SME Model 10 How much should I spend on speakers?
This is just me, but I would say first get the best source that you can, if to you that's the SME Model 10 then do it. However at that point I would suggest that rather than just assuming that you need expensive new speakers to keep up with your s... 
What to put between a Calypso a Mini Utopias?
I'm running a pair of Micro Utopias, pretty similar specs I think, with a 50 watt Graaf stereo tube amp. Great speakers and super easy to drive, I would say try tubes if you can.

I agree guys, and I happy to say that I just got my first shipment in the mail today, shipped 1/31, in my mailbox 2/3. Not bad for just $5.99! 
sealed 3-ways
Look for used speakers from Hales, now out of business. Paul Hales was a strong proponent of sealed boxes and his speakers often go for absurdly low prices on here. Also I think that almost all of his models are three ways, do a search under Hales... 
Best DAC for 1,000?
There is a Timbre TT-1 dac on here right now for under $800. This is a fantastic dac that retailed for $4K. I used to own one and loved it, I only sold it to downsize to a one-box player. I can't imagine better sound at even twice the price. Check... 
What Speakers Do Audio Insiders Own?
I think that you'll find that most musicians have pretty crappy systems. So I wouldn't put too much stock in what they're listening to personally. That being said there are some lines of pro speakers that cross over into home audio that are excell... 
LOOKING FOR CJMV50 SAME TYPE OF SOUND AMP, HELP
I second the premiere 11a rec, I used to own one and it's an excellent amp. Robustly built with nice, warm, rich tube sound, married to excellent frequency extension. As the Brits say, a nice all 'rounder. 
What's your profession? Age?
Wholesale fine wine salesman and 36 years old. My system is worth about $20K. 
Monitors secure on stands
Absolutley, there are many alternate brands of "Tac", any of them would be fine. 
Overpriced Tube Amps
Dude just chill out and buy used then. There are plenty of great amps anywhere from $700 to $3000. Also by buying used you protect yourself, if you don't like it you can quickly flip it at the price you payed, so it's no risk. Furthermore if you w...

Happy Lunar New Year
Happy New Year to you too, may the year of the dog be an interesting one. 
Has anyone tried the Wiremold L10320 power strip?
I have to concur, it's a great powerstrip. I used to have a Chang 3200 which I liked very much, but I like the Wiremold every bit as much if not more. Really an impressive device for relatively little money. However I am toying with the idea of ru... 
Does the Spendor S8e invert phase?
I think that one or more of your c-j components inverts phase. Check with the company to be sure.
