I got a little rig what do I do now?
This thread cracks me up... funny jabs Doug & Chad!As far as speakers, I'd shoot for some Dynaudio floorstanders (currently listed in your price range: Audience 72's, Contour T2.5's & two pairs of Contour 1.8 mk II's). I love the Dynaudio ... 
Will leaving an amp powered-up all the time...
As recommended in the owners manual, my Plinius 8200 mk II integrated is left on all the time (unless I won't be listening for greater than 5 days). Pliniius states the amp needs atleast 24 hours of warm-up to sound it's best. 
Suggestions for an integrated amp?
I own the Jolida you are referring to in one of my secondary systems. I like mine.... decent solid state power @ 100 wpc, with tubes in the pre stage. It's not the most attractive unit I've owned, but it sounds good, has been trouble free with a l...

Silverline Sonata II or III owners

REL Q150 and Dynaudio Audience 72s
My local Dynaudio dealer caries REL subs & ARCAM electronics, so I'm assuming the three brands exhibit good synergy. I currently own the Dynaudio 42's and 52's in seperate secondary systems and previously owned the 42C, and think the REL Q150 ...

Silverline Sonata I 
Speaker suggestions
I have Silverline Sonata II's and recommend them. While they are rear ported, the base is not boomy. Very good for female vocals and jazz. They also give you excellent flexibility from an amplification standpoint in case you want to experiment wit... 
Fanfare FM-2G-C antenna
I've had very good luck with the Magnum Dynalab ST-2 whip antenna ($95). The Fanfare is probably similar.
