Can you get "bookshelf sound" from a floorstander?
I own a pair of Proac 2.5 They are a 2 way and very competent design that is rated 20 HZ to 30 Khz, nice small footprint and very musical. Almost like a good monitor but with floorstander bass and only 2 drivers.I had them on auction recently but ... 
Personal speaker evolution

Your input please: Using sub on 2 channel amp
I second Jimmdavis, I added a Rel Strata III to a pair of ATC SCM 12 recently and could not be happier. I always worried that adding a sub would take away from the main speakers in some way, but with the REL you can't tell it is there except when ...

Does anyone know?
Otherwise get a passive pre ( I use a Luminous Axiom with great results). 
great sounding cds to audition new speakers
Audiowoman, good low end bass too. I just added a REL sub to my monitors and after @ a year away from full range forgot that the Tracy Chapman CD has decent low's as well! 
great sounding cds to audition new speakers
Tracy Chapman "Tracy Chapman". One of the first CDs I bought and I know it SO WELL. I use track 4 (solo voice only dead center) to compare even the slightest changes such as interconnects etc. Good range and dynamics but not "audiophile".The key i... 
Which has greatest influence?
I am a hater of Pre-amps! after 20 years of playing around in this wonderful hobby I have learned that pre-amps have the highest potential of messing things up.Let's say you find your dream source, a great amp/speaker combination and a room that c...
