Has anyone compared the Heresy to new KLH model 5?
Sean at Zero Fidelity (search you tube) picked the KLH 5 as his speaker of the year…  
Triangle Competitors?
Same experience here with ZU.  I wanted to like them but nope  
Try a sub a third in the back
Im using a single velodyne hgs-10 sub directly behind me, 180 degrees out of phase.  My speakers are magenpan lrs running full range of a Kinki Studio.  It sounds fantastic!    
Monitor Audio Gold 200 5g (newest current generation) vs Dynaudio Contour 20
@secretguy , a $2500 stand mount will be of higher quality than a $2500 floorstanding speaker.  Stand mounts image better.  Stand mounts are more rigid all other things equal.  Stand mounts are easier to place within a room.  I like subs with eith...

Looking for Advice of Speaker Cables
I went from Oval 9’s to Solo Crystals.  The solo crystals untangle the music in a way I haven’t heard other cables do.  I know, it sounds crazy, but they pull the instruments apart, not physically in space but theres less smearing of the instrumen... 
Seeking advice for speakers for my Family Room
Room treatments should be number 1 on your list.  GIK acoustics makes some attractive panels with scatter plates or the art decco series looks like pictures hanging on your wall. I’d get those little triangle things to put in the top corners of th...

Bummer.  Sad to hear the news.   
China built tube amps
So many components are made in China that even if its assembled somewhere else, where is it really “made”?  My Kinki Studio proudly displays its “we come from china” label.  It is the best built amp I have owned.  Just beautiful build quality.  
Buy Back Old or Move On?
That Coda is awesome.  Get it back!  The speakers are new to you, correct?  Dac will be as well.  This will be a new sound for you but I’d hang on to that Coda…  
Transmission line speakers!
I had a pair of TylerAcoustics HT2-TL speakers that I could not get any 80hz bass out of, in multiple rooms with multiple front ends.  Beautiful looking speakers, smooth, detailed and refined sound, but my Fritz Carrera BE’s smashed them in bass r... 
Why I'm not adding a sub to my 2-way monitors for music
Its all room and speaker dependent and room treatments and speaker placement.  I was going crazy with measurements.  I was able to get the Fritz Carrera Be to play -3db at 20hz and damn near flat from 23hz to 100hz in my last house.     Its so ro... 
Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver
I was going down that road this past summer too Hilde.  I decided to go the other direction and just get a beefy solid state that will push any speakers but I totally get the appeal with tubes, its just that I run into the same issues as you.   ... 
Can recommend some non-fatigue SMALL bookshelf for near-field listening?
Kef r300.     same point source awesome nearfield imaging as ls50’s but ghe r300’s are warmer / have more bass.  I had ls50’s and r300’s.  I think you like the r300’s!  Oh and you can snag em for around $400  
Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver
Hi Hilde!  Are these supplementing the Salks or replacing?  If supplementing, then maybe go a different sound than the salks.  The Spatials look very interesting to me personally.  The Klipsch forte heritages are really nice and listen up does car...
