Quicksilver Mono 120 vs. Quicksilver V4
I have heard the original v4 that were 135 w or something like that and they are great .  Would love to hear the 120's.... I am sure they are great.  The new 60 watt Quicksilvers are more my speed.  I own a pair of Mid Monos and would buy another ...

Buy 12ax7 tube

KEF LS50 or Wharfedale Reva 2 -- which would you buy?
I don't know where there is even a Wharfdale dealer in New England but I have heard that their new lines are pretty good.  But I have heard the LS 50 and it is one of the best values out there.  Not everyone loves them but I have owned a number of... 
Which area of components to spend the most $ on? Boy I was wrong all my life!
This was a great thread, I had replied earlier but it never posted.....  I believe the source and preamp are for most people the most important items in the chain.  Speakers are obviously important ,  but I have had many speakers that sounded mark...
