All in One amp up to $7k
@russ69 and @fastfreight hear you on separates. that is what I have now. I have 2 amps- a Vincent SV200, small footprint, belies the ratings, hybrid. It just rocks my 2 speakers. The other is a Gato AMP 150 AE. Again an excellent amp and it should... 
???What's The LEAST Expensive "End Game"Amplifier You've Ever Heard???
@jl35 agree on the Gato Amp 150. Have it and love it. Though I would love if a DAC was also included. @akg_ca agree. My own recommendation would be much cheaper than all here - Vincent Audio SV200. A small/petite hybrid amp. Its size and power r... 
Qualio IQ owners, still happy?
thanks @ozzy62 I don't use the Akitika with the IQs. Either the Gato or I have a smaller amp- Vincent SV200. Doesn't satisfy your criteria- though I love the amp. Hybrid- lovely sweet sound. Belies it size.

@ozzy62  how does one figure out if an amp is high current? I have a Gato AMP 150 and an Akitika GT102 Z4.

@lanx0003 yes those measurements correspond to my listening experience. The IOs are not that good in bass. Superb for vocals as I mentioned earlier.  A few minutes ago I received another speaker- Axxess L3. Beautiful. Huge on bass. I have just lis...

@ozzy62  the IQs are good, very good. Great to listen too. The Klipsch are too- though a bit harsh.  haven’t done much listening last few days. Waiting for the weekend. Looking forward to the Rethms too.

Dynaudio Evoke 20 vs. Totem Signature One vs. Acoustic Revival Adalante 3
@grislybutter haven't heard most of the ones you put out there- but have owned the Gato FM15 (and their PM6). Sold both of them last week to make place for 2 other speakers. I have listened to, and bought and sold a few speakers- the FM15 are the ...

I got my speakers last weekend- regular IQ with Gaia II feet as per the recommendation of @ozzy62  They arrived 2 days after another set of speakers came in (Omega Junior XRS). The Omegas moved to another system and the IQs are running against/wit... 
Amplifier recommendation
I am going to throw in 4 to the mix. All different: 1. Gato Audio. To get to the budget you have look at their DIA 250. Used. This is class D. I have their AMP150 - Class AB. From Denmark. 2. Hegel. Again for your budget I would say H390. I thin... 
High end bookshelf speakers for Small room
I am digressing- but any views on the Hegel H590? I might be able to get one for a decent price. regards, Manu
