list of speakers
good list but very incomplete....2/3 of the speakers on the world market are not on this list...but thank you for posting...it's only a start.  
All speakers have a little EQ built in
I have a 30K rig and use a $150 Schiit Loki Mini....why, Because I like to tweak bad recordings . Don't put it down until you actually try one.  
Why do I prefer R2R over Chip based DAC's?
2nd. the Audio Mirror Toubadour.IV...It uses the most expensive chip you can buy with tube front end. My system cost 35K and this $3,000 dac is all you will ever want. It makes music like non other under 6K. I've owned 2 R2R dacs and "thought" the... 
Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated
In your price range definitely check out Aavik Integrated amps....They are hard to beat for that live sound....The  vocals are so real ...it's scarry.  
Help With New Preamp Decision
I own the 10 tube AUDIO-GD HE-1 XLR at $5,000....haven't heard a pre under 10K that is as "musical".....call Underwood Hi Fi.  
Borreson X2
And the larger the driver....the Slower it is.  The bass setup on the x-3's is more than adequate for Music...I'm not interested in Home theatre. The way Borresen has constructed the cabinets...the bass is deep and FAST and Tight. That's the way L...

Young audiophile metal head looking to level up speaker choice
I 2nd. the Tekton Pendragons...They really Rock ...and at $2500 you just can't touch them for a Full Range speaker.   
Your greatest high end audio purchase!!!
AUDIO GD HE 1 VACUUM TUBE PREAMP WITH REGENERATIVE POWER SUPPLY. This is the Best value in Hi-Fi today. What a masterful sounding piece of gear. I love mine.   
surprising comparison of tube preamps
The 4K , Audio-GD HE1 XLR....10 tubes, it’s own Regenerative Power supply. Sings with Any Amp I put it with... Simply a fantastic sounding PRE !     Caution:  It's a Monster.  
Lowest priced MC thats better than a Premium MM?
