Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
I don't want to be disrespectful to anyone; however bo1972 please stop. Please! You repeat the same thing ad nauseam. I don't see how anyone can benefit from what you say.

Monitor Audio Pl 300ii vs. KEF Reference 5
Good speakers can sound drastically different based on the room and components that are connected to them. I keep hearing that Monitor Audio speakers have no detail and/or lack resolution, but I submit they are neutral and really reflect what’s co...

imhififan,I’m not a technical person; therefore I didn’t know how the JR 625 S2 measured. I think some believe "audiophiles" select components in a vacuum. I listened to several amplifiers below $20K in my system and based on listening I prefer th... 
Looking For 90% of the performane of the super expensive cables for much less money
You have a better chance of closing the gap if you purchase used. For interconnect cables something like Audioquest Niagara. Audioquest current Thunder powercord offers excellent value and you should be able to get the recently discontinued Wirewo... 
Customer Service in High-End Audio
I've had great service. The two standouts are Wilson Audio and Jeff Rowland.  
Does hearing the best in high end audio make your opinions more valid?

My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
In my humble opinion I wouldn't change anything until you get a better room. At the level you're playing at, based on your pictures, your limiting factor is your room. Just a thought!

George, I love to compare different components in my system. Please recommend an amp to replace my 625 S2. It can't have tubes and must be below $20K. It will be driving my Monitor Audio PL500 IIs in a 20' x 26' room. I'll post the results.

George,I read the article you posted. I understand what you’re saying about the measurements, but the listening session comments ends with: "It will provide superb and neutral sound with cutting-edge resolution and micro/ macro dynamics across the...

Never mind bo. You say the same things over and over and over and over and over again.

bo1972,Please don't start, because with all of your hyperbole the conversation becomes about you. That being said, there are many people that feel Monitor Audio series II are too laid back and as a result aren't as detailed as some would like.  
Monitor Audio Platinum or Magico A3
I guess I just don't understand people on Audiogon. If you're reading the same thread I am, than "you should go listen" is the clear winner!
