Speakers or amp to be upgrade?
If you don't want to change the way your speakers sound now, it's pretty simple.  You don't need to upgrade anything. You either want to change the sound, or you don't. 
Interconnects and non-believers
@ron1319 No, what @devilboy is saying is that a *cable* (not a signal modification device) transmits the signal from point A to point B without any modification or attenuation.  Cables that *sound* a particular way - irrespective of what the parti... 
Beware the audio guru
@supertweak - perhaps share this pearl of wisdom with your MENSA compatriots:  When you find yourself in a hole (especially one of your own making), the first order of business is to *stop digging*.  Acting the part of a petulant child hardly help...

We Need A Separate Forum for Fuses
@nonoise As for a "body of evidence", how about the many tens of thousands who've tried it, hear it, and enjoy it? I'd like to see some evidence to support the claim that there are "many tens of thousands" who've tried all these fuses, and beli... 
Who wants the best improvement in their system EVER!
@escritorjuan - Actually, it is a transitive verb as well as an adjective. 
New system!
@hawk123 - Interesting.  Never personally listened to any Emotiva gear, but they certainly have their cheering section... ;-)I've been using a Denon DP60L for decades, with a Grace F9 Ruby, and have no complaints.  Solid tables IME.  I've audition... 
New system!
Hmm, I take that back, the B&W is an 8 ohm nominal impedance, but shouldn't pose an issue with the Parasound Halo 5 as it's well protected against low impedances. 
New system!
Congratulations - that is a big step up indeed.  I've used the Sophia 2s for many years now with a B&W Matrix HTM center channel and find the voicing to meld pretty seamlessly.  I think you'll be pleased with how they integrate. The Bose 101s?... 
Wilson Speakers & Reviewers
@frozentundra - Dude, 8" of snow?  Two words; Move South!  Too cold for my blood - supposed to be 95F here tomorrow ;-)As for being vehement, I am, but only insofar as defending one's right to a preference, and pointing out the folly of relegating...

@firefightingrob - That's kind of my experience with Magico speakers as well.  My local dealer sells Mac, Wilson, Linn, Magico, Sonus Faber, Meridian, Wisdom, Maggies, Martin Logan, Totem, and MBL so comparisons are fairly easy to do (albeit in di... 
Wilson Speakers & Reviewers
@jonnie22 - I don't take any issue with you reporting what you heard, just with reporting what you *assume*, yet cannot possibly *know*, i.e. that "... people who like Wilson are simply not aware of other brands...".   Such statements simply demea...

@jonnie22 - " ...I just don’t want to be odd-man out...." this is what I was referring to.  Unless you are afraid to accept your *own preferences* as valid on their own, why on Earth would you care about being "odd-man out"?Did you miss my acknowl... 
Wilson Speakers & Reviewers
@wspohn - Agreed.  I picked up my Sophias as store demos (~61% of new price) when the model 3's came out. $17K just wasn't in the cards, and is just too much IMO for speakers.  That said, Wilson is hardly the industry leader in ridiculously priced...

@jonnie22 - I"m not aware of caring what 'audio writers' like or dislike in speakers.  I base my purchases on what I like, not what they like.
