Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners
I have to say I'm also a huge fan of "Hissing". Love the fretless bass and the dreamy atmospheric sound. 
Joni Mitchell Blue - Wow help me Agoners
Just popping back--I just received and listened to the new Kevin Gray and Steve Hoffman mastered Blue on Rhino Vinyl. Absolutely to die for. Must more realism and detail with the new version. On my old standard Warner Bros. issue Joni's voice coul... 
Audiogon speaker wire gurus, please help me
Without mentioning any brands I would have to caution you about spending that kind of money on speaker cable. I think the money can be better spent either elsewhere in your system or by dropping $500 on some really good wire and giving the rest to... 
The Best Midrange in the World Right Now
I agree, get the midrange wrong and the rest cannot hold it all together. That's why it took me 2 years to find a speaker to replace my Harbeth Compact 7's--they don't do everything but they absolutely get the midrange right. Other than the Harbet... 
Are you at this point??
Yeah, I'm done. Wanna sell me your XPS2 so I can mate it with my CDX2? Oops, there I go again. Forget I said that.

Harbeth C7 vs Proac D25 Review
Very interesting--I'll look for the D28.

Thanks, Soundwatts! 
Movies that featured High End equipment
I happened to tune in for a minute to a new show called "Kings of Something or other". They were planning to kidnap or rob Mick Jagger. They did a brief excerpt from one of those "Let's see Mick's crib" shows and Mick was showing off his home thea... 
For the vinyl enthusiasts
Soundwatts--can you give an address and phone for Flipside. I'm a Jersey resident and haven't heard of it. It would be nice to check out a new venue. Thanks. 
Replacement for Proac Response 3's
It is my understanding that the foam surrounds on the Response 3's are prone to degradation over time. You can do a costly replacement, try to find replacement woofers (matched?) or buy new speakers. 
Replacement for Proac Response 3's
How about the new D38's? They are a little smaller, can be positioned closer to the wall due to the bottom cabinet vent and sound better than the Response 3's without being a whole new sonic signature. 
Comparison of Thiel CS2.4 vs. Vandersteen 3A Sig.
While ancillary equipment is important I don't think you can change the fundamental characteristics of either of these speakers. Thiel's = cool, dry, analytical, revealing. (Not a "harsh" word here for them). Vandersteen 3A Sigs = warm, lush, invo...
