Integrateds: Why do they all SUCK?
I just took delivery of a Viva Solistino IA, it will replace my Modwright LS-100  PA and KWA 150SE amp. The Viva is an 845 SET with 18 W class  'A'. So far it's not lacking anything and is driving my speakers just fine. I am a big fan of Modwright...

Nope not alone. I remember her stuff being played on the radio when I was a kid. Still like many of her tracks, especially "You needed me".  
Budget American made speakers?
Selah Audio builds and designs many high quality speakers at different price points. And of course his speaker's sound great. 
Still looking for speakers in the 10-20,000 range
As already mentioned, Daedalus speakers are well worth checking out. Very high quality and craftsmanship built in each design, not to mention wonderful sound that they produce.

My audio rack is from Timbernation and I have been very pleased with it. It's easy on the eyes and very well built. Good luck in your search. 
Most satisfying system change in 2017?
I purchased a pair of Daedalus "Argos" speakers, they took eight months to to get, but the wait was well worth it. They are very sweet sounding set and the craftsmanship is first class.  
Full-sounding SS amps (besides Pass)
You may want to consider a Modwright KWA 150SE, it’s a versital well designed and very engaging amp. Modwright products seem to fly under the radar, but are able to provide excellent sonics.  
Viva Solistino Amp
Thanks all for the very kind replies.It will take a couple of months to get the amp in - house, due to the build time and where my order is in the que. @ Chayro, Both the Solista and Solistino have the same transformers that are standard and the v...

Viva Solistino Amp
Much thanks for your replies, as far as tube rolling goes this is from the dealer "We Viva dealers and Viva discourage tube rolling because some of the "NOS" (new old stock) tubes can't take the voltages or current that these amplifiers require fr... 
Focal Chorus 826W with Rotel RC/RB 1070?
I had these speakers at one time, I drove them with a Anthem 225 IA, and thought it sounded great. However I moved to a Bryston B-100 (Much better amp) and it was a big jump up in overall sound quality. So has others have already stated, a good hi...
