Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions?
I can get them for under $1000  I do not want hyper detailed and thing That is exactly what  alot of mid level gear seems to sound like today.  Pehaps i should keep my Mirage OM 5s or go for the old Infinity RSII near me  love the old stuff 
Sonus Faber Venere 3.0 Opinions?
Interesting  it would seem with rock and blues that would be good??  Say sound compared to Vandersteen 2CE or PSB Gold i or even Energy Vetius 1.8 
LSA 2 speakes any experience with these?
 Compared to B&W Matrix 803 series one the the B&W seem more full. Looking at  items in my area PSB Silveri and Goldi, Para studio 100V2, Dahlquist DQ 20. DynAudio Audience 72,  Mirage OM5, Medowlark Kestrel Hot Rod. 
Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question
In order to remove the sock (if that is what you are asking)  you have to 1)turn the speaker upside down and remove the 7 screws from the bottom plate2) You then need to pry off the bottom plate as it is glued on3)  There are then  about 30 staple... 
Vandersteen 2Ci - Bi-wire cable question
I have gone through this with several speakers including Vandersteens  I use AP Oval 9.  There is a difference just not sure it is worth the cost.  Notice I did not say better but different.  The Vandersteens seemed more open and the driver blendi...

Vienna Acoustics Mozart Grand v Focal 826V
Hard to compare as they are many miles apart and listening in another room is almost useless  Are the Mozarts laid back at all??  In other words are rock and blues going to sound to soft?  We are not looking for Cerwin Vega here but do not want a ...

I have Vandersteen 2C (late 80s) and Infinity RS 2.5 right now.  I prefer the doped tweeter in the 2C to the late metal tweeter.  I assume the above speakers are in a different league? 
Integrateds, which one??????????????
I tried one very good but almost hyper  The headphone output is one of the worst i have ever heard  Sam T even mentioned that in his review 
Integrateds, which one??????????????

Not going to be adding things to the Vandersteens   The Hegel is out of the question.  I laid out what i can spend   How come nobody is excited about the Rogue Tempest magnum?  60 w/ch??  I have had tube hybrids but never a full tube deal  Worried...

Integrateds, which one??????????????
The Parasound would be great but is WAY out of range  The list above is the list because they all fall in the $700 to $900 range used.  Another would be the HK 990.  That is if i knew of one.
