@audioman58   If I'm bi wiring or bi amping why would I want jumper leads?  
EAR 834 line stage
I don't know anything about the preamp but I have the EAR 534 power amp. It sounds marvellous, is built like a tank and punches $$$ above its weight, which is considerable. Also, when I wanted info on the tubes EAR responded with the information i... 
Best 12AU7 Type Tubes for a Preamp
My favourites are NOS Mullards or Telefunkens.

@flasd  You didn't mention what kind of music you listen to. If it's heavy rock forget Maggies or Sonus Faber for that matter. If you don't play rock I can only think the speakers are emphasising poorly recorded material or as has been mentioned y... 
What’s your latest high-end audio purchase?
Nord Purifi Class D amplifier. Still being built but should have it mid October. I don't expect it to exceed the SQ of my Rogue Stereo 90 or EAR/Yoshino 534 but hopefully it will at least get close and I'll be able to lift it without the danger of...

Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room
Sonus Faber, either stand mount or floorstanding, the best you can afford, new or second hand if you don't want to stick with ESL or Planar.  
Recommendations please!
I had the Van Alstine Transcendence which was a great preamp with plenty of inputs. I upgraded to an Aesthetix Calypso and the difference in SQ was marked. The Calypso also has a remote, plenty of inputs both balanced and RCA but it is a line stag... 
tube pre & ss amp integrated
I have an Aesthetix Calypso preamp and love it.
