In need of advice on speaker choice
The house sound of KEF and JBL should be very different so visit dealers or check out reviews/owner feedback on these speakers as this should help.  
Considering Moving to an Integrated, Opinions Appreciated
I would seriously consider the Hegel. I didnt like the Peachtree stuff at all, but this is based on units that I heard years ago. I think with your speakers you should go with the higher powered Hegel units. If you could handle 2 components, I wou... 
The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
Hey dynaquest what exactly is "unearned" money?By the way, I dont feel there is ever any need to preface anything stated with an "in my opinion" as this is universally understood as a given.

Perhaps hearing the speaker first before posting would have been prudent. 
Confused and need help
I am not sure I would describe warm and full speakers as being accurate. Ayre is very good equipment but it is solid state and as such it may be a bit sterile/dry when compared with the best tube gear. The nice thing about tubes is that tube compo...
