Speaker upgrade
Have you considered open baffle speakers?  They're not box speakers and they're not horns. Take a look here at two models: M4 Ultra | Spatial Audio Lab X4 Ultra | Spatial Audio Lab  
To pricey
How many takeovers, buyouts, etc. etc. has B&W been subject to since they were actually Bowers & Wilkins down in deepest Sussex?  Who owns them now? Whatever you think of them nowadays, for the list price of any of their models it would b...

Dust Settled Consensus- is the Benchmark AHB2 an Audiophile Amplifier?
There was a guy over on WhatsBestForum driving his 40.2's with a bridged pair of AHB2's.  He thought this was the best combination.

Graham LS5/9 vs Harbeth M30.2 and SHL5 Plus

Cables to settle brightness
Herbs and spices should never be used to modify the flavor of a dish. You should always achieve the exact flavor you are aiming for through the choice and combination of the primary ingredients.

Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits?
Luxman is a much more common brand in Japan.  All the models coming from Japan will have 100v electrical, so you need a step-down transformer.  This makes those models considerably less desirable.  
Focal Stella
Yes, this smells fizzy.  
The one time you want to pull out but she says no.
Put casters on them.  
Can someone help me pick out my first speakers?
