Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@kokakolia in my experience, and in my system, and to my ears, those little class T / D amps -when they are well built- can be far better sounding than any mass-market class AB solid state amps, like entry level Japanese. Then when you go higher i... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@kokakolia  okay, I'm curious (although I'm wary of the "barely any difference" affirmations) it's probably a neat little amp, I wonder if the TA2024 is an original tripath or a brand new Chinese copy (as long as it works it doesn't really matter)... 
Class D amplifier with TPA 3250 board
@atmasphere I'm not familiar with the Topping amps but, aside from the Trends and Breeze Audio used in my main system, I own a few SMSL cheapies and I don't find them boring sounding. YMMV of course, and they certainly aren't as good and refined a...

There's a pair of RB75 for sale, at the moment.  
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
I must add that even when playing "audiophile approved" music, having lived with ultra high sensitivity speakers for years (and the micro and macro dynamics that go with those), I find a lot (if not most) of audiophile speakers (at least those tha... 
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
For stand mounts, I'd try to find some Klipsch RB75 second hand: an 8inch woofer and a compression driver. I wouldn't go for the lesser models, with a horn loaded tweeter instead of a true compression driver.   My system is huge, fully horn load...
