Speaker Recomendation

i would add revel to the list
studios or salons. the synergy would be first rate

(MY 2 CENTS WORTH)
Being a musican,singer/songwriter. And I've worked with composers in California. Spending 30 years in recording studios.Also on film projects, television, & the record biz.
I've heared many many systems from tube & solid state.
And my conclusion 4 the best sound & money in Amps, Preamps, & Turntables R... Audio Research,
Conrad Johnson, Manley, Tenor, Balanced Audio, Ayre, Jeff Roland, Theta, Oracle, VPI, Wilson, Aerial, & Vandersteen. These are straight forward great components!
That will get you very close to the original master recording!

Have a look at Merlin.merlinmusic.com.See the threds/posts at Agon and Audioasylum.
Good Luck and enjoy the journey.
