Small living room speaker options.. Totem Arro?
 Hello lietuvis91, have you made a decision yet?  Omega makes some very fine monitors both single drivers and 1.5 ways. If you prefer a two way I have used Joseph Prisms and ProAc Response D2's in a small room and both performed very well. 
Good monitor speakers for 300B amps.
Omega makes really great sounding high efficiency monitors and they don't get the recognition they deserve. They are RSL bargains at their their asking price and the new natural finishes are very beautiful. 
Jolida Fusion 3502S vs. Jolida Fusion 801
Thank you for the replies. I purchased the Jolida/Black Ice 3502s  with the Rike paper oil capacitor and Naked Vishay resistor upgrades a couple of weeks ago from Underwood Wally and I am very happy with the sound. This unit is very musical and we... 
Obscure brands worth considering
I forgot to mention that Redgum is now distributed in the USA by Colleen Cardas Imports.http://colleencardasimports.com/ 
Obscure brands worth considering
Redgum makes some great sounding solid state electronics which even a tube lover can appreciate. This Australian company makes some of the most musical gear I have heard at any price. 
Need Small Bookshelf Speakers With a Big Sound
Joseph Audio Prisms and Larsen 60.2s both sound big and VERY good! 
Best Debut Albums
I agree The Doors was a fantastic debut album, but all of their albums were great! 
Shopping for new speakers
I own the Joseph Audio Prisms and they are fantastic speakers. I prefer them to more expensive monitors I have owned in the past such as Harbeth 30.1s, and Peak Consult Princess monitors which are both excellent speakers, but the Prisms combinatio... 
Help, my system sounds lifeless!
 I have a pair of Joseph Audio Prisms that I think are fantastic speakers and work well with tubes or solid state. These monitors sound big, not the miniaturized sound of many monitors, and they are very musical, but they still check the all of th... 
Ascend Sierra 2's vs. Monitor Audio GX 50's or GX 100's
 Thank you 213runnin. I have owned a pair of the Monitor Gold GX 50's for around a month and I think they are excellent. I have not owned many ribbon speakers, but I have been always curious about the RAAL ribbon tweeters because of the praise the... 
Neat Momentum SX5i or Rega RX5
I recently got a pair of  Rega RX1's and I am very impressed! They are my first Rega speakers and they are competitive with any speakers I have heard around their $1295. list price. If you get a chance give them a listen and I think you will be ve... 
Omega, Harbeth, JM Reynaud, ad Skylan
Omega speakers are fantastic and they don't get near the acclaim they should. They are definitely one of the best bargains in audio. Besides the top of the line Alnico drivers the new RS5 drivers are significantly better than his older, but still ... 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
Frank Sinatra and Jim Morrison. 
High value, high efficiency speakers for SET amps
The new Omegas are supposed to be excellent. I had a pair of Omega Sticks years ago and they were very good speakers, but Omega has improved the drivers and cabinets and their performance has been taken to a much higher level. My friend has an ope... 
Teton monitors from Wavetouch Audio - A Must Hear
I purchased the Wavetouch Audio Grand Teton SEs a couple of months ago and they are the best monitors I have ever owned. Some of the previous monitors I have owned are Peak Consult Princess, Merlin TSM-MXEs, Audio Note AX-2 Signature, AAD Silver S...
