two channel speaker/equipment consultant

"You don't need a consultant just your own ears"

Personally, I think that you need both.  

It will take time for your aural memory to lock-in good, excellent, and just-right! 

Listen to LOTS of various systems.  Visit shop, shows and friends.  I understand it takes time, but it will be a good investment if you find 'just right' speakers.

Everyone seems to agree that in-home demos provide the most assurance.

Balance words with motivation.  Most of us have an emotional investment, as well as lots of cash, in HiFi.  Others of us have a profit motive.  Keep your ears open for all of these motives.

Last of all, be patient!

+1, I'd go with Ryan Charpentier too, local KC guy... He has talked me out of some sht i didn't need (when he could have sold me things and called it a night).

Also attend the MWAVE KC show, would be a good place to meet some local KC audio nerds.
