Speaker recommendations 10 to 30k and no beryllium
B&W 800D3. 12 inch woofers with diamond tweeters (with protective screens). I've never heard the Joseph Audio's but people RAVE about them. Lastly, Volti Audio horn speakers -Like Klipsch but built by fanatics.Let us know what you go with... 
Any love for newer Krell amps?
I heard them at a 'Vegas T.H.E. show (around 2014) and liked them VERY much. Excellent solid-state amps.

I believe most Canadian companies take advantage of a government built anechoic chamber for testing. This may result in some commonality of sound. 
Any reason not to place stand mounted speakers upside down?
How about sideways? 
Items for sale without remotes.
How about: No remote AND no original box? Stolen? 
Your first system and your journey...

Just Curious - About using a AV Receiver as main unit
"quality AVR" is the key. The giants pop out crap because 90% of people think spending more than $500 for an AV receiver is foolish. My Onkyo full retail is close to $1800. For that much they can afford good parts. Don't worry about your topic. I'...
