Reference 3a Dulcet vs. MM Da Capo i
They look beautiful in your room and your description of their performance is really helpful. Thanks! Enjoy! 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Rbf1138,Don't take my selling of the Ohms too much to heart. I ultimately decided, I think, that the "omni" presentation of the Ohms wasn't my cup of tea. It may in part be because my room was so "lively" and untreated at the time that it was doin...

Bigshutterbug, how did your Episode episode work out? ;-) 
Ohm Walsh Microtall or Vandersteen 1C
I'd suggest talking to John Strohbeen at Ohm and seeing if he thinks the Nova has enough juice to drive the MWT's. They do like a good deal of current to sing. Ditto what Martykl said about the omni presentation: some dig it, some don't. But given...

Post how you like the Episodes, please. They are way out of my budget but I'd love to hear your impressions. Thanks!

Bigshutterbug,Hello, and thank you for the thoughtful post. I really do need to update that system picture of mine. things have changed in the room quite a bit. The speakers are now all along the long wall of the room. There was a bass suck out on... 
MM Micro one comparison.
A Dallas area EA dealer told me he's expecting his first MM Micro's at the end of January, 2012. We'll see... 
Merlin vsm mme owners, Cardas cabling Question.
It seems clear that some of the folks in this thread have a much higher budget for cables than I did when I was shopping for a match for my TSM-mmi's. For what it's worth, I'm using Supra Classic 6.0 cables between my TSM's and my Manley Mahi mono... 
Can you play DVD-A discs on a MacBook Pro?
Bill_k,Thanks for the tip .... looks interesting. I wonder what if any quality is lost in the ripping process with that software. 
Best "small footprint" speaker between $600-1000
I'll "4th" the Ohm Micro Walsh Tall.... call John Strohbeen at Ohm and see what he can do for you. I no longer have mine but for what they do well they're terrific. 
"Nightfly Trilogy" worth the trouble?
Chadnliz and Truman: Well, there you have two contrasting opinions for sure. 
Complete newbie needing guidance/purchase advice
Renaissanceman9,I have owned the LSA1 Statement in the past and it's a very nice speaker. Haven't heard the 2's but would expect them to be a fine starting point, if not your "forever" speaker (as if most of us have such a thing!) FWIW! 
Fritz Carbon 7 vs. Nola Boxer or Harbeth?
Fritz got a review in TAS? Really? Wow... he must be thrilled... be interested to read it when my issue arrives. 
DAC newbie: toslink vs. coax and more...
Thanks for all the advice. I'm gonna try coax first and report back.Turns out that a local audio shop bought out the entire stock of a discontinued Nordost cable which works for coax and regular RCA analogue; it's called "Omni Konnect." It was 1/2...

Thank you very much for the helpful response! Subsequent to posting this (I should have done so at the outset) I did a Google search on this topic, and came up with tons of hits, both here and elsewhere. Thank you!
