Best bargain integrated amp?
Chinese, Jungson JA88C for $400. Easily sell for $1200-1500 if it was from one of the better known American companies.BW Maxx

Jolida JD100S and JD100H?
Go to Audiocostruzioni.com. Look under "Sorgenti" for CDP reviews. Its an Italian site but you can use Babelfish to translate.There is a review of the J100S and another review comparing it to the original J100A.The J100S is not an overseas version... 
A bookshelf on a booksheld--compromises?
Well you definitly won't get the most from the vast majority of speakers positioned on a 2 foot deep shelf. There are some speakers that are designed for near wall positioning. Also some speakers not designed for near wall positioning will work mu... 
I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics...
Great choice in finish! Those should look gorgous and have the performance to match. Make sure to give them a couple of hundred hours of burn in time. The Seas drivers in the System II will take some time to sound their best.BW Maxx

Which Hi-end monitor for near field listening
Thin midrange with recessed tweeter. Sorry the FS688's arn't what you are looking for :)The terms thin and thick, of course, mean different things to different people. When I think of thin I think threadbare with a lack of harmonics and overtones.... 
Which Hi-end monitor for near field listening

If your looking for similar size and price range to the Soliloquy 6.2 then the Linbrook system II or or Tyler 7U would probably be the best options.The Linbrook, Tyler and Woodmere all use the SEAS Magnesium for the bass and midrange. Where the Li...

Axiom M80 VS Vienna Acoustic Beethoven on CJ 11A
Thats cool. For under $2500 you got a real good deal. Like I said earlier, I think they are a big step up over the Mozart and Bach.I've read the same thing Ultraviolet posted from several VA speaker owners. That they really need a fair amount of p...
