Due ot a move to a smaller home (and therefore listening room...10 by 20) and some extra cash....I am now in search of updating the speakers. Hre is my question......taking to mind the stage, depth and bass of the RS 1's .... I paln to audion the following speakers.... Acarian Alon Circe Wilson Watt Puppy 6 Verity Parsifal Vandersteen 5 Horning Piega 10 Genesis 501 Egglesto Andra Sonus Faber (20k verson) What are your comments, dear amigos' and do you have any other suggestions.....I am trying to keep size to a minimum.

Greetings "Rwd", One of the finest loudspeaker systems available is from Tyler Acoustics. The Linbrook $12,000 system is TA's finest accomplishment that will play music as well as any speaker at any price. If you're in Las Vegas this coming weekend (i.e. January 6-9, 2001), they will have this system on hand for demonstration at the St. Tropez Resort Hotel in room 1803 (next to the Alexus Park Resort Hotel). You can also see this new flagship online too... http://tyleracoustics.home.mindspring.com/linbrook.html Happy listening! Best regards, -Donald J. Winslow, Owner W ENTERPRISES NORTHWEST -Portland, OR USA http://www.wenterprisesnw.com/start.htm wenw@uswest.net

I strongly recommend adding the Revel Studio and Salon to your list. I listened extensively to most of the speakers on your list before making my purchase and found the Revels to be, in my opinion, the most musical sounding. As for dealers, I suggest you contact Mike of Frank at Audio Outlet in Mount Kisco, NY -(914)666-0550 - www.audiooutlet.com. These guys are extremely friendly and knowledgeable and gave me what I consider to be an excellent deal. What is also good about them is that they carry many brands and have a lot of items in stock to audition and compare. For example, they carry Revel, Wilson, Audio Physic, Dynaudio, Verity, ProAc, Avalon, etc. As a matter of fact, I believe they are currently selling their demo Eidolons and a couple of their Wilsons. Furthermore, they will accept trades or help you sell your current equipment. I highly reccommend these guys. Hope this helps. Ed G.
