What used speaker would you buy with $20,000-$35,000 and why?
If not the Linkwitz Orion's or LX521s, or the Pure Audio Project open baffle speakers - which very few speakers can match... And I could only accept a "big name" brand (though pricey)... I would consider only the Nola speakers in your price range.... 
Synergistic Red Fuse ...
Here’s the AH site: http://www.audio-horizons.com/pages/fuse.htmlI recently purchased the AH Platinum Ref fuse for my AR Ref 3 preamp. I do agree the preamp sounds superb with this fuse!But... it also sounds superb with the fuse that came in it - ... 
Anyone Ever Heard of "Sonus Fidelity" Speakers????
I would suggest Audiogon... offer some kind of warning for any seller who has no history on Audiogon, since many Audiogon novices might be tempted to purchase from such a seller, or simply might overlook the extra care that should be taken when pu...

Back to it - Practical speaker upgrade
If it weren’t for the WAF, I would suggest you will find it impossible to obtain better sound than you can obtain with the Linkwitz Audio LX521 Open Baffle Speakers - very few speakers, if any, sound better. There was a pair with the crossover and...

Regarding the Linkwitz speakers... even after hearing the various YouTube videos of them... I was a bit of a skeptic... until... I got my Orions driven by a good set up.Now... I'm a believer!  There are very few speakers that can match them (Orion... 
Linkwitz Lab Loundpeaker baffle
The proof is in the listening...Once you’ve heard either the Orions or LX521s you’ll understand... and your search will end!

Here's what one Orion owner said about his Linkwitz Orions on the Madisound site:"Orion 4 Madisound/Wood ArtistryThe most important thing I can say is that this is the best loudspeaker I have ever heard in my life for reproducing natural acoustica...

Here’s a pair of the Linkwitz LX521’s with the ASP and multichannel amp - ready to go. I almost bought them... but... already had the Orions and couldn’t justify the expenditure for another set of Linkwitz speakers. Not sure the guy has sold them ...

I must agree with Russbutton, above... very few speakers at any price can best the Linkwitz Orions or LX521s, when properly set up.  You get the sound of the best planar speakers with superb dynamics and bass.  And... my second choice would be the... 
Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software?
Oh yes... I would not use any "computer" as a music server - they're not desiged for that purpose and will give you inferior sound (too much electronic interference and noise).  Get a real music server from an audio company that specializes in the... 
Going to rip 2000 cds. Which software?
I use dBpoweramp CD Ripper on my HP Pavilion Notebook PC's.  It works well, has all the "bells and whistles," and is one of the highest rated applications for ripping CD's to files.  You can choose any file format, but I use FLAC, because it's typ... 
Who tried Class D only to return to S/S or Tube
Have to agree with "georgelofi" - the "ClassDAudio" (brand) SDS-470C is superb and rivals any "hi-end" amp... after burn in and left on and warmed up.  Though, I do vacillate a bit between my JC-1's, Atma-Sphere M60's, and the SDS-470C.  Depending... 
Has anyone compared the Orion loudspeaker to other
I must agree with 01-17-07: Ojgalli - nothing is better for the money!Though, the WaveTouch Audio Grand Teton standmount monitors are "damn' close!" And - just a huge "giant-killer" kind of bargain! 
Has anybody had experience with the Orions?
Yes... I have the Orion's... and... in a word - "Supreme!"But, you must be able to live with their somewhat ugly appearance (compared to others with great cabinetry), as well as their multi-channel amplifier demands. I found those compromises to b...
