Best speakers in the 50-60k range ?
recently at Fla. Audio Expo I heard the Sasha DA, Classic Audio T1s, and the entry level Magico among many others. those Wilson's IMO will need some bottom end grabbing power or they will present as being loose in the low end. a pair of aR 150/160...

@noble1001good is always the enemy of the best, as I understand it.despite what or where one feels the need to experiment with what they deem already quite good, or very nice, it just seems purdent to develop a methodology for direction, a base li... 
What is your approach to system fine tuning with cables and cords ?
@innathe approach I listed above is EXACTLY the process I’ve used since I found out wires do matter. naturally, I keep this all within reason and within available means, of course. the colorful asides were some what exaggerated, but only slightly...

Klipsch!. The worst speaker company, EVER?
its one thing to be suspected of being an idiot. its quite another thing to open one’s mouth and prove it. some people should never be allowed to own a camera, let alone  be in front of  it. 
Music I would succumb to under torture
