Thanks, artur9, and all the others who replied. Yes, I am enjoying the Rubies, I just wish I knew if I would enjoy them much more if I had different speakers. The B&W 804s still sound good to me, maybe because I have had them for 20 years and it is the sound I know. But could I do better without breaking the bank? Unfortunately, in the central Florida area there are very few places to audition speakers. There's Best Bite which is fine for some stuff, but nothing there for this upgrade. I decided on the Rubies after reading a ton of reviews, all of which were enthusiastic, and for the price ($6,000 for both) they seemed like a good deal. Certainly I could have spent more, but how much better for how much money - the eternal question, right? But purchasing speakers based on reading reviews seems a lot riskier. I've always been able to audition speakers (in a show room) and I'm just not comfortable buying new speakers based on reviews. Oh well.
