New Bluetooth Jolida Glass FX Tube DAC III W
I have a fusion pre/dac that I purchased from morrow in may. For the money I think its a great all in one solution. Although I do not use the blue tooth capabilities my wife does and loves the ease if it. I purchased it because I had to simplify m... 
Peachtree Audio Deepblue 2
Hopefully that has been rectified, for the price I couldn't resist. My daughter needs something for college and the other is for my wife's office. Sorry bud :). 
Desktop speakers for mixing AND music?
Put adams on your list as well. 
Bookshelf speakers $500 -$700
I agree get some actives and ditch your amp. 
Peachtree Audio Deepblue 2
I bought two and plan to give them away as Christmas presents this year. I can't think of a better gift for a college student. I have owned Peachtree products in the past and they offer a great bang for the buck IMHO. 
Bookshelf speakers for Peachtree Nova125
Ive had the D5's in a bedroom system and they were great with an original Nova. However I would try the Clue monitors for sale on here as they are supposed to work well placed near a wall and come highly recommended by many members.

I don't believe anyone on here is advocating the op go in and waste the salesman's time. In my experiences with shops most of the time store is empty and if the sales staff is busy I wait until they are finished before I ask questions. Most often ...

Weird I have a pair of Sound Field Audio M1 outfitted with the uniq driver from kef and do not find them to be harsh at all. In a nearfield set up they are incredible.

No offense Bcgator but you just contradicted yourself by comparing Ruth's Chris and Applebees. That's like suggesting enthusiasts avoid spending money at Radio Shack and spend it at Best Buy instead. Unless of course you were kidding in which case...

I have a question....if your local audio shop offered leasing would any of you be interested? I know I would and I have often wondered why this isn't a common practice in the B&M's.

Here's the thing though....when I go into the HiFi shops the sales staff as well as the owners are more often than not aloof and apathetic unless you tell them you are planning on making a purchase. That's insane. The equipment is on display for a...
