Help me decide – Revel or Focal
imo, revel is at another level. but tbh, you really have to audition.but focal is imo overpriced comapred to revel. but I rate revel/jbl very highly 
Why are so many people trying to sell Harbeths?
harbeth are not overpriced at all compared to wilson audio, magico, ect.they may seem overpriced compared to revel f208/f206. anyone compared a harbeth to a revel f206/208?they are quite pricey but imo offer very special qualities. The only reason...

Anyone moved on from Harbeth C7es3?
I have heard the C7 and the SHL5 side by side. I personally prefered the C7's. I do prefer a more dynamic and fast response 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
ive had ref 3a decapo, an j lx, wilson cubs.the amphion one 18 will be my speaker for years to come. 
Bookshelfs budget is $ 2000.
Ive had ref 3a decapo and lsitend extensively to kef ls 50.for me, there no question, for weight, presence, tone, bass, imaging, the ref 3a is much better and can be had for 1.3k used 
Is $3000 pushing the limits for a geat monitor??
fwiw, I have had reference 3a decapo be, audio note anj lx, salk continuum, focals cms 50, wilson audio cubs (ive heard a couple of time), kef ls 50.the amphion one18 is, by a large margin, superior.

At kiko: for whatever its worth, you will find all the user at gearslutz who used to have spiral grooves anima (studio one) to prefer the amphion one18 once they made the switch! add them to your list to audition, you may be very happy as I think ...
