The best speaker for a small room...at any price point.
I would also recommend the Aerial 5t’s. Best small speakers I’ve heard. 
2000-2500 USD budget for an integrated amplifier. Do amplifiers sound the same? :)
The Vincent SV-237 hybrid integrated is outstanding in your price range. It responds nicely to some different tubes in the pre amp section. 
Where's the love for my RP-10 and Apheta 2?
I recently bought a new P 8 with the Alpheta 2 cartridge and absolutely love it. My other table is a restored TD 124 with an SME m2-9 arm and an AT Art 9 cart. The Rega May be better as far as detail retrieval and being quiet. The Thorens May be a... 
Help with picking new integrated for under 3k
The Vincent SV-237 hybrid integrated is very nice. 
Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal
By the way my Aerial 7t’s sound very good with my Mac 452. 
Speaker upgrade question - Wilson vs Focal
 A couple of years ago I was shopping for speakers and found myself at Paragon sight and sound and managed to listen to three sets of the smaller Wilson speakers all powered by Mac gear. I thought they all sounded very good. I didn’t like the B&am... 
Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?
I really think this combination of the P8 with the Alpheta 2 is an outstanding value with sound of a much higher end rig. Glad I made the purchase. 
Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?
 So, i think my cartridge is starting to break in. Listened  to two of my all time favorite albums tonight and I’ve never heard them sound better. The Marshall Tucker Band’s “Carolina Dreaming” was outstanding! 
What were the best years for McIntosh power amps...
I bet you could find a demo 452 as cheap as a 7200.

I’ve got Aerial 7t’s with a new Mc 452 and it’s a great pairing. This idea that new Mac stuff is not good is bs! 
Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?
Dave and Troy I completely agree with your assessment of the P8. It’s a great turntable and a great value with the Alpheta 2.

Pedal steel guitar sounds heavenly. 
Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?
I don’t have a 60 ohm option. May try it at 50 though. Great detail on this combination. I realize a lot of people are put off by the looks of this table, but the looks are one of the reasons I bought it. It’s meeting every expectation that I had ... 
Rega P8 with Alpheta 2?
Got my P8 a few minutes ago and already have it set up playing music. This thing is tiny compared to my td124 in that big plinth. I’m listening to Gram Parsons, “ Grievous Angel “, and it sounds really nice. It’s plugged in to the MC section of my...

My P8 has been shipped and should be here on Thursday. Looking forward to getting it hooked up and listening.
