List of top phono preamps best
Second the K&K recommendation. You won't be disappointed.Oz 
What will beat ear 834p by a margin
The K&K Audio phono stage will beat the 834 by a country mile. I have owned both and still have the K&K.Oz 
Subwoofer reccomendations
Gmood is right. In a small room you aren't likely to better the Rocket sub. It is highly musical, favoring quality over quantity. It wouldn't be my first choice for movies or even music in a large room, but for your needs it should be perfect.Oz 
Best phono stage balanced under $3000 used
I agree with Cedar. The K&K is a couple of levels above the 834P.Oz 
New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?
Dedicated. No TV, no computer, no dual duty anything. Music First. A chair, love seat, room treatment, records, seedees and equipment. I just re-posted it here on Agon.Oz 
New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?
I have the speakers set up on the short wall. It is a dedicated room, so I can have them anywhere and sit anywhere. They are set up using the Cardas placement for planars. SS is deep and wide in this position. I wouldn't want them on the long wall... 
Magnepans in a small room
You might get away with 12s in that room. But 1.6s would probably be a bit too much.Oz 
New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?
According to the Cardas website it would be 26 X16 X 10. My room gets two of these dimensions dead on, 26 X16 X 8.Oz 
Any advantage to using monobloc amps
>Best to ask about amop<Make sure you ask for the bucket that comes with it....;-}}Oz 
New 11' x 7' listening room....small speaker?
Albert,I defer to your superior knowledge most of the time, but c'mon, his room is SEVEN FEET WIDE!!!!Taking into account the width of the speakers, it would only leave less than 4 ft. between them even if they were touching the side walls. If you... 
Von Scheikert VR4jr in a small room .
11'X 12', 10' X 11'.....you guys are listening in a closet. You shouldn't even consider a full range floor standing speaker. Set your sights on a good small monitor, you'll never do justice to a medium/large speaker in a room like that.Oz 
Phono amp recommendations
Here is another recommendation for the K&K phono pre. This is one great sounding phono stage and comes in right at your price limit. Give Kevin a call, you won't be disappointed.Oz 
ARIES 3 OR SUPER SCOUTMASTER
That's a VERY nice looking rig.....Oz 
What so special about electro-static speaker
Kal is correct. Maggies are not electrostatics. If by stats one means Martin Logan, I would have to agree, nothing special there. Quads are far better. As far as maggies go, you probably didn't hear them set up correctly. They do take some time an... 
Audience Au24 with high current SS amps....
>Could it be that the ribbon tweeters are more sensitive to inductance/capacitance variances during music than regular tweeters?<I think that could very well be. At least for now I will have a late 99 pair of 3.5Rs with brand new ribbon twee...
