When I was in Missoula in the early 90's one of the members of Pearl Jam had a place just outside of town. It was a real popular place with the college ladies. As if competitions wasn't tough already, maybe that pushed the animal husbandry laws  o... 
$3500 floor standing speakers used. What would be your choice ?
A nice combo would be the Devore Nines, the original, not the new Super Nines. They lack a little transparency compared to the newer ones but it your not needing the last bit of resolution (which you won't get at $3500) keep your eyes open locally...

If any of you are on Facebook there's a site called Where In Montana Is this- Has some interesting photos and some simple local commentary. This pops up occasionally in between speakers and tube amps.

I'd agree with the above statistics. Missoula is a college town with lots of outside influence but  beautiful place to live (like lots of smaller towns once were).  Work as I recall was very competitive because it was a place where people wanted ...

I lived in Missoula for a while, that was a great time!  
Harbeth P3ESR question (tongue in cheek (I think) but maybe not)
Give them a few weeks of break in once you move them lol.

If you swap them, they will both be on the outside, I think that's how my 7's were.  
JBL 4349 or Klipsch Cornwall IV
The Klipsch speakers are fun but beware that if you like to trade gear the packaging is cheap which leads to local pickup and local pricing. For instance I sold me Forte IV's for just $2600 locally. I wasn't going to trust shipping them is those c... 
Verity Audio Amadis Owners, Listener Impressions?
This thread is like 15 years old. Hopefully the guy is still healthy.  
Looking for a simple system
I've never heard the other but did own the Studio II. It's an interesting speaker that I ran with a Coda Csib 150 wpc. The speaker is very power hungry because it uses, I believe, a subwoofer for the bass and mids. I've never seen someone run a su... 
Which Harbeths?
I owned the C7 es3xd for a while and can vouch it is a great speaker. When people say Harbeth's can play your favorite songs and make them sound great, believe it. There is a clear window into the music and it only wants to make you turn the volum... 
Subs?
In my experience you have to spend upwards of $20,000 to get the kind of speaker that has nice 30Hz and below bass. Most do okay with 40 plus so for me a sub is a good addition. Even with much more expensive speakers that reach deeper I want a sub... 
Pass INT-25, split decision and maybe option?
Did the shop you borrowed it from have the same problem? Are you going to track down another one to listen to?  
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
Yes back together and looking at Totem in wall speakers lol.  
Mullard EL34 that sounds best
The Avatar is a great amp. The new stock Mullards are very nice sounding tubes IMO compared to most. Do a google search and try to place the reviews of different tubes to your preferences.
