Russ,Yes the RCA LC9As should be quite nice when they're completed! You're right about Paul too. I managed to trade for a pair of his modded pre-1990 TAD 2001's.
Where I'm really lucky is in being a member of the CFAS (Central Florida Audio Society) we have members like Roger Russell who used to design speakers for McIntosh. Paul and one other member are profession recording engineers. Then there's Dr. Bob Hoekstra who's a professor at University of Central Florida. Dr. Bob is the same guy who builds the "Hoekstra" motors for the NASCAR and other Racing Teams. Prior to his motor career, Bob owned and operated recording studios for more than 20 years. His Axiom amp design is sold via Chimera Labs (see link) these and some others in the group are very knowledgeable. We run the gauntlet of Objectivist to Subjectivist and every type of topology of component you can think of. I love talking audio with these guys. It's nothing like trying to discuss differing POVs here.
The RCA's should really be nice when I'm done and being one of only somewhere between 100-300 pairs ever made, they should be worth a pretty penny as well. It's funny that you mention the Stibbert being the cat's meow. Believe it or not I chose every piece based strictly on my own opinion. None of them were even reviewed when I bought them. I don't know if the Mastersound has ever been reviewed, but I've read reviews of the CDP and speakers and agree with the reviewers assessment of them. My own system isn't perfect I can certainly fault it, yet at the same time overall it's the best system I've ever heard in anyone's home, IMHO that it. I can find points (like better bass, or better dynamics etc) in other friends systems that I prefer, but no one system in it's entirety where I would trade my system for their system.
