Help buying fullrange speakers for $1500
Please look at the Annandale Acoustics A-25 XL2. We have a pair of demo's on Audiogon right now at $1,499. They are regularly $2,500. They have a 10" woofer which produces a very nice punchy tight bass response.

Adcom GFP-750 pre with Bryston 4BST amp works?
I cant answer that directly, but I hust hooked up an Audio Research LS-3 with my 4b and its a great combo. Better than the BP20/25 that I had. Great deal for 600-700$ 
Can you convert balanced inputs to RCA inputs help
Get the balanced buddy from Rane. Its a passive transformer, so you still have the benefits of the balanced line. 
Do you listen to your heart or your eye?
Is both really. You have to like the appearance of what you buy. Its like that with cars too. I recently listened to the Sophias and the Watt Puppys. I liked the look of the Sophias better, but the Watt Puppies sounded better to me and when the ch... 
Any non-box or non-black grey amplifiers?
The Nero amps are good and look very cool. 
Help selecting a preamp/processor please.
Why dont you just get a Rane Balanced Buddy for $125 if you want to convert the single ended output to balanced. It is a passive transformer and is used in recording studios. (Unless of course you WANT another processor). Most A/V preamps with bal...
