Best "on wall" speakers
I have a pair of Legacy Harmonys. I really like these speakers. They are meant for in/on wall installation, but mine are mounted on wall.You can buy the mounting boxes from Legacy, but they're $700. Kinda steep! I made my own (I have a woodshop) f...

Analog under 2k?
OK, but if I go 3k, am I better off with a Teres or a Hyperspace with Space arm? There's one here for 2900. Then all I need is a good cartridge. 
Analog under 2k?
The new quetion that arises now is: Should I stick with the EAR, or go with a Modwright unit? DAn has 2 in the classifieds now. Which will offer more versatility? THe other TT option is an Audio NOte TT3 in the classifieds.Joe
