Reimer Wind River GSs
I've heard the Wind Rivers and have owned the larger Tetons for about 6 months. There are a few of us Teton owners here in Audiogon who have commented on them in other discussion threads - always extremely favorably. While the Wind Rivers may seem... 
Anybody heard Reimer Teton speakers?
I've had my Tetons for about 6 months, and average only about an hour of listening a day, so I feel that they are just now getting close to being "broken in." I'm liking them more and more, the more I listen to them. They are, IMO, in a word, phen... 
Better SS amp than my Bryston?

suggestion for a multi channel pre/amp please
Consider the Audio Refinement Pre-5 (5.1-channel pre-amp, for two front/main, one center, and two rear channels + subwoofer) and Audio Refinement Multi-5 (5-channel power amp, 125 wpc). Used units from Audiogon would get close to your budget. Audi... 
Your ''best kept secret'' speaker choice ?
Reimers. For less than $4000, the Wind Rivers are amazing in every respect, and for less than $6000 the Tetons are that much more so. If you can manage a way to hear them, do it!
