...
The price I quoted for a new Cardas Audio's Neutral Reference Digital $314.00 is for a 1 meter pair. $236.00 for .5 meter. 
Digital cable...
Cardas Audio's Neutral Reference Digital since you already like the Cardas brand.314.00 new , so used would fit in your price range. Plus. the cable would already be broken-in.
