Can't Source Target R2 Stands - Best Substitute?
La Crosse, WI  
Looking for preamp which is good at BOTH single-ended AND balanced output
+1 for the Schiit Freya +. This is an amazing preamp that I have used in both balanced and SE. The reasonable price is the icing on the cake. I haven't even tried tube rolling yet - stock tubes are getting it done for me. 
Soft, smooth organic SS integrated amps?
Exposure 2010S, not 2010 or 2010S2. Ranges from $600-750 depending on options and condition. Read the Art Dudley Stereophile review. It's accurate to what I have found. It has sounded great with classic JBL L112 and also with Klipsch Heresy IV and... 
Klipsch Heritage Range
JWL - when you had the IVs, what amp were you using, and did they have much time on them prior to your two weeks? 
Klipsch Heritage Range
Bill - thanks for the heads-up! 
Klipsch Heritage Range
Hi Wolf - so did you keep the III over the IV? Did your subs cover enough of the difference between the two? I have a pair of REL T5i - I almost pulled the trigger on your nice set of Cherry IVs, but I just wanted to sell one more thing. Might be ... 
Speaker suggestions under 4k
My DAC choices recently came down to MHDT Orchid and Audio Mirror. Based on some good discussion with people I trust, I picked up the Orchid, and it is one amazing DAC. I had several other higher priced DACs, and this one is way more musically eng... 
Small space subwoofer: REL, Speedwoofer, ML
jss49 and b-limo - thank for the continued assurance on REL. I'm thinking REL suggested the 5 due to the size of the main speaker driver (3"). The 5 may mix in slightly better than the 7. It would be great to try both. Maybe I'll buy one of each a... 
Small space subwoofer: REL, Speedwoofer, ML
Thanks for the replies: +3 for RELs - they suggested the T5i when I gave them my information. I'm likely to try one and possibly add a 2nd if warranted. Any other experiences still welcome! I'll wait until after the madness of holiday shipping bef... 
Small space subwoofer: REL, Speedwoofer, ML
Room size is 8X14, speakers are Finale Audio Vivace Mini. SVS is still on the list, but my impression is that the others would potentially blend better. Room treatment is blinds, couch and carpet, still looking to get room tunes up in the corners....

Types of speakers to create nightclub style sound?
Altec 19 Klipsch Forte 2 or 3 - had these in a small room, didn't think much of them - just fine. Sold them to a guy who had a very large garage/shop, and I couldn't believe the sound with a cheap receiver. The sound was exactly as you describe.Kl...
