What other Hobbies or Interests Do You Have?
In the number one slot, of course, is music. But many other interests compete for time--recumbent biking 2-3k miles a year--cross country skiing in the winter (lousy snow year!)--fish keeping/breeding--landscaping--I do enjoy my Civic Type R (not ... 
Screw on banana/spade connectors
I would not hesitate a moment to use a ferrule/screw tight termination.  I feel this is a superior method to a soldered spade given the same metal make up of the spade.  I hope mr. millercarbon has removed the brass connectors on his speakers, amp... 
Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers?
@bob540    That would clearly be the best choice out of the Hsu line for both aesthetic and musical reasons.  Your room does sound a bit tight, so you clearly would have issues with placing larger cabinets.  It's hard to predict where your subs wi... 
Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers?
Mr. ContuzziYou are missing the point.  I am sure your subwoofer is bigger than mine.  But the OP is looking for an affordable sub.  Not yours--whatever it may be.  Why would you even post on this thread?  Oh, guess I already answered that. 
Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers?
Of course there are "better" subs.  But the OP has a budget.  I would also take the above comments with a grain of salt.  The older series models do not perform at the same level as current models.  Also, I much prefer a sealed design for music at... 
Speaker cable recommendations in my budget
A cable that is often overlooked is the Supra line.  They have geometry similar to the Canare cable note above but I believe the materials of the Supra cables are superior.  An easy DIY project.  Suggest high quality terminations that are pressure... 
Whatta Ya Think About Hsu Research Subwoofers?
I also have a pair of ULS-15's in my main system.  I think these sealed subs offer very high quality bottom octave coverage for music.  Some might think that with Tekton DI's you wouldn't need subs--but not me!  I am not about an excess of bass.  ... 
Guest suddenly takes it upon herself to move my speakers
Years ago in a small dedicated audio room I had a pair of monitors I had lovingly built, precisely perched on their shot filled stands.  My wife and neighbor friend came down to have a listen and then broke out into a dance. There was a lot of rec... 
Axe to grind know it alls
It's simple.  These individual's are like a toddler having a screaming fit.  Responding to them is fuel to the fire.  Ignore them and they move on to someone else whose chain they can yank. 
Streamers and bit rot.
CD's 
Smooth sounding integrated
Marantz PM8005 used or 8006 new.  Smooth, detailed, dynamic, excellent build quality.  Would match up well with your Silver 6. 
You are invited on a "trip down memory lane".
@o_holter    If you REALLY miss those A25's Madisound has a nice kit to make a similar but better performing speaker.  Check it out. https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/2-way-speaker-kits/seas-a26-10-2-way-kit-pair-based-on-the-classic-a25/  
Tekton Double Impacts
Glad you are happy with the combo tony.  Looks like you did some listening into the early hours!  One real bonus of the DI's is the latitude they afford in choice of associated gear and the ability to fine tune things to your liking.After many yea... 
Small room amp and speakers recommendation
  Have to admit, Mr. crusty's thoughts on the DIY fest with the Akitika gear makes me want to get out my soldering iron! 
Small room amp and speakers recommendation
Take the Parts Express Solstice, add a used 9/10 belles aria, and you have a lot of $$$ for the front end and goodies.  No way to be disappointed in this combo
