Got lots of time on my hands and thought I'd revisit old posts.
Found my speakers solution: Revel Performa3 F206. Best I auditioned for my MAC under $5,000 a pair and I auditioned lots! Won't bore you all with the details here but for any who are interested in this quest you can read all about it in "Time To Upgrade Speakers" and "Sequel to Time To Upgrade Speakers" in Stereophile. I've also got a post or comment in and exchange with Dough Schneider in Soundstage HIFI. Under controlled audition conditions, GoldenEar Triton 2+ and Martin Logan Motion 60 Xti were the only things that came close but no cigar.
