When time permits, I'm planning on a road trip from several states away to visit Johnny Ruttan's Audio Connection.  This based on his always helpful and constructive posts here, and a subsequent telephone conversation.  My route will include a wid... 
Dynaudio vs Harbeth vs ProAc
@fast Check out @milpai's threads on his quest.  Ended up between Spendor D7/9 and ProAc, and he went ProAc.  If you're anywhere near New Jersey, be sure to visit audioconnection 
Rogue Cronus Magnum II, but I have depth constraints..
Just looked at the Command Performance AV website, which has been completely updated.  They also seem to carry a slew of brands.  Are they still in that semi-subterranean space?  Last time I was there it already seemed cramped, and they seem to be...

I have the Ashkenazy/Maazel recording on London, but haven't listened to it in ages.  Pulled out and up for listening soon.

Looking for speaker recommendations that I can purchase on Amazon.com
That ELAC is an old model.They recently introduced the ADANTE, at right around 5K, which has been getting very good reports from the electronics shows.  But it's not on Amazon... 
Picking a Tube integrated amp
No love for Rogue?  Made in the U.S. of A.If the Cronus Magnum II isn't enough, consider RP5 preamp + Stereo 100 power. 
Binding Post Jumpers - New Product!!!
I think it all depends on how your cables are terminated, what kind of connections your speakers have, and what the binding posts can handle.My single-wire Wireworlds have spades.  I then bought matching Wireworld jumpers with bananas on one end a...
