Thank you Tholt. I'm looking at picking up the Aurieges myself. I don't listen to as much rock as I did 20 years ago but I still have a library of music from that time and every now and then some old Stones, Marley or Petty is fun.

Altec 19/Valencia - Room Size
Had my 19's in a 16 x 24 x 9 room with good results. The 19's need a little room for the drivers to integrate. I sat 10' from the front of the speaker with the back wall 3-4' behind them. I've heard of good results in smaller spaces also. Good luck. 
Acoustic Zen Adagio: How far from the wall?
Using my Adagio's with Musical Fidelity KW-500 integrated.Very nice match. Smooth and articulate. Will play compression free at levels much higher than needed. 
Acoustic Zen Adagio: How far from the wall?
My Adagio's are 5' from front wall, 4' from side walls, with 8' between speakers. 5-10 degrees of toe-in, 10' from speaker to listening position.
