after spending some time listening to different set-ups, specifically speakers, i boild down my speaker choices to the following:

1. Dali Concept 6
2. Dali Ikon 2
3. Triangle Titus ES or Triangle Comete ES
4. Triangle Heliade or Antal
5. Sonus Faber Concertino

i'm giving myself 2 more weeks to roam around and give these babies a listen, and then make a decision in time for the christmas holidays, yahoo!

superman,

is the list in order of preference? i hope you will be able to home audition them to really hear how they will sound in your listening room.

happy hunting ang wish you luck.
