Bookshelf speakers on a budget
hfarrior3,the Elac B5's are around $225.00 a pair delivered BUT I listened to them & chose to spend an extra $150.00 on the Zensor 1's because I felt the treble was a bit sweeter & imaging was MUCH better.The Elacs sound stayed between the... 
I recently picked up the Yaqin MC-30L with the opt
CONGRATS on finding out you don't have to spend big $ to get fantastic sound!I've been preaching the merits of Yaqin since I first installed one of their tube buffers in a SS Reciever based system,moved to a EL-34 Class A PP & now a 10wpc.Clas... 
Does anyone use the Silverline Audio SR 17 speakers? If so, how do you like them?
I'm in the same boat as you,looking at the Prelude+...1 single pro review from 4 years ago.Maybe the fact that we don't see them for sale here or fleabay is a good sign...

Dali Zensor.Zensor1 if you have a really small room,Zensor3 will give you BIG bass but will need a bit more room to breathe.BOTH will give you a wonderfuly musical presentation with excellent imaging & sound staging! 
Proac Studio 100 - will 35 wpc be enough?

Have the Golden Ear Tech 7's but considering a speaker a fuller sound and also musical
Never heard the Tritons but did spend time demoing the new Martin Logan Motion series & found the Heil type tweeter bordering on bright.I agree with your assessment that between the Class D amp & GE speakers your just too far into the uppe...

I would imagine the amp uses cheap Chinese tubes.A simple tube upgrade may go a long way towards adding richness to the tone...

You will probably find these compared over at "head-fi.org"...ABSOLUTELY the best place for all info on headphones!

When I think full,rich,musical & easy to listen to I think Sonus Faber & Dali.Look at speakers that use wood fiber for bass drivers & silk tweeters & your ears will be happy... 
Dynaudio's best sounding bookshelf between $500-1000
I have owned Audience 42,52SE & Focus 110's.I always felt(when driven by SS)that they could lean towards stridency when pushed hard. For small -medium speakers with a BIG sound similar to Dynaudio have a look at Dali.The Zensor 2's have HUGE b...
