ATC SCM20SLs en route Stands, cables...
Loftarasa, Did you get your speakers? Mine came and they're wonderful. Copper cables work fine with them. Nothing fancy, just basic 12 gauge. Get some metal stands (at least 4 pillar) that you can fill with sand or better yet, lead shot if you can...

I've got a pair coming too. I'm going to use Hypex based amps with them. I've got both silver and copper cables to try. 
Active monitors, 3k used, great nearfield sound
I own the Focal Twin 6's and love em'. You can get a new pair for a couple hundred more than you're looking to spend. It's nice to have that warranty. 
Good CD for testing bass response

active speakers, Paradise? Trouble in paradise?
For several months, I used a pair of Focal Twin 6 actives in my living room while my home studio was being built. They sounded wonderful. So much so, that I was sad when I moved them out of there. They need a bit of break in time, but man they sou... 
Eventus Audio Metis: Interested In Your Experience
Congrats on the new speakers. How can you hear guitarists moving around the stage on older live rock albums? 
Channel Islands D-100 Amplifier
Wow, talk about bringing an old thread back to life. I'm still using my D-200's. I previously had a Mac 402 and Pass Labs X250.5, and the D-200 are staying. They're easy to move, run extremely cool, and use virtually no electricity, and cost less ... 
Eventus Audio Metis: Interested In Your Experience
Looks like you're going to be the one to get the ball rolling. I know of no one who has a pair. I looked at them when shopping for speakers, but passed when I couldn't find any info about them. If they sound as good as they look, you should be fin... 
Are nearfield speakers homeworthy for personal use
If you're looking for a pair of active monitors with good looks, then take a look at the Focal Twin 6. I used them in my living room and they sounded great. I'm using them in my studio now. They cost less than half what the Barefoots cost. Lots of... 
Are nearfield speakers homeworthy for personal use
I think you can use any kind of speaker anywhere you want if it sounds good to you. It does pay to listen to them first if you can.

Best mod of analog outputs for TASCAM DV-RA1000HD
Why not wait until the warranty expires before you send the unit off for upgrades? If something would happen to go wrong, Tascam would take one look inside and void your warranty. Just food for thought. By the way, I have the same unit and mine so...

The newest Stibbert is far from mediocre. It's a great sounding CDP.

Well Rounded Speakers $2500-$3000?
If you're in the $3k range, add about $300 to your budget and look at the Focal Twin 6 Active speakers. Then sell your power amp to recoup the $300 (or more depending on what you've got).
