Amazing ''Overachieving'' products...your pick?
Another vote for the AP Virgo IIs. Both of my brothers want to buy them from me but they are staying put. As a prior poster mentioned, when they are set up right not much can touch them.

Soundsmith monitors - Opinions wanted
Thanks Peter. Because these speakers are difficult to audition 9at least on the West Coast) I wonder if there is anyone in the SoCal area that has the Monarchs and might be amenable for me to have a listen. This is the one downside to "under the r... 
Soundsmith monitors - Opinions wanted
I did not ask over there but probably will. As Magnumpi205 asks the speakers don't seem to get much press or discussion. I love "below the radar" gear and I'm on a quest to find a less than expensive monitor that works for me. Listened to some Ton...

best monitor speaker under $2000
KovenI'm going to assume that the OP understands that any suggestions by folks posting on this thread come with the caveat that listening to any of the speakers they mention/recommend is a must for the OP. Buy before you try is an expensive gamble... 
Step Up/Down Transformers - Good or Bad?
Thanks for all the responses. Unfortunately I do not have the ability to put in a dedicated 240 line. I also discovered that the transformer I was given by the manufacturer of the amp to "solve my problem" apparently is quite inexpensive...less th... 
Speaker connections: Spade vs. Banana Plus
Confused by this response by Amandarae. Anyone have a response specifically regarding quality of sound issues and whether it is advisable to look into purchasing another set speaker cables that have banana plug terminations? Thanks. 
Which Integrated tube amp?
A what?Gregg 
Ayon Audio Spirit integrated amp
I'm curious if anyone can comment on this amp's capabilities versus the Audio Space Reference 3.1 (KT-88 version). Both have received enormous praise in the audio press and are comparable in price.
