Which desktop speakers to buy $800
Adam F7 active speakers so no need for an amp. They are terrific! No muffled sound here at all. Although you might need add $99 more to your budget (you could sell your amp since it is not needed). But believe me, they are well worth it.

Typo, sorry. To Geoffkait, should read:" ... 40th Anniversary release OR the Analogue Productions release ..."

Thanks for the help Cz! I turned it on. Yuk! I had to turn it off quickly! Something about eating black eyed peas, an Iggy Spears, and Wizard & Puke, or something like that. Oy!

Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Amen to that brother. 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
Opapa - I too am surprised at the absence of not only quality playback gear, but usually no gear at all. Not just in nicer homes for sale, but also show homes on tour. It's not like these folks don't have the funds for it. It is simply off their r... 
Comments on interconnect cables
I auditioned a pair of Magic Link IIs when looking for ICs. I ended up preferring WyWires over them as the WyWires (to my ears/brain/system/room) were far better balanced across the freq. spectrum and far more natural sounding (timbre, tone, espec...
