Recommendation for Integrated Amp w/ Big Sound
I'd say one of the best you can find in that price range would be the Creek 5350SE. Almost as good as a Creek Destiny. If you could jump up and you are looking for big and bold then the Krell s300i would definitely fit the bill. I recently got one... 
Advice on monitor/bookshelves under $2,000
Personally if I were you I would look for a better amp. I'm not surprised you didn't like the B&W with that amp. No matter how good of speaker you get it won't produce magic driven by a mid grade surround receiver. I'm not a theatre guy but if... 
what cables for Krell 300i and Revel M20 suggest
I got the Krell integrated. Holy crap what a huge upgrade from the Creek 4330 I had hooked up temporary. I cannot believe how much better this things sounds. This is my first Krell. I cannot understand what all the Krell hating is all about there ...

what cables for Krell 300i and Revel M20 suggest
I ended up grabbing a set of Grover Huffman speaker cables I saw listed. I have those in my main rig and they are super value cables. Chayro, I might just try the cheap blue jeans cable. I think it would be a good point of reference for me. I've h... 
Looking for integrated amp with phono for starter
I'd get the creek destiny if you could find one. 
Replace Silver interconnect cable , please advice
I would guess it probably has to do with your speaker placement over anything else. That is really good gear you have there. Your source is probably the weak link if you have one. Acoustic Zen Silver ref is a good cable. It's not the problem at le... 
24/192 Music Downloads and why they make no sense
I don't care that much about what someone can measure and say that things can't possibly sound good because that is what the measurements say. We've been through this a million times before, just look at the cable debates for proof. It seems that ... 
Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers
The destiny had great bass with the M20s just a little looser than the sim. I would have to play it loud I mean not ear splitting but loud anything louder and you'd have to shout to hear someone talking over the music. The destiny is a very magica... 
PS Audio PWD run directly or use a preamp
I just spent a few days going back and forth with and without an Innersound ref preamp vs ps audio PWDAC II direct to Innersound DPR ref 500 amp. My conclusion. It sounds better with the preamp. It's a little more transparent without but the pream... 
Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers
I have the Revel M20s and have also used them with the Creek Destiny and Sim audio i5.3. Both are great. I was using the M20s in a medium sized bedroom. The Destiny I think produced the sound I like the best just got it right no real fireworks to ... 
Wireless Speakers?
The xeos sound great and are a great deal considering you get everything you need. Remember you do have to plug each one into power so of course that has to be figured into their placement. 
choose a Rack to complete my system
I'd say Grand Prix Audio that is the best I've heard or owned though now I know there are a lot of other options out there. You could spend a lot on just a rack, though it can make a huge difference. Probably I think you don't have to spend that m... 
Looking for $1500-2500$ speaker system
YOu need to spend more on the amp than 500 if you want this to sound good in my opinion. I would definitely add 1000 to your 500 set aside for amplification and go with 1500 speakers, you will get way more satisfaction in the long run this way. Fi... 
Meridian 508 20 Service Needed
I find that very disturbing that Meridian won't fix a 4000 CD player that they sold only 10 or so years ago. I would give pause to buying anything Meridian if that is the kind of attitude they have to a customer that laid that kind of cash out for...
