ARCAM vs ROTEL
I've had my Rotel RCD-1072 for about five years now, and it is truly a wonderful deck. It allows music to sound like music, and I never need to worry about anything other than enjoying my favorite tunes. 
Elevate Floorstanders to Ear Level?
Raise them up or tilt them up....... Two possible audible improvements that won't cost you a dime. Try 'em both and listen for any improvements. Enjoy ! 
What's the dif bewteen Vandersteen 2CE and 2CE Sig

I spent over an hour listening to the new Revel F-208's yesterday at Audio Breakthroughs in Manhasett, NY (thanks Stu !) .... Holy cow !!! These are incredible speakers. Balanced, coherent, beautiful, and just right. Perhaps an incredible bargain ...

Arcam FMJ A28 and A38 ....... I had an old Arcam Delta 90 integrated amp years ago, and really loved it. I'm sure the newest Arcam line sounds mighty fine.

I agree with Tpreaves....The Rogue Audio Cronus would be a great choice. Depending on your speakers and listening room, you may find the non-Magnum version to be perfect for you, or you may need the extra power of the Magnum. For me, the original ...

The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.
Hey Dave ..... eighteen years later, and still so much anger ??? Get over it man. Didn't you audition the speakers before you bought them ? If not, who's to blame ? 
The Worst Speaker you have ever heard.
Why are we re-hashing an old thread that's blatantly condemning some well respected speaker brands ? C'mon guys and gals.... in the spirit of the holidays, let's remember our parents' advice .... "if you can't say something nice, then don't say an... 
Totem Arro vs Revel Concerta F12
Revel F-12's......... They are fantastic speakers, and an absolute amazing value. Search here on Audiogon, and read my threads about them. I listened to them side by side with the Arro's during my long and enjoyable "search for new speakers" and o... 
Some Rega love.
My Rega P3-24/Exact 2/ TT-PSU is a beautiful analog front end within the context of my system. Sure, I could spend a lot more money for incremental improvements, but, "bang for the buck," the Rega P3-24 is a great turntable. 
Revel Performa 3
The Revel research and development is perhaps among the best in the industry. My Concerta F-12's are truly remarkable speakers, sounding far better than many speakers I have listened to at much higher price points. I had some music loving friends ... 
Tube Amp For Revel F52`s...?
FWIW..... My Revel Concerta F12's get along beautifully with my Rogue Audio Cronus (non-Magnum.) It's a great combination.
