Creek 5350 SE and Maggies
At that price point...nothing wrong with Creek...but I would as audition Bryston b-60 intergrated...dont get hung up on the specs...it is only rated at 60w...but this is a very conservative Bryston rating...my dealer had them paired with the 1.6s.... 
Good match for Spendor S3/5s?
I also agree with Subaruguru...even in a small room...the 3/5 is pushing the laws of physics...I would probably opt for the 3/1p...which is my favorite SPendor product...that would be a nice combo...or...to cause more confusion...I was considering... 
Good match for Spendor S3/5s?
I agree...Bryston is known for providing excellent bass performance...which is why I gather my dealer has them with Spendors and Maggies...both great speakers which sounded a bit bass shy with other brands...good luck... 
What is the Best Speaker thats no bigger than 14
Wow!...you have some nice gear! I agree...those mini Uptopias are awesome....my dealer also has PMC db1 or db2s which are small monitors with great bass(they use a transmission line design)...I also like the Quad 11LS...but they are rear ported...... 
Something wrong with the Studio 100 v.2?
For the money....the $1500 Quad 21L simply embarrases the majority of floorstanders I have heard...and in the great Quad tradition...very transparent, open, and unreal 3-d imaging...with tight, musical bass...a must audition... 
REL Quake/MJ acoustics pro 50 sub
Good point...at that price I will probably check out Hsu, Adire(Rava), or MJ Acoustics when overseas...cheers... 
NHT ST-4. Great deal and sounds funny Help GURUS
My vote for best monitors under $1200 is Quad 12Ls...with truly stable "out of box" 3-d imaging...and a soundstage that really is astonishing regardless of speaker size...the sound is very open, bold, fast, and clean.... 
Loud and Live
Humble Pie...Performance at the Fillmore...Cheap Trick live at Budokan...AC/DC live at Atlantic Studios...Judas Priest also has a killer live album(title escapes me)...Ramones..Its Alive...Queen: LIve Killers...WHO live at LEEDS... 
Inexpensive SACD player....?
The older SOny dvp ns500 v featured a 24/96 DAC...which is why the reviews have been favorably in both redbook and not surprisingly SACD...the newer 755 has a cost cutting 12bit DAC...but is a progressive scan DVD player..hence for music applicati... 
What is next after Paradigm Studio S-40
I would put the Quad 12L in the same breath as SPendor and Revel monitors...not as dark or forgiving as Spendors...more in common with the uncolored, high definition sound of Revel...but a very open, coherent, and dynamic midrange...and less than ... 
NHT ST-4. Great deal and sounds funny Help GURUS
I auditioned NHT at my local dealer as was not that impressed...did a/b with the st-4 and the Spendor 3/5...no comparison...the NHT had that "cotton in the ears" sound...granted deeper bass....but I would opt for accuracy and transparency myself... 
What is next after Paradigm Studio S-40
I would have to agree...the studios are hard to surpass...let alone for the money...they are surprisingly transparent...I would suggest Maggies with the Bryston which my dealer has and is a killer combo...but if you already have stands with the st... 
Spendor 3/5 SE special edition
Allen..if I was going to upgrade...from Spica tc-50s(which I have owned)....I would opt for a monitor with deeper bass to intergrate more seamlessly with your sub...the 3/5 would be a lateral move in bass extension....around 70hz...so you wouldnt ... 
The British speaker sound: Tannoy, Harbeth, etc...
I listened to Spendor,Sonus Faber,B&W, to name a few...and went with the Quad 12L...they are not as colored as Spendors...and are far more "lively" in nature...not to mention superior in bass....however are more finicky with electronics and so... 
Who has the oldest speakers?
I love vintage gear...until you turn it on!
