Review: VPI Industries HW-19 mkIV Turntable
I have a HW-19 mk iv. with a jelco sa 250it is a pretty good TT for the price, I can fix anything that goes wrong, it sounds pretty quiet to me.  and for less than 1K 
Revel F35 vs Klipsch Heresy II or maybe III
If you like Klipsch check out the Klipsch Quartet.  A smaller Forte. 
Reference 3a Grand Veena for a small room?

Inexpensive Tube Amps
had a primaluna for 7 years. great sound, have a Vista Audio I84. great amp 10 watts.  700.00 used  
Mid-fi integrated tube amp advice
be wary of cheap imports,  you can drive your speakers with 15 watts of tube powerlook at a good used Primaluna PL1 or 2.  around your budget. i had one for 6 years. great amp 
Minimum recommended amplification requirements and amplifier matching
the line mag amp will not have a problem running 90db speakers. I have 92db speakers that provide a decent volume with a 4 watt tube amp. Not concert loud but loud enough in a 12 x 22 room open on the long sides.more important is a speaker that do...
