Curious what people think is the best "value" high end speaker (~5K to 15K)
If buying used, I believe the best sounding and best value speaker is the Tannoy Kensington SE.  If you've never heard a Tannoy, you owe it to yourself to have the experience.   
Oppo 205 guagers selling used units for twice the price...
I too posted on their listings letting them know that Oppo was manufacturing another batch at $1299 retail and they were petulant with their responses.  I refer back to my initial post above about these people having no souls.  I'm a big believer ...

I suspect that those trying to profit (in the extreme) on the Oppo 205 have no soul.  I hope that no one will accommodate any of these scammers. 
Best Tube/SS Amps for Harbeth 7ES-3
The Vinnie Rossi LIO integrated is an ideal match with Harbeth and gets best of sound at every show no matter which Harbeth is being used. 
what speaker cable do you use on the Evolution Acoustics MM3 speakers or Harbeth speakers.
Cerious technologies Graphene extreme speaker cables with Harbeth are exceptional. 
Need advice about upgrading speakers ( it might be the last one i own).
Devore O/93's are the best speaker I've heard at anywhere near it's price.  Based on what your initial post states, there are few speakers that provide as much emotion as these do.  They do everything right and play every kind of music you can thr... 
Harbeth & VAC combo
I have used a VAC Sigma 160i with the Harbeth Super HL5+ and it was a very solid match.  I've also used Naim, Sugden and other ss amps with Harbeth with limited success.  None had the magic that the VAC did.  A year ago, I attended AXPONA and visi... 
Search for miracle integrated
The Vinnie Rossi LIO is a no brainer for several reasons:- It’s the best integrated I’ve ever heard and it doesn’t need expensive power cords as it’s "off the grid".- It’s 25wpc aren’t your typical power rating.....it seems to be much more robust.... 
Linear Tube Audio- Any feedback on their amps/ Preamp?
weebeesdad-I found the synergy to be better with the Proacs vs the Omegas.  I think the Omegas do better with SET amps, maybe because the SET amps produce more distortion and the Omegas are so clear.     
Your favorite one-man band!
I've seen Tommy Emmanuel live and own everyone of his albums.....amazing talent! 
Need Suggestions for speakers up to $15K new/used
ProAc D48Rs should also be on your list. 
What is going on? No-one buys good stuff priced right.
There have been several interesting answers above and I'd like to offer some more.....We are living in a time when even relatively "inexpensive" gear has gotten really good sounding.  If you've been in this hobby for any length of time, you start ... 
Why so many headphones for sale with less than 10 hours of listening time?
Johnny- that has been my experience (with break in) and one of the reasons I started this thread.....to see if anyone else noticed a difference after a long break in period. 
ProAc sound with SS vs tubes
I know I'm a little late to this thread, but I wanted to throw in my 2 cents worth.  I owned the D20r's and experienced the same issue with the bass using both tube and ss amps.  The midrange and imaging are amazing, but I was able to move up to t...
