Seeking full range single driver speaker recs
Try Creative Sound in Canada. They sell the Jordan driver and have links to DIY designs. The Tang Band W3-871s may be better and there are line arrays such as done by Jim Griffin with this little 3".Creative Sound 
Am I the only one who thinks B&W is mid-fi?

Comments on Fanfare FM-2G - FM Antenna

Bookshelf Speakers:500-900$CDN Advice for starter?
I would suggest Acoustic Energy or maybe Jamo if your Pioneer is bright. A-E is an easy load, designed for budget receivers, and gets rave reviews in British press.
