Thank you so much for the Canton suggestion @revrob.@jdal - I had not considered Bache Audio.
I did visit JohnnyR@audioconnection today. Had an extended listening session with his Quatro CTs - mostly played through Gilmour (Live at Pompeii) given that I love the mastering on that one. It just blew me away - and this was not my first time auditioning the Quatros.
It looks like I will be moving ahead with a pair from RichardV - fingers x'd. I will keep you all posted.
Once again this thread goes to show how helpful Audiogon is to people looking to pick this hobby up. Thanks all.
