Compact Floor-standing Speaker Recommendations under $4k
Thank everyone for all the continued advice!  Spendor A7's are still near the top of my list and found a pair within my budget through a private listing.  On the other hand also found a dealer demo pair of the Spendor D7.2's a little over budget,...

MM Cartridge Recommendation
Thanks again everyone! If nothing else this has really educated me on a lot more options than I had previously considered.  It also seems to show just how subjective "good" sound can be based on each person's own preference. Here have been my thou... 
MM Cartridge Recommendation
Thanks @noromance !The Nagaoka MP500 or Audio Technica VM760ML were two that I had come across as well.  My concerns with the Nagaoka is I've read it's difficult to setup and it also looks quite heavy.  I was worried if that would pair well with t...
