I had a GFA 555II for a couple years. Bought it used. I never had tuff speakers to drive,so that thing never broke a sweat. I think I sold it for what I paid for it. 
Most impressive small footprint speaker
I recently picked up a used pair of Spendor S3/5's. In my small 13x9 listening room they are absolutely addictive. They disappear,throw a wonderful 3D soundstage. Way better bass than I would have ever thought reading their specs.  
I lied to my wife about the price of Stax 009S headphone
I take a small allowance each month. This is my audio mad money. My wife has no problem with my gear or my listening room. As long as I don't dip into our savings,we are both happy!  
I went from Class D to Luxman A/AB - And most of what you think is wrong
How is durability/reliability of class D vs other technology? I know this is a rather broad question.

Will 2 watts monoblock 45 tube amp work for 90db speakers ?
I occasionally run my Boxer 2's with a 10 watt tube amp. It works fine at lower to medium listening levels. You will not have to worry about the neighbors calling the police.     Hope this helps,       Ray

Anyone else own EPI/Epicure "back in the day?"
My first speakers in 1979 were a pair of EPI 180's. I really enjoyed them. To my ears,they seemed to do everything pretty well.
