JBL 4367: What an AMAZING sounding speaker!
How is the low end?  Any need for a subwoofer?have you heard the M2 in comparison? 
Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers
If you let this thread go long enough you will have every 10k or so speaker listed.What do YOU like in a speaker.  Anything in particular?  How much power do you have?  You like a lot of thump?  Planning on using a subwoofer?  Want the ultimate in... 
Best used integrated for under $5000
Thought you were looking at Salk or Selah? 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Techno,So much of it is system matching.  Speakers to amps etc.  We all know that.Here is what I am pretty darn confident in saying about Pass Labs.It's very, very rare that Pass doesn't at least sound "damn good" with just about any combo of spea...

MP... while I’m not a huge room correction fan for 2 channel listening. I do think it helps most people with subwoofers, bass, and centers and surrounds.Now DSP (Which I suppose some consider room correction), I have heard the JBL m2's set up prop... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
MP,I sure wouldn’t think the amp would affect the bass output on the 13a,.  It’s an interesting question as the pre-amp certainly could and likely does affect the bass, yet the signal makes it’s way to the speaker VIA the amp sending it. But, then... 
My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
Rolling tubes, not sure it makes a product any better. Sound different, better to you, tailored to your tastes? Absolutely.But better... maybe on an inexpensive piece. But why would a MFG cheap out on a 15k component to save 15 bucks on tubes?With... 
Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end?
Well, I am not a believer in power cleaning etc.  Many MFG want you to plug straight into the wall, I have a dedicated 20amp outlet etc.  I appreciate many do.  I've used these electronics with a few speakers.  Never an issue with brightness.  It'...

@last_lemming What BAT combo are you using?BAT has always interested me.   
Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end?
@jetter thanks!  I wasn't aware of the Schitt Loki.  Seems like a nice inexpensive way to see if an EQ would do the trick.  May order one up here this week. 
Tube Pre-Amp, vs Solid State with Tone Controls/EQ to take edge off the top end?
@stereo5 The idea of a tube pre-amp with a solid state amp does make a lot of logical sense to me. Could be the direction I head.I’m pretty close to what I want, so obviously always that fear of selling off the pass and regretting it. But, what yo... 
Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh)
@arturos,So I have some much older used, beat to heck cylinders. I liked much of what they could do as a speaker, so... I ordered a pair of Demo 4900’s that I was going to try and then make a decision on that model, likely in a different color or ...

My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each!
techno,The neoliths absolutely stomp the Magico's WCSS has, also stomps the B+W diamond series (possibly the most overrated series of speakers ever produced).  The current Diamonds are the first ones remotely listenable over 90dbs for more than 10... 
Seeking informed advice on speaker acquisition (Vandersteen vs. OHM Walsh)
@auturos73, I wish a month was the backlog.  I really want to try some of their newer speakers, but I've been waiting quite some time now.  Very nice guys, but it seems it may take longer than even I expected.Big soundstage, tons of bass.  I simpl...
