Downsizing from tower to bookshelf
I have two of the speakers mentioned above in two systems, the Proac and the Audio Note. Both are exceptional speakers and give you what you are looking for. I find the audio note for vocals, jazz, and blues is outstanding!

Sad day. Grateful I had the chance to see him play 200+ times. His bass playing on Eyes of the World always mesmerizes me.

How do I get a job as a headphone reviewer?
If I were you would go to head-fi.org and take a look around if you haven’t done that already. Headphones dedicated site that often times ask for reviewers, mostly voluntary, but still get you a foot in the door. Hope that helps.  
Searching for a little more warmth
I think Audio Note speakers would make an incredible difference in your system if they are to be placed in the corners of your room. That is the setup I run using the AN-E/LX HE SIG and the sound is amazing, I use a pair of Synthesis mono blocks t...

Easy access to manual downloads.   
Customs delay from China. How long should I reasonably wait?
Relax.  Packages from China are being more thoroughly inspected due to counterfeit items and illicit drugs being sent to the US.  I have had packages caught in customs from China which the manufacturer has re-shipped that arrived months after the ... 
Florida -- Audio Equipment Movers?
