Anyone Successfully Go from Floor Standers to Bookshelf Monitors w/ Subs?
I would suggest a pair of speakers that are designed to be put into the corners of the room. The Audio Note AN-E/LX HEMP might work for you. I realize that these are not bookshelf speakers nor would you need a subwoofer, but being that they are ...

TEAC NT-505 FUNCTIONAL REVIEW
I also have the NT-505 and love the unit although I had the rear Network plug/connection fail and had to send the unit back for warranty repair work. The TEAC was fixed, no cost to me, and now works as good as new. I did not have the patience for ... 
SET vs Class A vs tubes vs Class AB amps
