Bookshelf speakers on a budget
If you can stretch the budget just a bit, I'd suggest taking a strong look at the Peachtree D5 at $599 a pair.  These used to sell for $799, and were a good bang for the buck then.  Very nice looking and decent bass for their size.  I'm really hap... 
looking for a stand mount speaker to match a s/s int amp.
You might want to give some consideration to the Peachtree D5 speakers.  They are apparently being closed-out and can now be had for $599.  They do well with more power, so your amp should work well with them.  Nice speakers with decent bass, and ... 
Best Monitor not over 1K, new ot used
+1 on the Peachtree D5 monitors.  Awesome sound, very good bass, high build quality, and the D5 in Cherry is exceptionally nice looking imo.  At $599, these are a sweet deal.

Is the WE 14ga speaker wire still available, and if so, can someone post a link?  Thanks. 
$800 to spend on speakers, $1500 on whole system
+1 on the Peachtree Nova recommendation.  For speakers, you should also strongly consider the Peachtree D5 bookshelf speakers.  Really decent bass, very good looking, and very underrated IMO.  They are $799, but are an additional $100 off if you b... 
Great Stands from A&M
Bad news at A&M. I just went to the A&M website and there is a message on the main page, posted yesterday, that says they are now closed until the first of October. They have some serious health problems going on, so say a prayer for them.... 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Whoops, my bad. It turns out he still has some listed. For some reason, I wasn't able to find it again earlier which made me think he was out of stock. But I did a ebay search for tajacobs listings and the cable was there. Sorry. 
Looking for really fine cables at really low price
Looks like the ebay seller tajacobs no longer has any listings for the WE 16g cable. Missed out on it unfortunately. 
Quad 12L Classic
Thanks. I decided to go with 5/16" spades on the SCs and banana to 5/16 spade on the jumpers. Hope to have the speakers here in about a week. Still need stands, but I can make do until I get some. Thinking Skylans, but haven't decided yet. 
Silverline Minuet "Supreme"
Besides being a really nice sounding speaker, they are very well built and look great also. 
Replace Kimber 4vs with...?
Thanks for the insight, Schubert. I decided to take a chance on the Libtecs after reading one of your posts recommending them on another thread, and then reading many positive comments on other forums. The pricing is certainly right, as I got both... 
Replace Kimber 4vs with...?
You might want to check out the Zu Audio Libtec cables that are available at the Zu Audio eBay store. They auction a couple of new 8ft. & 10ft. pairs each week, and these cable have been well recommended. I have a 10ft. pair coming that I got ... 
Any reviews/impressionsons of Ascend Sierra 2?
They sound very promising. After they've broken in, update us if you can on how they sound (especially the bass and if they would need a sub or not)and your overall thoughts on them. Thanks.
