Very small bookshelf speakers / system
Heard the Denon DF101S Micro System and it's not a bad sounding system at all. Also, Denon has been making quality audio products for quite some time so if was me, I would probably go that route. Other than that, I think NAD makes a couple of CD/R... 
Need new speakers
Have heard that Polk LSI series of speakers might not be as "tube friendly" as other speakers. Something about they "really like solid state". 
Do your speakers have the clap?
Q. Do your speakers have the clap? A. What to worry about when buying "ported" speakers used. ;-) 
Help I have a radio in my tweeter
Itball,In any case, if it is a "Ham operator", and you can find out who it is, go talk to the guy. Most of the time, if there is a problem, they will try to help you find a way to take care of the interference. Truth be told, most "Ham operators" ... 
Help I have a radio in my tweeter
Wonder if you have a "Ham" amateur radio operator in your neighborhood? Sometime if they don't adequately shield their transmitter you can pick up the "transmissions" through your equiptment. If it is a "ham", and you can determine who it is, then... 
Any way to mod the TAD-803's ?
Rob,Just my .02 cents here, but have you contacted Paul Grzybek yet? Since he's the speaker designer perhaps he might be the person to talk to about your issues with your TAD-803 and which mods to make that would "heavier" music less jumbled.

Unable to audition used speakers a problem
Interesting discussion and good points made by both buyer and seller. I'm actually looking for another pair of speakers and would like to buy used (and local) and being as such would appreciate hearing said speakers, but if that's not possible, at...

How high is your soundstage?
Tboooe,No doubt, that nook is causing the "soundstaging" problem. You might want to try placing your speakers outside of the nook and see what happens. Had a friend who used to play in a band, and in one of the places they used to play, the stage ... 
Talon-New owner-NO customer service
Hate to say it, but I think in this situation, it's all about Robyatt. I think Rives was pretty upfront about what was needed to repair the subwoofer amp, and I think that they were willing to do it at cost, but apparently, that wasn't good enough... 
Speaker stand design - Is this a good idea?
One more thing you might want to remember, is that British speakers such as Harbeths and Spendors, usually sound better on "open frame" types of speakers stands. Just something to keep in mind when designing your stand.
