Vandersteen, Audio Note, and Resistance
I think you are going to be disappointed with 10 watts driving vandersteens no matter what tap you use.Oz 
Marshall Kilburn 2 or JBL Xtreme 2?
I'll give you another option. Klipsch The One, or The Three. Walmart is having a fire sale on The One with phono and I bought one a week ago. This little thing rocks. And it's not all about sheer output or bass response, it is actually detailed an... 
Streamers sans DAC?
Lumin U-1 mini fits your needs. And it was a noticeable improvement over the Node 2i. I use it with a MHDT Pagoda.Oz 
Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello?
Perhaps you are not familiar with Triangle speakers, LOL.   You are right, I am not. But that's not my point. Which is that the Cornwall IV, Forte III and AL5 Lascala have improved in many ways that make them a good choice for even non horn f... 
Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello?
Five feet? Are you talking about the length of the bass horn? Surely you don't mean the woofer is 5 ft. behind the midrange horn?Oz 
Klipsch La Scala 2018 or the Triangle Cello?
I don't think the LaScalas are in the same league. The Klipsch can do loud and punchy but they will lack the finesse and 3D imaging of the Triangles. You will be very happy with the Triangles. Even better with a tube amp. Perhaps you haven't h... 
Is it my amp or my speakers?
Nothing wrong with the Krell amp Nothing, except it sounds like a Krell. Other than that, thumbs up! 
Cary SLI80 as just a preamp?
Since the SLI-80 is only an average (I'm being kind here) sounding integrated amp, I would have my doubts that it would make a very good preamp. But as stated above. If you need a preamp, buy a preamp and get what you can on the used market for th... 
LOOKING FOR CD STORAGE RACKS
I put mine out by the curb for the trash man several months ago after I had no luck in giving them away,Oz 
New speakers. New room.
Too bad there's not a way to insert a picture of your room in this thread. Wouldn't THAT be nice? Dark ages of internet, anyone?Anyway, congrats on your new setup. Sounds nice.Oz

Klipsch Cornwalls for home theater--center speaker or not?
I have Cornwall IVs, but not in a home theater setup. They are pretty wide dispersion and give a good center fill. That said, a Heresy might be a good matching center channel.Oz 
Spacial Audio Lab X3 and Pure Audio Project Quintet 15
I had the X3 for about a year. This is a seriously good speaker. Very dynamic and effortless, great bass extension and definition. The one shortcoming that I found was I could never get the midrange to sound to my liking. I tried different amps, p... 
Amplifier upgrade advice under $2000
I have heard original Heresys and I have heard a pair of Ohms (can't say for sure which model) and I dig the horns better. But it's a matter of taste, as always.Oz
