Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions
Hi There,That's a good idea, I will list them below. However please note that the Bryston *MAY* be sold. If the speakers are efficient (which I think all the candidates are) I may get a pair of Shanling SP-80 Class-A monoblocks to partner with my ... 
Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions
hi there,Rsbeck: the 803's would still be too expensive. The GR-60s and F30s I can get are dealer demos at a greatly reduced price. The 803s even second hand are out of budget. Also as I said before, unfortunately you cannot compare prices here to... 
Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions
Hi There,Well the N803's are out of the question. They are way out of my budget. As I stated earlier, unfortunately prices vary tremendously from US/EU countries so some products cost roughly the same as overseas and some cost as much as double (d... 
Will this amp suffice?
Hi There,I currently have 2 options which I need to decide on, perhaps you can help with the decision. I am downscaling from B&W Matrix 801 S3's, and the main thing I want is to ONLY downscale and not downgrade in terms of quality. I cannot un...

Thanks for the input guys!I actually may be able to get a pair of Audes Blues at a reasonable price within my budget. How would you compare the Audes Blues to the others such as the Monitor Audio and the Sonus Faber Grand Pianos??Thanks!X 
Speaker Choice: Narrowed down, need final opinions
Hi There,I am using the system only for stereo and not HT, and have read in many threads that the newer GP Home's are geared more toward HT, and the older ones better suited to 2-channel. Have you found this perhaps to be the case? Also like I sai... 
Suggestions: Sonus Faber, Monitor Audio, Elac etc?
Hi There,Like I said the other are NOT available here due to limited range. Have you hear those 3 speakers I mentioned (SF Grand Piano, Monitor Audio, Elac)? Anything you picked up which may play a decisive role?Thanks,CL 
Monitor Audio GR-60: biwire cable ok?
Hi There,I definitely will audition then. I thought that the only difference between GR-60 and GR-20 was the extra bass driver? Are there other major sonic differences other than the superior bass extension of the 60's?Thanks for the help!PS. I th... 
Monitor Audio GR-60: biwire cable ok?
Thanks for the info!I have been looking for a while now for a midsize floorstander. I am on quite a restricted budget and there is also limited choice here in South Africa. I recently came across to very good deals which two dealers I know persona...
