B&W - THE Nautilus.
If you like the Nautilus why not demo the latest derivations of these, Vivid Giya Series 2 or Kaya 90. The Kaya is under 30K new.I did not notice the poster above mentioned Vivid. I have demoed the Kaya 90 and it is a very good speaker.  
Whats on your turntable tonight?
This thread sure could use a LIKE button for each post. So much valuable DATA just not being used to their full potential. Come on Audiogon step it up with some new features to make this DATA into INFORMATION for users. 
Amps with meters ...
Does a digital meter, like on the Anthem STR count?

Paradigm Personas: A First Listen
@urbie19 Are the Monitor Audio also great with animal sounds? 
DAC plus Preamp or DAC-Preamp or DAC-Volume Control ?
@reverendo The Mola Mola Makua is an excellent option and maybe a real superstar. I have been participating on a thread on Computer Audiophile about the Makua for maybe 3 years now. We were all waiting for the Makua DAC module and/or the Tambaqui ... 
Paradigm Persona 3 vs 5 vs Monitor Audio
Putin is likely behind some of these posts. 
Advice on Krell amplifier
@fast If I had a Paradigm Persona I think I would favor the Krell XD. I am actually considering that scenario for the Persona 9H for my downstairs. I wanted to put in a KEF Blade in that same space but may not be able to due to the side woofers. I... 
What are you streaming tonight?
Paul Weller - Wild Wood (listened to this about 10+ times in the last 2 weeks). 
Paradigm 3f, KEF reference 3, Monitor Audio PL300II
@urbie19 Any number of speakers can be thought as better than any other speaker. Depends on your hearing ability, your musical tastes, ROOM, equipment, mood, etc.There is no best speaker for everyone, maybe best of for each person.  
Stereophile mistakenly writes Mytek Review as dCS
If I were to get a ESS Sabre DAC it would be from these guys, There is important back history why their ESS DACs sound so great. https://www.resonessencelabs.com/shop/invicta-mirus/ Though I am leaning towards a R2R Denafriphs Terminator DAC. 
Advice on Krell amplifier
I would have thought the dealer would have also recommended the Coda # 8 for the KEF Reference 5's. 
Will Internet Distroy High End ?
My take away also includes more options on the lower to mid price side that 20 years ago would have been considered top tier gear. 
Kef Blade or Kef Blade Two for bigger room
@blueskywalker How about posting a photo of your setup on the A'gon Virtual System. I am curious as to how much side space you have for those side woofers.
