I love to tinker with mys stereo and I'm also looking to buy a 1960 Comet to restore. As far as I'm concerned what you say is truePete 
For Magnepans try the "Rooze" comfiguration
The last time I heard 901's was at a friends apartment before my audio days. If 901's sound anything like the Rooze maggie setup I defintly need to buy a pair of 901's.The best sound I have gotten out the MMG's before this was to put them in the c...

I'm blown away by the Sonic Impact tripath amp.
Slappy,I owned the Adire HE10.1 for a month. I returned them. I didn't think they sounded that great.I'm hearing alot of talk about the Omega Super 3's. I haven't heard them though.Pete

twl,The speakers I am using are some MB Quart QLSP44XL and a cheap Sony DVD Player of yesteryear. I bought the MB Quarts of of Ubid.com about four years ago for about $200 brand new. It's a strange speaker. I emailed MB Quart about them and they'v...

Mcfavre4,That was an excellent response. I appreciate it.Pete 
Small speakers for a small room
Hi,I would like to recommend Source loudspeakers. I have the 1.5WV. It is an outstanding speaker and very transparent. It has an L pad on the back which is a Godsend when it comes to room compatability. http://sourcetechspeakers.comPete 
GMA Europa discontinued?
Two words of of advise from a customer Roy. Make your speakers more visually appealing and don't abandon the sub $1000 market. Better yet, design a sub $500 speaker for us poor audiophiles. 
GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?
Thanks for the kind words Roy but Suits_me has it right. I love to listen loud as the evening wears on. With a first child on the way in two weeks I think the loud, alcohol induced, listening is going to simmer down and the quite listening/diaper ... 
GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?
I used a Vecteur Club Six to power my Europas. At 60 WPC it wasn't nearly enough and I blew a tweeter. According to Roy you should have at least 120 solid state watts or 60 tube watts to drive the Europas properly. 
What integrated amp under a grand is your favorite
I like my Ideal Innovations Custom 30 for $600. 
Speakers to consider in the $2200 range
I would recommend Source Technologies as Sedona did. They are incredible speakers. Of course, Magnepans are a must listen. My MMG's are the only pair of speakers that I've owned that I will never sell. You can get the 1.6QR's new and save some cash. 
Swan Diva Speakers
My 2.1's sounded terrible. Very harsh and break in didn't help. I returned them after two weeks. I got sucked in by the great looks. 
compact bookshelf speaker for my system
I would suggest the Source Technologies 1.5WV. They are great sounding monitors with a tweeter attenuator on the back.
