Serious Krell amp question for those who really know Krell amps
Well when you add Agostino to the list the choice is easy for me with the understanding that I’m sure that all the amps mentioned would be fine too.I bought a preowned Agostino S200 which I upgraded to the current S250. Lots of power and musicalit...

Esoteric C03 preamp or Mark Levinson 326S preamp- ANY and ALL FEEDBACK / HELP PLEASE
previously owned a 326s and thought it superlative. loved everything about it. wish i’d kept it instead of continual trading! 
Evolution Acoustics
Agostino second hand. I think there may be a pair for half off available. I have an S250 and love it. Best wishes 
NEW!!! Wilson Alexia MkII listening session
pokey. when at sunny’s give the Yvette’s a listen too. Way below your budget but it’s a new kind of Wilson sound. Sweetness and intense musicality with authority.Alexia Mk 2’s would be more of all of the above I would expect with similar voicing. ... 
April 2017 review of the Paradigm Persona 9H A home run for Paradigm!
Old time audiophile here. IMHO there are many excellent speakers available for all kinds of tastes. I personally would not buy Paradigm speakers in the price range being discussed in this thread. A lot of guys that can afford a $35k speaker wouldn...

$3000 Speaker Search
Revel. Love the F206 in particular. Superb build quality and sound way beyond it’s price class.  
$1000-$2000 Floor-standing speakers for larger room w/NAD 326bee
I would strongly consider a mint used pair of Revel F206’s which list for $3500. Overbuilt with sound quality far beyond its price range. These are great speakers and I’ve been around the block many times. Much pride of ownership once you open the... 
Upgrading form Pass integrated amplifier to a better one
I understand that all other options seem to be off the table but I would urge you to consider a mint used Dartzeel CTH 8550 integrated amp. The road would stop here. Exudes Swiss uber build quality and sound competitive with very high end separate... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
4: things as OP I want to comment on:1. 75% of verbiage to my thread is from a dealer2. Bill Parish of GTT is one of the best guys in audio and would never push his wares or opinions in these forums and i haven't bought anything from him since som... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
As the the original poster I now find that I’m not the only one tired of dealer verbosity on what should be non commercial member discussion.One another note I’m not sure who posting here has their business in their home but those that do aren’t g... 
Dealers hijacking the discussions
Well I agree that one can just avoid reading posts as desired. I’m hearing that in general most members don’t mind so it’s mostly a personal problem. If it becomes pervasive I think many may change their mind, but then maybe not.  
Speaker cable recommendation for Marten Django XL
Devils advocate here but I see no special connection to Jorma other than some Marten dealers sell Jorma and as would many cables they sound good together. Personally after many years on the cable merry go round I’ve ended up with Audioquest which ... 
Downsizing Speakers in Main Listening Room - Your Feedback on Some options
I’d look at the Revel F206. Has it all. Small footprint in a beautiful cabinet with great bass to go with superb  musicality . You’ll wonder how they can make any money on them. They really are special.
