@audiokinesis I believe that you are correct.  Here is what the Theoretica web site says: BACCH® 3D Sound will greatly enhance the spatial fidelity of sound reproduction through any loudspeakers. Loudspeakers that have high sound directivity2 wil...

@paradisecom I've actually never heard ML's but will be sure to stop by their room at Axpona.  Thanks for the recommendation. @yogiboy Interestingly, the advice I got on the Spendor user's forum is to look into the Graham Chartwell LS6.  If I sta...

@yogiboy - Sorry, I should have mentioned that my wife graciously  suggested that I use our 23'x16'x8' TV room for the audio system and move the TV to the smaller room where the audio system is now.  That's why I was thinking of the larger Harbeth... 
New Falcon ls3/5a Silvers in the house
By the way, I am considering another system and am looking at Fritz speakers. Can you compare your Carbon 7's to the Falcons in terms of SQ?  Thanks.  
New Falcon ls3/5a Silvers in the house
OP - Here is a completely different option.  I have Spendor SP3/5r2, a 2012 version of the ls3/5a, paired with a Peachtree GaN1 power DAC/ digital amp.  I had my GaN1 modded by Ric Schultz.   The SQ is just wonderful.  Detailed but non-fatiguing, ... 
Newer Blues Artists or Recordings
OP, thanks for starting this thread. @mitch2   +1 for Eric Bibb FWIW, I've been listening lately to Hans Theesink, an acoustic Dutch bluesman now living in Vienna.  His renditions of American blues are very good.  Occasionally his Dutch accent s... 
Borresen Loudspeakers
OP, thanks for the post.  I had a "ticket" but was unable to attend.  It was no doubt a good opportunity to hear the Borreson speakers in a well sorted-out room.  Any impressions of SQ would be appreciated.  I am especially interested in the X1's ... 
Recommendations on integrated amps
+1 for the Cambridge CXA81.  In this price range it's a great value; does everything well.

Bacch4Mac, but keep it under your hat as the wife doesn't know yet.  
Happy Holidays to All
Merry Christmas to everyone on Agon and thanks, too.  I've learned a lot from all of you.  
Spendor SP 1/2e....TECH HELP NEEDED!
Before you do anything else I recommend that you join the Spendor user group at the link below.  There are guys on this forum who have enormous experience with troubleshooting and restoring Spendors, and specifically the BC-1 line. Best of luck. ... 
Sansui?
@johnnotkathi - my brother-in-law likes 70's rock, country, Jimmy Buffett and current blues (eg, Keb Mo).  Reverb has two alphas for sale at reasonable prices ($750 and $850) by a seller in Japan.  Paired with JBL 100's and I think he'd be a happy... 
Sansui?
@mahgister many thanks.  There's an alpha 907 for sale on USAudiomart!  What period speakers would pair well with this amp?  
Sansui?
I stipulated a receiver because I assumed that Sansui didn't offer an integrated in the 80's.  Probably a bad assumption - as I said, I'm clueless about the 80's.  So let's say integrated, just not separates.  Since he doesn't have a big vinyl or ... 
Real or Surreal. Do you throw accuracy out the window for "better" sound?
This seems to be a continuation of a recent thread on a "French" sound.  Isn't hyper-detail another equipment design aesthetic?  It's not my cup of tea, but it certainly seems to be a design goal valued by some manufacturers and their customers.  ...
