David12- All Stockfisch material was recorded no later than 2009, most prior to '09. 
Sara K SACD vs. XRCD
Been a huge Sara K fan since the early Chesky days. She is a unique and special talent. I met Sara at The Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Santa Fe about 10 or so years ago. We were in town on vacation and happened to walk to the CHOF because we had heard ... 
DUNLAVY SC-VI
Listen to UNSOUND. Get your room dimensions correct. I've owned SCIVs and SCVs. SCVIs do require a large room and I do think placing them on the long wall is best. I would look into narrowing one dimension of your room. Something like 20x17x 9. Du...

Evolution Acoustics Micro Ones. If you're unfamiliar with them there's a lengthy thread further down that's worth checking out. I own them and love them!!

Iknev: The Micro Ones will be PERFECT in your room. You will have plenty of room to position them ideally. Play with side/front wall distances. Small changes in wall proximity will pay off for you. The bass output is prodigious, no need for a subw...

Stereotaipei: I've read your car analogy at least 5 times and cannot, for the life of me, understand your point. I'm a longtime MM3 owner and recently bought Micro Ones for a 2nd system. The Micro Ones are remarkable in their ability to mimic the ... 
Top monitors 3K - 6K range
The Evolution Acoustics Micro Ones are insanely good. I own a pair of EA MM3s in my main system and recently picked up a pair of Micro Ones for a 2nd system. The Micros share their big brother's fabulous tonal balance and have bass output which ne...

Recroom: Have you considered calling EA? Their number is readily available on their website. This approach may be more effective.

Sorry for, essentially, a double post. I made the 1st one yesterday afternoon and when it wasn't posted by late evening I reposted, thinking the initial post was lost somewhere in cyberspace.I should add that I've owned several belt, idler and dir... 
Wave Kinetics NVS Turntable - Stereophile Review
I own an NVS owner and am delighted with the turntable. It is the best vinyl transducer I have heard to date. The dynamic drive is far superior to any belt or idler wheel drive table in my experience. The bass is deeper, tighter and more linear th...
