Magico A5 or Sonus faber SERAFINO TRADITION or Harbeth 40.3 XD
Harbeth is vastly overpriced. Thgeir crossover bares this out.  
I did the right thing after all.
The Wilson speakers I’ve heard were ok. Nothing special and especially nothing to warrant the hilarious prices they ask for them. The guy who runs Tekton seems like a jackass but I’ve yet to hear a speaker they make that didnt at least raise an ey...

the only thing heavy metal doesn't benefit from are republicans. 
Top 3 songs to evaluate a system
Gene Ammons "Hittin’ The Jug" (Bass texture, sax resonance, soundstage depth and image placement)Skinny Puppy "Knowhere" (dense mix, bass organization)M83 "Outro" (if it can make tears, its good)

Audio envy - dang!
I needed longer than those but thanks for the heads up @jackd i got a set in and really like them. I’m a happy camper. Now if I can get my phono stage built this century I’d be in business. 
RE: the question: ":Why do forum interactions become contentious". . .
If this was real life and not a forum of anonymous names it wouldn't be this way. Lots of forum tough guys here. In person they wouldn't say a word. 
Nagaoka MP-150 vs MP-200
