Got a coin? 
Review: Merlin Music Systems Master VSM Speaker
I got the Master BAM and RCs - I'm done with further iterations, if I change, it will be to another speaker, or no change at all. 
Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps
The otherwise is the value camp I might consider: Van Alstine T8.Would love to do a shootoutDecware CSP2+AVA T8Mapletree 2AeTranscendent Grounded GridVery interesting array, for high value, minimal BS. 
Mapletree Audio versus Decware preamps

I've come to the same conclusion, but never say never:)

I guess you think 12" of snow is proof there is no global warming? An anomalous variance from the trend does not in itself (other factors might - like permanently loosing one's industrial base) change the endurance of the trend over time. I'm tell...

Retail?
Audio equipment depreciates (unless it becomes a vintage collectible), real estate appreciates - the analogy you make doesn't work for me. Let's just agree to disagree on this one. 
Mac MA2275 versus Jadis DA60
OP may have made a move by now, the original question was asked 3 years ago.

Egoben, what speakers were you listening to wit hthe Orchestra when you felt the bass control was lacking? 
Retail?
As as seller I would feel an obligation to not be deceptive, and that listing the current MSRP wich is several thousand more than it was when I paid for it used on Audiogon 3 years ago is deceptive in intent, it is purposefully concealing a materi...
