Why did you choose the components and speakers that are in your system?
I needed a very  small apartment system for music that sounded good regardless of placement and volume. I was fortunate enough to buy Aerial 5T and Parasound Hint 6 used, and i connected my old Marantz CD-67se and its perfect for me. I put the Aer...

Good 2 channel integrated amplifier for 702 s2 under 3k?
I bought the Parasound Hint 6 to play with my Aerial 5T standmounts. I like the smoothness of the midrange and vocals. Really nice. Also like the connection options, USB, COAX, 3.5mm, Optical etc and Tone Controls. 
Looking for a black brushed mental bookshelf speaker
Take a look at the Aerial 5T in black. Don't need a stand, can be placed 2 inches from wall, and sound great.

Parasound Hint 6 or separates?

I was told to put Kitty Litter in my new speaker stands. Was he joking?
I am still waiting for the stands to arrive. But it seems logical that since enough of you have used KL successfully and it was recommended by the speaker designer - ill use it also. Yes it absorbs humidity, but thats its function, and wont matter... 
Speakers good for close to wall placement
Aerial 5T was designed specifically to be placed between 2 inches and 2 feet of a wall. Well reviewed bookshelf. 
Small room amp and speakers recommendation
I have a small room and think the Aerial 5  is a great speaker, and since its been around so long, you can get them used for a great price. 
Help me select an integrated amp for Thiel CS3.6 speakers
Lets see if i can sum this up:1) Get an amp/preamp combo - a big powerful amp. Mentioned were amps costing alot more than i wanted to spend. Coda and J1 were suggested as well. Space of the wall unit just doesn't allow for this, but i will remeasu...
