cello music
Get the Brahms double concerto with Richter, Oistrakh, and Rostropovich. You also get the Beethoven triple concerto on that disc, but the Brahms I believe is the true prize there. Wonderful cello music.Michael 
Best power amp for under 1K
Try some Monarchy SE100 monoblock amps. Fantastic sounding amps (but they do run hot). Also you might consider a McCormack DNA-1. (The DNA 0.5 is also available within your price range, and while I haven't heard the 0.5, it is a very well-respecte... 
Best tube integrated under 1500 new or used
Audio Valve Assistent. With high-efficiency speakers it sounds magnificent.Michael 
Neat cheap amp suggestions . Help me have fun.
I second the Hafler. Great bang for the buck. You might also consider one of the big old amps from Denon, Onkyo, or Kenwood. Michael 
Best Integrated Amp You Ever Heard?
Totem's integrated amp takes my vote. Damn ugly and expensive, but oh so good sounding. For considerably less money, the Music Hall Mambo is a wonderful integrated (with DAC, too) for the price, and can alleviate the need for an expensive CD playe... 
Best 3 to 6 channel amp for around $1000 - $1500
I agree that the Rotel RMB-1075 is nice (I seriously considered purchasing one), but I then compared it to the Sherbourn 5/1500A (which I still own after 5 years) and the Sherbourn clearly came out ahead. Much better bass definition, more clarity ... 
Looking for headphones, any suggestions?
The AKG K1000 fits the bill nicely. It's one of the more interesting sounds I've ever heard. Extremely detailed, with great soundstaging. This unit hooks to the speaker jacks of your amp (powered by a regular amp, not headphone amp). I'd encourage... 
Totem Arros - Tube Amps ?
Grakesh, to answer your question about required amp power to make the Arro's sing, 50W is just fine. I have tried it with a 20W tube amp, and it was severely underpowered, but my amp is 50W and sounds great.Michael 
Totem Home theatre
I also use Arro's for my front left and right speakers of my home theater system. The center channel and rear channels are all PSB Alpha's. The clarity from the Arro's is amazing, and the bass is suprisingly good for their small size.Michael 
Best 3 to 6 channel amp for around $1000 - $1500
You might consider a Sherbourn 5/1500A. I've had one for a few years now and love it. It can drive just about any speaker.Michael 
straight wire dealer?
One of my very favorite dealers, Down to Earth Audio in Salem, VA carries Straightwire. They are very, very good to work with.I've listed their contact information below. (They are open in the evenings on weekdays and all day on Saturdays.)Good lu... 
Totem Arros - Tube Amps ?
Grakesh,I have heard the Arro's with Jolida, Consonance, Marsh, McIntosh, Music Hall (Mambo) and a couple others. (We had a lot of fun at a dealer near where I lived last year trying different amps with those speakers.) Of those, my favorite is th... 
Totem Arros - Tube Amps ?
I have found the Arro's to sound best with warmer tube amps. The Jolida 302b is the best I've heard paired with them. I imagine that the CJ amps suggested here would also work well.Michael 
Decent audio in terrible room?
I would try some Totem Rainmakers or Von Schweikert VR-1's with a Jolida 302b. Add a Music Hall CD player and turntable and you're set. I've heard both speakers in confined places with that amp and they worked beautifully.Michael 
Entry level phono stage
Parasound zPhono. One of the best I've heard for the price ($150).Michael
