Downsized and still happy, can it happen?
I didn't have some of the exotic stuff mentioned here butI am happy with less equipment and better sound. I switched from Rotel seperates and JM Lab speakers to an Audio Aero integrated and Soliloquy speakers. This downgrade cost less than half of... 
Do you get Ringing in the Ears from your hi-fi?
I was just making an observation...not a recommendation. The ringing, for me, increases greatly with caffiene and alcohol. 
Do you get Ringing in the Ears from your hi-fi?
One thing that I have noticed with the ringing in my ears; since I have switched to silk soft dome tweeter speakers from speakers with metal tweeters, the ringing does not increase after a listening session. The speaker change was coupled with a t... 
Integrated Tube Amp For Soliloquy 5.0 Speakers
I am using an Audio Aero Prima. It is a hybrid integrated using one tube in the preamp section. I have it driving Soliloquy 6.2i's. Used this integrated is a steal in the $600 to $700 range. It has plenty of power for dynamic musicalong with prett... 
Best bargain integrated amp?
Audio Aero Prima is a hybrid integrated. It contains 1 tube in the preamp section. The SS amp portion puts out 40 watts. It has more than enough power and base for dynamic music such as rock. It is quite a bit better than my Rotel seperates that... 
Bryston VS Musical Fidelity
I have compared MF and Rotel. I can not tell the difference.I think that it would be a sideways move for you. 
Trying to decide b/t 5 used speakers w/ Rotel Amp
I have owned Axiom speakers, M60's, with Rotel seperates. With poorly recorded music, rock, they will be quite brite sounding. They are a very revealing speaker. 
Pls advise on budget integrated or pre/power comb.
I used the Rotel amp and pre/pro with my JM Labs Electra 926's. I too thought, on some poorly recorded rock CD's, that the sound was a little bright. I then moved to an Audio Aero Prima integrated amp. The brightness went away and a body came to t... 
HELP for Tinnitus
I too suffer from a ringing in my ears. I have been trying to discover what makes it worse. So far I have found that alcohol, carbohydrates and music louder than normal speech all increase the ringing. The latter is a real bummer for us rock fans!... 
Best intergrated amp for under $2000
I too have the Audio Aero Prima hybrid integrated amp. It is quite a bit better than the Rotel seperates that I was using before. It also cost considerably less money ! Don't get hung-up on brand name recognition. 
Good timing for me.
I second Boa2's recommendation of the Soliloquys. I listento classic rock also and enjoy my 6.2i's. These should be about half of what your budget is used. If you don't like them you can sell them quite easily. 
MMG or Vandersteen
Has anyone tried these with the wall brackets ? The WAF thing . 
speaker connections?
Another vote for bare wire. I used to use bananas until one fell off and shorted out my amp ! 
speaker that project mids farther out into room
I know that you asked for speakers, but I have experiencedwhat you are looking for with a CDP change. I was using a NAD 541i while playing Robert Plant's 66 to Timbukto and had him singing right in front of me. My speakers are 11 ft. away. When I ...

I just purchased this MK I version and it is very good. The used market makes these a steal. I have not heard everything but it is the best that I have heard. It bestsequipment that goes for twice or more of the new price. I was worried about it b...
