Amplification for Denon 3802 for 2-ch listening
At this price range, there really isn't any other to suggest for you, other than the Acurus act 3 pre/pro, and a used acrus 125 x 5 amp combo!!! YOu can get both for around $600 range used, for a total of $1200 used. Both are as clean, clear, deta... 
Speakers for Ht or Audio
There's too many varriables. Speaker parts are speaker parts however. And it's all dependent on what the manufacture has in mind. Your speakers may or may not be designed with a PRIORITY in mind...you'd have to call JM labs and ask em. As for the ... 
Pass X250/350 /Plinius SA250/Classe CAM350's/Sim
The Pass amps are superb, and WILL mate nicely with the Proac 2.5's. The Plinius and Sim's are very good, if a hair behind the Pass's. Then the Classe Behind those. I used to have Classe CA150, as well as Audio Research LS16 preamp driving some Th... 
What the Hell Happened?
What speakers are you using? I know that sound strange to question and all, but it could be your speakers...or not. Also, what time of the day/evening do you notice this phenominon? Reason I'm asking, is that I used to have a system that sounded W... 
Best Amp for Revel F30
The Revel sound is fairly DEAN-NUTS neutral sounding, and should do well with a lot of options. I think any amp you choose will simply be revealed(no pun) for what it is through the revels largely...that is if you can get away from YOUR OWN ADDED ... 
amps for dunlavy sc4
I don't see how ANY AMP DUNLAVY RECOMMENDED for his speakers should be taken into consideration really! RUN FOR THE HILLS!!!!.....I was at Dunlavy's factory for a tour for 2 whole days, when he owned it, and EVERY single listening room and rig set... 
Paradigm or Energy?????
If you must keep that receiver(believe me, it's not going to be anything special sounding on it's own), you would have INFINITELY better sound if you just bought something like a nice used pair of Energy C2 monitors(class C stereophile) for $200 u... 
Paradigm or Energy?????
Of all the floor standing speakers you just mentioned, I think the Energy C7's have the most potential NEW. They DEFINITELY need WARM GEAR TO MATCH WITH THEM! Infact TUBE GEAR(not likely) would be ideal. The Paradigms are kind of AVERAGE, WARM, AN... 
Sonus Faber EA II being replaced?
THANK GOD!!! The original EA's where much MUCH better speakers! The EAII's were a DECIDED step down in sound quality! Even the $3500 GRand Piano's from SF were better!..by a lot!!I only hope SF will replace the OVERPRICED, UNDERQUALITIED EAII with... 
Maggie Fans, what will u miss if you give them up?
Yeah the Maggies are PRETTY sounding with the right gear, and do things that sound great with instrumentals and vocals and such. But I second the 'SITTING IN FRONT OF THEM" as a bother for me. I like to move around the room and hear music most oft... 
Tube Neophyte
Bright you say? Hummmm. May I suggest your equipment or connections are making this speaker sound bright to you! I've sold this speaker for some time and haven't had any bright experiences with it. Infact it seems a bit more laid back or mellow so... 
Compatible Multichannel Amp for NHT's??
With those speakers you're using, may I stongly suggest you stay with amps that are not soft on top! Try to stick with amps that have good top end extension. The guy who suggested the ATI is on the right track for you! (although he's mistaken abo... 
4.5k on speakers for 5.1 surround. NHT way to go?
YEs, ESPECIALLY FOR A RECEIVER BASED SYSTEM, you really won't get any better POTENTIAL PERFORMANCE (all depends on how well you can set em up in a given room and dial em in) than POWERED speakers like the NHT VT3's for HT/music! They are superb al...
