Pro-ject Debut Carbon vs Debut III ??
Besides all the pluses that have been mention for the Carbon, here is another one. The ability to use your own interconnects with the Carbon as the Debut is hardwired.When I compare the two, the Carbon is so well priced for everything you get, it ... 
Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers
Congrats Torevado. The NAD BEE amps are very good sounding SS amplifiers. Glad you found an amp that's right for you. Enjoy the music! 
which one of these amp to buy?
You haven't told us what your speakers are so we can't decide if you really need 300 wpc that the Emotiva delivers or not.Somehow I'm guessing you don't need this much. And if I am right, then get the Parasound A23. It's the only one that is Class... 
subwoofer for music?
Rel are very cheaply made?You gotta love hit and run posts. I have a Rel T1,and love it. Hey johnk, what do you have? 
speakers with Parasound?
Thanks for the add'l info. I wouldn't worry too much about the speakers outclassing the components. As long as the amp puts out adequate power to drive a pair without distortion or clipping, your in business. Besides things may change and you may ... 
speakers with Parasound?
Your amp should drive just about any speaker with a nominal impedance of 8 Ohms in a small room. So that means hundreds of them. Also, what's the budget? The Joseph Audio Pulsar sure is a very nice speaker but at 7K could be out of your budget. If... 
Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers
Good choice again. I have read good reviews on the "W"s and they seem to be a major step up from the "V"s. Coupled with the Simaudio amp, sounds like your on the way to a great system.WRT speaker cables, you are bound to get a wide variety of opin... 
Help select integrated 2 channel amp under 1000
Used will get you more, but if its new you want and with your budget, one immediately comes to mind. The Marantz PM8004.At 1K list, this is no ordinary Marantz. It is built at their reference factory in Japan, boasts 70 wpc in 8 ohms, 100 wpc into... 
Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers
Sounds like a good choice Torevado. With the 50 high current wpc that the Sim will dish out, the Focals will be no problem for this amp. Just sit back and enjoy the music.BTW, are you going with the 807 V or W? 
Best cheap speaker cables............again
As I suggested to a previous poster who asked the same question - AQ Rocket 33's. A step up from Type 4. They are $300 new for a 10' pair. So less if you only need 8'. These are the cables I use with my Vienna Bach Grands and am extremely satisfie... 
Integrated with good preamp & pre out
Second Yahoochaz' recommendation on the Marantz PM 8004. If your looking for a gem, this is it. At 1k list, this is no ordinary Marantz. It is built at their reference factory in Japan, boasts 70 wpc in 8 ohms, +100 damping factor, +25 amps peak c... 
Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers
Thanks for the additional details Torevado. Given your ample budget, and no attempts to fill an concert hall with sound, there are many quality SS integrateds to choose from.Since you already heard the speakers you want with the Simaudio, you can ... 
Integrated Amplifier for FOCAL 807VW speakers
At 8 Ohms & 92 db sensitivity, the Focals your looking at are pretty efficient speakers and do not require a lot of power. So that really opens the field as far as what integrated - you have literally dozens to choose from. So to better answer... 
Monitor speaker recommendations
Forgive the long reply but the below may help.One of the problems with a asking for a recommendation for a speaker is that you are bound to get replies that endorse what folks already have or want to have. These recommendations may be the right sp... 
Good value for money speaker cables around $200
+1 on the AQ Rocket 33's. These are the cables I use and find them to be excellent for the money. I hope you get additional meaningful answers from users of the other brands you sited. Good luck in your search.
