Request for a recommendation on a small footprint floor standing speaker
Please consider speaker and matching amplifier requirement in you decision. The Maggies may be the least expensive however will require more $$ for amplification. Consider your budget for both speaker and amplification. 
Your favorite OCC speaker cable
@hide45, Glad you did not jump off. I am much interested in this thread.  
Penafrips, MHDT Labs DACs versus Integrated amps for home office
Hopefully you will get the sub soon. Play with it and speaker placement prior to other decisions.  
Beginner looking for guidance into tube sound.
+1 lowrider. If your Peachtree is driving your current speakers to satisfaction and has preouts and amp inputs I would suggest you get a tube preamp. Quicksilver is a great option. Also check out Aric Audio, give him a call.  You could then compar...

Does the 1.5m 75ohm rule apply to 110ohm?
Thanks, I read too much into your statement of 5/15.  
Love to hear from current owners or past users of Isoacoustics Gaia footers.

@frogman Great posts!    
Adding "Internet radio" to home system
I am interested in the Cambridge  streamer. Will it play music off a hard drive (AIFF files)? 
Does the 1.5m 75ohm rule apply to 110ohm?
