Opinions of Reference 3A speakers
I own a pair of the Decapos. Reminds me of a pair of Martin Logan CLS that I once owned. Im sure the crossoverless design has much to do with it.The Refs 3a, due to their efficient design, will let you explore the wonderful worlds of OTL, SE or an... 
Recomended speaker cable - Soliloquy 5.3
Biwire with Analysis Plus cables. AP cables are also recommended by Soliloquy. 
Cables for Cary SLI80 and Soliloquy 5.0
I understand soliloquy recommends Analysis Plus for their speakers. I was very happy the the Oval 9s when i had a pair of 5.3s 
Aurex CD mat
I cant say I heard any improvemnet with the mat but what it did do was help prolong the use of my old Sony 608ES CD player which i use as a transport. The old workhorse began to skip regularly until I began using the mat. Why? 
Upgrading from Sols 5.3s--Sonatina maybe
Msnloeth My 5.3s seem to be just a bit small for my room. I also think Sols are a great speaker. Im looking into the 6.3s as well as the 6.2s which seems to be made for OTL due to their high impedence-12ohm as opposed to the 5.3/6.3 8 ohm. 
I would like to hear from ex-Linnophiles
Musickdok aka John I had no intentions to Linn bash. Im actually interested in the Majic as well as the Tukans. Peace 
Tube Amps for Coincident Super Eclipse
I would look into an OTL amp by either Atmasphere or Transcendent. I believe the Coincidents have a fairly high impedence which makes it an ideal match for an OTL. 
integrated tube amp for $1000.00 clams
I have seen a couple of Kora Design 30s for sale recently. Not sure if phono is included. 
Symposium Isolation Products

Building a system around Thiel 1.5
I also cast my vote for the CJ11a. Each had what the other needed. 
Speaker match for OTL amps, and other...
Im using Soliloquy 5.3s with my Atmasphere S30. I understand Silverline Audio are also very OTL friendly. Emil 
Best Subwoofer for around $1500.00
You might want to check out the new ACI Titan II sub for $1000. They are offering a 30 day return andf will pay for shipping if you do. 
Interconnect with good bass
WWW.jeffssoundvalues.com manufactures and sells a cable cable Bass Euphoria. You might want to look into it. They seem reasonably priced. I believe they recommend this cable for subwoofers only. 
Stealth Interconnects users
Thanks guys. I also came across a company called Pure Note www.purenote.com as well as a NY company call Stage 3 Concepts. Every hear of them? 
Opinions on what my next step should be
