*lol* This is quite the pot calling the kettle black

So says the guy with the avatar of an old guy wearing a hat

All I'm saying is lighten up. Most of the comments here were said light heartedly and then you have husbands of the year coming in here saying they can't believe the rubbish being said. All these political correctness is just sucking the fun and life out of everything.

For goodness sake, let's not get your panties in a bunch. I think my marriage is more than able to sustain a few small white lies. Some of the moral crusaders in here are ridiculous.

I think it's conditioning. First of all, she never fails to ask how much it costs when a new toy is brought home. Initially I mentioned the real price when she asked and her response was always something along the lines of "What, that much??". So following that, it became natural to knock at...

...and throw in the wires for free because how much could those have cost

The Kef R500 is already on the warmer side of neutral so pairing that with an amp on that same side may end up being too dark. Having said that, from your shortlist, I would go with the Unison. At least the sound is somewhat adjustable by changing tubes.

I like your title

I would also make sure that the new B&W CM series 2 should be on your audition list as well.

The new B&W CM10 S2 may well be a suitable speaker

And the flogging on double blind testing goes on and on, through bad limericks, long winded posts (take a bow, Dave) and boring anecdotes, but the dead horse has remained in the exact same spot since the last time I looked.

Geez, enough of the freaking blind testing already. Talk about flogging a dead horse. Get a life.

Totally agree with Davedotco. Could have just matched the Celestions with a nice old amp at 10% the price of the Devialet.

Or the SAM-able B&W CM10 that your dealer also appears to sell? Searching for the right speaker is quite an adventure and I don't think you have explored nearly enough what's out there. I'm quite sure there are many BAM!!!-worthy new speakers out there that your Devialet wouldn't regret waking...
