Joseph Audio Pulsar2 vs dynaudio confidence 20 vs tad-me1
It would depend on the room size. For my small room I was considering the TAD ME1 with Luxman. A great combo and not lean at all. Only reason I had a change of heart is that TAD raised the price again from $10K to $15K. That kind of stuff don't wo... 
Abbey Road 50th Anniversary
My room is acoustically treated with GIK panels. My Virtual System has photos. Prior to the panels I had difficulty listening to albums like Siamese Dream from the Pumpkins. A lot of bass on that. After the treatment no problem, even at high volum... 
Abbey Road 50th Anniversary
I noticed the bass bloat on my KEF LS50;s of all speakers. Hurt my ears on a few early tracks. I will stick with the other pressing on Tidal. 
High value, giant killer speakers?
Thiel CS 3.7  KEF Blade If I had the option I would take these 2 speakers over speakers that I have heard costing $75K+. Rather happy that my ears like the much lower cost reference gear. Unfortunately, I may not be able to find one (in a few mont...

Atma-sphere Updates
Just last night I went to the What's Best forum to the Atmasphere forum. I had come across a story on a cable company called Audio Envy and that story brought back to my memory the A'gon conversation I had with @atmasphere about interconnects. I w...

Interesting to read this thread after nearly 20 years. 
I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage
For my identically sized room the only speaker that comes close to your price that I am considering is an used Thiel 2.7. You can only get them used and they are hard to find now. The only one available for sale I see right now is up in Canada for... 
$1300-1500 DAC
The Benchmark DAC3B (the one without volume control) is the latest DAC3 model and cost something like $1700. I am likely going to get that again unless I decided that I like to spend more money for marginal gains. https://benchmarkmedia.com/produc...

I won't get a 2.7 or 3.7  for the office if I get the 3.7 for the downstairs. I just have to convince the wife that a toddler needs a 3.7. Though when we were dating 12 years ago she went with me to an audition of the 3.7 (in a smallish room) and ...

Thanks guys. I have been looking into the 2.7’s today. The 3 office speakers I have previously narrowed down my search are 10K, 15K, and 18K MRSP. I know I would get the same audio happiness buying a 3.7 and the price would be a lot better. The 2....
