Plinius 8200 MkII -- best integrated ss amp?
Stick with escargot. In this case, it's a match made in heaven--with your Mini Utopias, that is. I'm Passion-ate over mine....peace, warren 
Thiel 1.6 - bass
Leon, having owned the 1.5s and having auditioned the 1.6s, I find it hard to believe that you don't feel a loss in the bottom end. You're lucky, then. Even though I wound up with the M20s, which by themselves, have more bottom end extension than ... 
Review: Star Sound Technology Sistrum SP-4 Audio Rack Stand
Mephisto, this is music to my ears. I have everything, and I mean everything in my system sitting on Audiopoints, including a Sistrum cdp, and amp support rack system, as well as their Mini Monitor support system. I couldn't have said it better. W...

I've a confession to make don't tell my wife
Don't forget about the idea of coupling your entire system. You've got nothing to lose. Audiopoints?- don't like 'em? Send them back for a refund. Can't beat that. You won't return 'em. Your tympanics are going to tingle. peace, warren

Well, you're almost there. Now, that you've gotten a taste of what mediocre coupling can do for your speakers; put audiopoints under your speakers, instead of those "silver" jammies for killer coupling. Then, (but you don't have to wait until "the... 
Review: Audio Magic Matrix AC filter
They are these little "EL" copper pipe pieces. They are shaped in a very small "el." LETTER L. that's the deal. Weighty enough to hold down your Stealth.

Review: Audio Magic Matrix AC filter
Put the Stealth on 1" Audiopoints (3) and put solid copper(of the best resonance transference metals) on the top, to just barely hold your Stealth steady on the cones. Buy some copper, (plumbing section) els at Home Depot. They're quite good, and ...

Bookshelf or floorstander?
Don't have a clue about the Dynaudios. Never heard them. The Revel stands suck. Yeh, you're right, they don't rob you $ wise. Just sound wise. I liked the M20s much better than the 805s. Just because I like the M20s better, doesn't mean you will. ... 
Bookshelf or floorstander?
Dennis, if you're thinking of the Dynaudios (great speakers), check into the Revel M20s. I love mine. With my stands (read my review, in the archives--Sistrum Mini Monitor Platforms) and sub, (and, of course, a few good electronics, to boot) I'm g... 
Bookshelf or floorstander?
Z, I forgot to mention: E, does mention the stands, but almost as an incidental sidebar. It sounds like he was discounting them, by putting his speakers on a bookshelf. At least that's the way I read it. Maybe I'm wrong on that. I'm not for anythi... 
Bookshelf or floorstander?
Lots of variables here. We all seem to agree with that. I prefer to let my main speakers run full range and let my sub handle only the Hz my mains cannot. Therefore, a very low crossover is desirable, for my taste. If your mains are very limited i... 
Bookshelf or floorstander?
Bookshelf speakers? I've yet to see or hear a bookshelf speaker on a shelf. I will say this: there is no better way to kill the dynamics, soundstage, the whole nine, of a speaker, then to put it on a bookshelf. If they are monitor type speakers or...
