Yamaha NS5000
I suppose I should have asked what others are finding out about the speakers, does the bass fatten up over time? how far do you place them from first reflection points, do you angle them so the drivers are aimed at ear height, stuff like that will... 
BW 803 D2 // Diamond Tweeter
The distributor for your area should be able to fill your order and sometimes get a replacement for dealer cost.  
Any experiences good or bad using Uship?
bump, I looked into uship and got the impression it was done by folk moving themselves and looking to save some $$$. I'd probably use them for a standard size component, but like missioncoonery says, not pro's.  
Speakers sound too bright.
lol, until we hear different he's happy with the Dali's  
Need Recommendation for Coffee Shop
find a clean pair of bose 901 VI you can hang from the corners.  
Speakers for leading edge, transients, speed and big sound
there's so many really great used speakers in that price range provided you have an additional budget to buy amps that compliment the speakers.   If the $20-30k is your entire budget it would help us to know what you're using for source and how ... 
Tidal Akira
Is Tidal the brand that uses Accuton ceramic drivers? I think I tread they need serious amps to sound good, something about the drivers being stiff and difficult to drive.  
Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7
Looking forward to your findings.  
Revel F36 or Dali Oberon 7
I usually don't care for either Revel or KEF unless I throw a crapton of watts at them. The Oberon line isn't going to win any science fair awards, but they do bring more fun to the music.

I've heard the D1.2 set up really wide apart with direct toe in and a shallow seating position and was amazed with the sound. There was 1 time I got to listen to the D2.? and they were set up more conventionally in a listener triangle a few feet f... 
Which amplifier
I own Mac amp and pre, but damn that Accuphase kit is pretty!   
McIntosh MC611 vs Parasound JC5
I had the A21 amp and it did add some chestiness to Leonard Cohen's voice. ffw several components and the mc611's are driving a pair of KEF Blades. As always I have to recommend getting a demo with the intended speakers, but I'm into my 3rd year w... 
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
True we tend to assume everyone responding to this thread knows what dsp stands for, but our op is pretty clear what he wants to hear from us or he probably would have asked ‘what is dsp?’  
What are your opinions of DSP's for speakers
I bought a pair of dsp 8000’s after getting frustrated trying to get a quality system completed. Without the means or experience to match speakers and components to my room while trying to stay in budget was driving me mad.    I remember my first... 
is McIntosh known for good dynamics?
I can appreciate that!
