Plato, I'd also be inerested in your top 5 speaker list. I currently own Avalon Radian HCs with Spectral and MIT. I love most things about this system, the transparency, image width etc. They are reasonably dynamic but seem to lack the pppp to ffff dynamics I'd like. My other complaint about this system is a slight thinness or lack of burnish in the brasses and a lack of sweetness to the violins that you hear in real life. I don't think I could give up the transparency, speed and imaging capacities of the system. Do you guys think the Khorus speakers fit this bill? What eletronics and wire/cabling have you found that bring this speaker to life? Beside the Nearfields any other class contenders out there, without taking out a second mortgage Or even if you did have to? I've heard great things about the Lamm elecronics, Joule, First Sound, Amasphere and Jadis as well. Anyone have the privledge of hearing any of these components compared or individually? Thanks for responding to my post.
