studio/nearfield/bookshelve monitor or speaker
Revel M105s would be ideal in that room Just a little more than your budget.... 
Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
Joe Bonamassa is the best guitarist out there right now in my opinion......watch him play with Clapton in his Albert Hall BluRay and tell me who's better, him or Clapton....... 
KLH Computer controlled speaker info wanted
I just picked up a pair of 2's.....does anyone have a copy of the manual? 
Remote volume control = unacceptable compromise?
I had a McCormack RLD 1 (it replaced a McIntosh c15,also remote), it had everything you could want. Remote volume, balance, source, mute, power, HT loop, but as good as it was it is not in the same league as my Conrad-Johnson Classic 2SE. It is th... 
Best bargain find ever ?
I went to an estate sale and bought a complete house full o audio design associates gear. It was probably $30k when new a few years ago. I took everything, even the keypads out of the walls plus the controller and several amps. I kept an amp and s... 
Your First Concert was.....
The Kinks in 1983 at the Boston Garden 
Parsound ZDAC kind of blowing my mind...
It's always nice when you stumble upon "giant killer" components.....when you are up long hours playing material that you haven't heard in a while and now it sounds brand new, better than ever....then you know your money was well spent. 
Oh My what to do?
I have owned a few pairs of PSB and thought they were excellent speakers for the money. Lenbrook owns PSB and NAD and have excellent customer service and will be there down the road.... 
Preamp with tone controls?
Three of my last four preamps have not had tone controls. The one that did was a McIntosh C15 and I never used them. Although I do need EQ, I have a nasty room mode at 40Hz. This is part of the reason I run stand mounted monitors and a sub. I find... 
Conrad Johnson vs. McInosh....
The Classic 2SE is the biggest improvement I've ever realized in an upgrade. IF you can live without remote you will not be disappointed. My DAC and a few sources of mine have remote volume so it didn't matter to me. 
Amp upgrade for Revel M20 speakers
I drive my M106 Revels with a McCormack DNA 125... they can be found relatively cheap and it's been a great amp. I should note that I recently upgraded my pre, DAC, and speakers. The McCormack is the only component left from my upgrade five years ... 
Tube amp problem question
You should ask them to retube and bias if it is not auto biasing 
How would you feel
The most important question is did you love the amp before finding this out? If the answer is yes, it's not worth dwelling on..... 
Conrad Johnson vs. McInosh....
I've owned both..... I had a McIntosh C15 and it was good. I think my Conrad Johnson Classic 2SE is much better but it's not apples to apples being tube vs solid state and being newer and more expensive. That C15 served me well, five years not one... 
Sony HAP-Z1ES Hi-Res Music Player RMAF 2013
I will never buy anything like that from Sony...... Knowing Sony it will probably only allow you to buy music from sonymusic.com...... Bastards!!!!
