Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
@jjss49 Thanks!  Much of the enjoyment has to do with the B&W 685s which to my ears sound wonderful under the open air environment. I believe the balance between bass and treble is improved. The 100wpc provided by the  701 delivers the volume ... 
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
Well I have a secondary system that I set up on the back deck for open air listening. I set it up yesterday as it was 70+ degrees in southern Illinois. I am always impressed with the experience, tuneful, dynamic, great sound stage and imaging. I v...

Devore or Audio Note or other sensitive speakers: wanting to listen in Denver
I have heard the Devore O/93s driven by a Line Magnetic 845 amplifier. Loved the presentation.  One speaker I would love to hear is the Daedalus Muse. Seems to be a great fit for my room and electronics though at this time not so much so for my w... 
DAC w Tube itch: Audio Mirror
Yes, there are better DACs having tube output stages than the AM which is priced between $1500 and $2500 depending on internals (mine was $1960) however they come at a much higher price.   As always, depends on budget and rest of system.  
NAD C316BEE V2/Subwoofer dilemma…

Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers
@deep_333 I was thinking 2-channel for music and multi for video. Why wouldn't a receiver work for the center as well for the rear channels.  
Multichannel power amplifers VS 2 channel power amplifiers
I kinda read the 1st paragraph of the OP as music was the primary. I failed to consider the 9-10 channel issue which seems to inconsistant with budget.  I agree with soix that not enough info was provided.  Given a 5.1 system my approach is viable.

Need Amp recommendation
What is the price for each? How old?    
Looking for suggestions on speakers and an integrated amp for a second system.
I am thinking the loudness control would be helpful. May eliminate (maybe not entriely) the need for a subwoofer. Yamaha and Vincent made integrateds with that feature. I am sure there ore others.  Look for speakers with wide dispersion. Ones th...

Struggling to spend 13k with three dealers
Yes, I believe the trade in aspect is the hold-up. If so the dealers should just say so with reasoning.
