The new OPPO Digital UDP-203 question
Did Oppo drop the previous models HDCD capabilities from the UDP-203? 
Integrated for Vandersteen 2ce sigII
Not  an "integrated", but pretty close; how about a :   Mod Squad Line Drive +   McCormack DNA 1 =------------------------------------an inexpensive nearly perfect fit for Vandy 2's

^Might be a little current limited for Jafant's 2.4 SE's.

CAVEAT: I have no relationship to the seller, and this is not an endorsement of this particular unit.For those looking for a very high value, fairly inexpensive amp that would work very nicely with  those older Thiel's that have a minimum impedanc...

 With regard to balanced operation; with adapters or conversions, one could still appreciate that the cables themselves would still have the advantages of superior noise rejection.  True balanced would be better still, maintaining the advantages o... 
Conrad Johnson SS amps
^Perhaps I should have said earlier c-j MF ss amps. I believe the latter ones use both mosfets and bipolars. 
Conrad Johnson SS amps
I think the Sonographe amps unlike the c-j MF ss amps used bipolar devices.  Though sounding slightly different, both were very good. Either one might be preferable depending on the rest of the system. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
^With those dispersion characteristics, and everything else; is the ideal surround sound speaker?

I think we have a winner!Incredible! 
Tubeyist sounding Pre-amp?
At $500 for a tube unit, I'd think more about condition than sonics.Also, with your amplifiers rather low single ended input impedance, it might narrow your most likely to be single ended output tube preamp options. Not sure if you need a phono st...

^interesting yes, but if I'm missing something please point it out to me; where are the specs, measurements, tolerances? Without which, I don't think they can qualify.  
Seeking Suggestions on Preamp Upgrade (CJ, Aesthetix, EAR)
FYI:  The prevailing rule of thumb is that the input impedance of amplifiers should be 10 X greater than the output impedance of  preamplifiers.  The Pass XA30.5 input impedance is spec'd at single ended: 15K Ohms and at balanced:  30K Ohms.  c-j ...

With the Pass amp you would do well to give extra consideration towards a balanced preamp.

What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
I think "Plays flat to 16 Hz. " might be a bit generous:http://www.stereophile.com/content/goldenear-technology-triton-two-loudspeaker-measurements#XYlmKGoz...
