Speakers (and system) for a small-ish room
Well, looks like it was too good to be true. I made a deal with the seller to pick them up on Wednesday 3/14. Today I saw that he pulled the ad off of craigs list. Texted him to see what's going on. He's now claiming that he has had a change of he... 
Speakers (and system) for a small-ish room
@schubert  I did some research on Totems and Silverline. Based on reviews, it seems that the Totems might be a bit forward sounding compared to the Harbeth. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but I don't know how this would play out if I'm only s...

Thanks for the suggestions. I had not considered Vandersteen before, but the VLR surely looks promising. For some reason, I always thought that Vandersteens were better as floorstanders. The only problem is that I don't see any used ones for sale....

sorry i forgot to add that I'm looking for bookshelf speakers only. 
KEF LS50 Wireless -- wow!!!
@daystar85 -- nice video. I have the same stands, except they're in white. 
Naim and Elac Adante, Wow
I honestly don’t get the animosity toward Audiotroy. He is obviously very passionate about the brands he carries. Why shouldn’t he be? That’s his profession, and he takes it very seriously.I, for one, find his posts very illuminating, albeit a lit...

I don't think anyone is trying to prove that DK is a better vocalist than the jazz legends like Sarah Vaugh, Nina Simone, etc. But the level of disrespect on display here (comparing her to someone's toenail, a lowly bar singer, cheap wine) is rath...

Just a quick update ... before posting an ad on audiogon,  I thought I'd give craigslist a shot. sold the amp for $1400 cash within 3 weeks of posting. once again, thanks to everyone for their wonderful advice.

audiotroy: the real question is that whether these Andrew Jones' designed speakers are giant killers or not? I'm sure they are excellent speakers at their respective price point, but to be honest I was a bit put off by so many shills on this site ...

What an interesting discussion! It's always refreshing to see those with less than mediocre talent in music become self-proclaimed defenders of musical excellence or whatever that is supposed to mean.Anyways, I am hoping that DK releases another a... 
Melody Gardot, Live in Europe
Her last album, Currency of Man, is my all time top 20 favorite. The first 6 tracks on the album are just out of this world.  
Diana Krall
Who cares whether DK has a classical voice or not. All I know is that she brings so much comfort and joy after a long hard day at work. I've been listening to her albums for 10+ years now. You can't have that kind of success and longevity if you'r...

Thank you for the great advice everyone. Looks like I just need to stop worrying and post the ad. Key points that I gathered from this thread:1. Clear and big pictures2. Rate conservatively (I’m thinking a 9) -- the unit is in flawless condition, ...

@daveselbow -- I'm using Roon for FLAC files. It also does gapless playback very nicely.
