Center speaker for Cremona Auditors
HUH?! The Domus line is NOT made with aluminum drivers.I think you could easily have an outstanding synergy with the Domus and Auditors in a home theater situation. The Domus center is an excellent speaker and looks beautiful to boot!

power for Thiel 3.5's
Two years???!!! You have much more patience trhan I my friend. Those would have been out the door or new amplification would have been in the house in about a month. I have also heard that tubes can make the older Thiels sound a bit more true and ... 
Harbeths and Tube Amps
Ten watts is ten watts....no matter what people say about it.In your case, with the Harbeths, it simply is not enough power. The Plinius is 5X's the power of the tube amp. Harbethrecommends a decent 100 watts for best results with that speaker. I'...

An LK 140 or one of the new Chakra amps would be KILLER with the Classik till you could afford the stunning Linn Unidisk SC.

speaker for golden tube se-40 amp
Hmmmmm....you already have the Forests (a very nice speaker) and now that you bought a mediocre tube amp you want to change those speakers for something that matches up with it. It appears to me you are moving in reverse. A better amp for theFores...

How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
As much as you've got! *s* Seriously, I don't actually believe that, but in my experience you have to get over $1,000.00 to get into what I consider some of the best speakers you can buy....Spendors or Harbeths. Then it's simply a matter of how bi... 
Harbeth 40 speakers
Thomaspf,You are one lucky person. Which Spendors did you replace with the 40's? 
Spendor s3/5 SE, Harbeth HLP 3
agree with Jrd on this....the Harbeths by a nose....maybe Pinnochios nose though! But seriously, you simply cannot go wrong with either. They are both wonderful and simply amazing for their size. I'm not familier enough with the deCapo to comment ...
