Dead Bluesound Node 2
Exactly why I do not feel motivated to move beyond my CD's.  All that work, here today and gone tomorrow.  There comes a point when technology is the master and not the servant. 
Good 2 channel receiver
Don't cheap out.  Get the Outlaw and be happy.....for a long time.

Check out the Outlaw RR2160 receiver. Looks like an overachiever and a bargain. 
Magnepan 1.7 i - Amp suggestions
Regarding the Van Alstine 400R--tried that with the 1.7's years ago and sent it back.  On paper it looked to be a great match but in listening, I way preferred a Marantz integrated!  Was never able to relax and let the music wash over me in a way ... 
Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall
In my primary dedicated listening room, imaging was a priority.  So, yes, the speakers are well out into the room with perfect symmetry.  And the imaging is fantastic.In a second system I don't have the ability to position speakers much off the fr... 
I am Looking for That Elusive 3 Dimensional Room Filling Soundstage
The sound stage you desire is less a function of the equipment and more a function of how you set things up.  Your room is problematic in several ways, but I would suggest the following (which worked great in a 13x15 ft room I once had).  Place ra... 
Tekton Design's new THE PERFECT SET equals "goosebumps time"
@mac48025 Very much looking forward to your thoughts on this speaker Tom.  Suspect it will be a very nice match with your electronics and would not be shocked if it outperformed the SE's in some areas.  I like the idea  of your tubed gear driving ... 
High value, giant killer speakers?
Tekton. 
What loudspeakers do you have your Primaluna amp paired with?
agreed! 
What loudspeakers do you have your Primaluna amp paired with?
My PL Dialogue HP is paired with VSA VR-33.  It's a very nice combo.  Rich yet detailed, with very nice sound staging, I really enjoy this in a second system of mine.  The simple first order crossover works well with the HP.  While the VR-33 is ra... 
Tekton Double Impacts
@vidiot33       My hat is off to you--that's quite a read. Perhaps not War and Peace, but still an accomplishment.Many pages back there was an individual who had space issues and went with the Impact Monitors.  He actually bought a pair of REL sub...

I suspect with a tube amp, the 8 ohm version will afford a better match with less alteration of frequency response.Eric feels that the 4 ohm version is best suited to solid state amps. I would wonder if there might be a tad better dynamics/slam bu... 
Demo'd a few sets of speakers over the past 2 weeks...
Me thinks you have good ears.  Now do yourself a favor and order the DI's.  An in home demo is really the only way to make the ultimate call.  So your out return shipping.  We find ways to spend that sum for far less fun. Would be surprised if you... 
Tekton Double Impacts
To my knowledge, there are no published measurements.  I would expect the DI's to measure similarly to the monitors but with greater low end extension.  Will they reach their published sensitivity? Highly doubt it.  The vast majority of speakers d...

"I kept coming back to that superbly even on-axis response"You mean that measurement, right.
