Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock?
Golden Ear Triton 2+ for 3500.00 or Triton 1 for 5,000 if you can swing it.  I have the Triton 2 and Triton 1 in 2 different systems.  I listen to 90% rock and they are the best high end speakers within reason (price) that do rock extremely well.

Request advice-need "brighter" speakers than Totem Hawks
"The Pendragon's totally outperform B&W, Golden Ear and Triangle."The Pendragons definitely do NOT outperform the Golden Ear speakers.   I tried the Pendragons in my secondary system and I kept asking, where's the bass?   I schlepped those mon... 
Newbie looking for amplifier advice

Focal Aria 936 vs 926 bass response
I would get the 936 from the dealer and if it doesn't work out in your room, return them for the 926 instead. 
repair or replace luxman preamp
First thing I would do is put a fresh set of batterys in the remote. 
Is a Power Amp the Answer?
This is a little more than your price range, but a Parasound Halo integrated amp will make your Triton 5 speakers sing. I run mine with the Triton 2 and it is truly a match made in heaven. The Halo integrated comes up used here once in a while. I ... 
Is it worth upgrading my power conditioner to Shunyata?
I use 3 Shunyata Hydras (older ones) in my main system with all Shunyata power cords.  The Shunyata conditioners do NOT limit current in any way.  As a result, I have dead quiet background and a crystal clear sounding system.  I wouldn't even cons... 
Need recommendation for a CD player
I purchased my last cd/sacd player and it is an Esoteric.  I did it mainly for the very robust build quality and that they will be able to service the player if need be for years and perhaps decades to come.
