Goof High-Efficiency bookslef speakers
Zu Audio Tone or Omen Bookshelf ... large for a monitor but would work well with the Cary 
Variable volume CD Players
Linn Unidisk SC ... tons of flexibility. 
Floorstanders 3K
You would probably really like some of the Klipsch Heritage series speakers like the Cornwall or even K-Horn ... your amps would have WAY more power than you need though. Even the Forte is an awesome speaker for classic rock. On the used market on... 
Etiquite Regarding Response Times to Offers
I only get about 5% of email notifications from the AudiogoN system ... If I do not go to My Page I have no idea there is anything waiting for me. That said, if I HAD an ad I would check everyday for emails ... others with the same problem may not. 
Choosing a Floorstander by Footprint Size
there are some nice "highend" wall mount speakers available if those would be allowed 
How Many Tweeters Does A Speaker Need??
plenty of speakers with NO tweeters ... depends on the designer and their goals 
Speakers for EL34 amp: $1,500 - $2,000
I liked the Red Rose monitor with the dipole ribbon tweeter (can not think of exact model #) with a CJ el34 based amp. Excellent bass from a small enclosure and the highs were very special with the ribbon tweeter 
Amp Recommendation
you could look at the Lyngdorf TDAi-2200 integrated ... look for one with Room Perfect and analog input module installed. You would not need the DPA-1 with the TDAi unit. The TDAi unit is right around the $3k price point used 
Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later
do you think eight pairs is too many??? you are probably right ... one thing you are wrong about is my house size- smaller than many NYC apartments at @ 1100 square feet!!REALLY sad part is NOTHING is hooked up right now except my system at work. ... 
Cables for low power amps and Horns?
the cable that made the most difference in my system was the Auditorim 23 cable ... NEVER had a speaker or IC make such a large improvement in the sound. 
Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later
NICE!! Glad you still have the Essence ... they are special too. Trenner's just LOOK fantastic in an understated way. Wish they were more popular. I am still on the merry-go-round and have to thin the herd. Way too much gear at home and at work ri... 
Need recommendation for preamp/dac.
an interesting choice would be the dspeaker antimode 2.0 dac with room correction usb and toslink inputs variable output might be able to test drive a new one 
Trenner & Friedl Art Speaker: A Year Later
Ngeorge ... guess the Essence is LONG gone from your system (at least I THINK you had the Essence at one time) ... the Arts are a speaker I have always wanted to hear ... absolutely LOVE the zebra wood light corian model I have seen in pics (and I... 
Integrated amp: Can it perform equal to separates?
could also look for a CD player with variable output and sell the Bel Canto but keep the red dragons ... not a ton of choices but Ayon, Resolution Audio, Wadia all have models with variable output ... Theta Miles BALANCED would be nice and inexpen... 
Classe' CAP-151,are there reliability issues?
personally, I have had more trouble with "highend" gear in general compared to Walmart electronics ... my kids under $30 DVD players run and run and run while 2 of my "highend" pieces have needed repair. (neither piece was Classe by the way)
