Good points made above regarding matching speakers to the room. I had an epiphany of sorts last year when I dropped the small Katz Meows in my 12' x 13' room. I had been fighting trying to get good sound in here for several years with Maggie's, Ma... 
Which direction should I go?
Screw the bills. They can take the house but they'll never take your gear ;)I won't tell you what to do of course, but if I were in your situation I would get a pair of efficient floortanders and a low power SET for option 2. I think you might be ... 
Why amps, pre-amps, integrated amps???
A receiver is a tuner (to get radio), a preamp (selects what input you want to listen to and controls volume) and an amp that drives the speakers. Basically 3 boxes in one box. If the receiver has a phono section and a headphone section then make ... 
speakers for an 845 SET AMP?
I have Lores also and like them a lot. I drive them with a 4 watt SET amp but have also heard them with a 100 watt tube integrated in a large room and they sounded great. $1000 new direct from Tekton Design.They also just released the $850 Oriel 1... 
tube amp not turning on
If the fuse is blown it's probably the fuse 
How can you tell the quality of the recording?

Budget Chinese Tube amps - any good?

How can you tell the quality of the recording?
Uh, I guess I just listen to if it sounds good or not.I think I didn't understand the question... 
pre amp volume
I believe the db setting indicates the amount of attenuation. IOW the volume control is attenuating the signal by 32db, etc. 
Piano and Trumpet can sound bright
What's your room like? Treated, lots of hard surfaces? 
Looking to upgrade my setup.
Hello Rolsson - A budget will be helpful, and also details about your room, music preferences, how loud you listen, etc. Are there limits as to the size of the speakers, placement?You might start by looking through member's systems to get ideas. 
Need advice, on a preamp for a Denon DL-130R
Not sure what "break the bank" means to you, but I use a Musical Surroundings Nova Phonomena with my 103r. It has DIP switches for Capacitance, Resistance, and Gain that work well with the low output 103r. The Nova which runs on rechargeable batte... 
Why Don't More People Love Audio?
I love to watch sports, both in person and (mostly) on TV. But I could care less if it's on a big screen, Hi Def, etc. My friend has a big screen Hi Def surround system and now that I think of it he chides me because I have, and am perfectly happy...

The Oriel appears to be in the Lore cabinet but with different 10" drivers and different tweeters. Looks like the drivers in the $2500 Pendragon but I don't know for sure. I own Lores and am tempted just to see how the new ones sound. To be honest...
