Then consider ascend sierra or kef ls50. 
Can you use powered monitors to a peachtree inova?
Use the variable preout to the monitors. Never heard the air motive but Adams are great. You can get some at guitar center and audition for 30 days. 
Sjofen The Clue speakers
Rebbi this reminds me of a story that a friend of mine who is a speaker designer shared with me recently. Back when he showed at CES years ago a reviewer for a major audio rag went into his room and was over the moon about the sound. Subsequently ...

Life after ADS
It wasn't always a/d/s/ in fact I think the best speakers they made were back when it was ADS. 
Life after ADS
Actually I wanted to try something new that offered similar dynamics of the 1530 in a smaller room. I found that in the sound field audio m1. I do still own a few pairs of ads speakers but haven't even thought about hooking them up since I got the... 
Bookshelfs budget is $ 2000.
I would suggest you go out and listen to as many speakers as you can. Without knowing your room or the rest of your system it will be tough to make a solid recommendation. In the past I bought and sold a bunch of monitors to audition which was a l...
