Joe, I think you just need a little prep for throwing the focals around.... you can come over my house and help me move mine
 
Joe, your next pair of speakers!

Just take it slow and go listen. You have to live with them not us. You have a great pair of speakers coming in soon, so get a feel for what they can do with all of your amps and then decide on a compliment. Should take you until the end of the year at least to find what you are looking for and can live with. Musical enjoyment first, cost and reputation from reviewers second. Also your room will dictate a lot of it. We all have our opinions of what sounds good to us, but only yours counts.
 
Thanks Jack. You are 100% right. I actually think I am going to LOVE the 40.1's. Hopefully 2-3 more weeks. They will be the anti-TADs :). I think they will fill up my room nicely and give me the midrange and top end that I am looking forward to hearing. I am in no rush and now with all the new gear coming out, it will give me more options.

I think you will like the Harbeths too. Just for fun you might still want to take a "day trip" to Amherst and visit Bob Neil, if for nothing else but to talk speakers. He went from Spendor to Harbeth and then to Reynaud/Audio Note and then became the Reynaud North American distributor. As Myles can tell you, Bob has a good ear and knows what he likes reputation or cost aside. A day listening to what he has "in-house" might make you see where you want to go next. If you find you "LOVE" the Harbeth sound, then your next step will definitely not be to the Magico, Raidho, Wilson side of the line. It will be something in the middle like the SF's, Vandersteens or back to the Revel's. Whatever it is, enjoy the journey and listen first and spend/buy second.
 
Taking a bit different route- based on your room and penchant for low level listening, you need a very efficient speaker with simple crossover. A few I would look at are the Devore O96s, Zu Definitions, Vapor, and the Voxativ of course. Perhaps Evo Acoustic as well.

I find the Tannoys pretty colored in a vintage fashion fwiw.
 
Joe : if you really LISTEN to the 40.1, you won't need anything else.

Wow! Can I play?

I do have Harbeth 40.1's coming in a few weeks but those will not be a final destination speaker. I don't plan on selling them so any other speaker will be in addition to the 40.1's and Cornwalls, which by the way are fabulous.

I have been lighting prayer candles weekly hoping Joe would see the light and spin the vinyl.
