And another 948 with tweeter problems. I don't play my music terribly loud but the close up photos I've seen of those tweeters make them look not very robust. It's such a highly rated speaker but I'm getting very leery about purchasing them and then having to get replacements from France.

Well, April/May is usually performance bonus time here
. Guess I'll play around with my current setup some more and see how much doe I have to play with. Next Best Thing Studio (Youtube) linked to some nice
acoustic panels from Ukraine. That might help to tame the highs and then I can replace my sub. It's been acting weird. Usually have the power set to Auto, but the output was getting lower and lower. I had to unplug it from the wall to reset the electronics so now I am switching it manually.
I've been looking in the $5k Cdn ($4k US) range which would get me mid-tier Paradigm towers, Prestige or Founder. So tempted to go the extra $1k to $2k as that would take me to what I consider the next level. I think my ideal would be a pair of Salks with the RAAL tweeter, like the
Silk tower or the Canadian made
Totem Tribe, which is nice and compact and well suited to the size room I have. Might need to check the impedance curve on the Totems though as they are 4 ohm.
