I have almost everything on my wish list - getting pretty close.
If my room was bigger, I'd have Tannoy Churchills and ditch the sub. I'm a huge fan of Metric Halo. The ULN-2 is 10 years old, and updated with their wonderful field-installable USB/Etnernet upgrade, replacing the Firewire they started out with. Am also a fan of Manley - their customer service is the best anywhere.
I got the EQ box to tame the mids & highs of the Tannoys just a bit, and add a little upper bass warmth for orchestral & opera recordings. It's a wonderful piece of gear and I learn something new every time I twiddle all those knobs. As this is wish-list stuff, I'd swap it out for the current Massive Passive with the switch-mode power supply.
