New Amp help/recomendations?
Look, I have direct experience with Raven Reflection MK2.  It drove Sonus Faber Amati Tradition Homage Speakers.  A couple of facts....Outstanding customer service, a great owner in Dave Thomson, and some of the best tubes you could ever possibly ... 
Wilson Audio for a 1600 sq ft space
My original speakers in my large room were the Wilson Audio Duette 2's.  Great little speakers but not for a giant room.  I listened to the Wilson X-1 versus the SF Amati Tradition Homage Speakers and imo, the SF were far better than the X-1.  Con... 
Another Newbie, Another Help Thread
EVO 400 is excellent but I had the Raven Reflection MK2 and it was frikking awesome.  It may be more than what you want to spend but there are others in the Raven Line-up that you could also consider.  Call Dave Thomson at Raven.   
To horn or not to horn
You might want to read my forum...Horn Speaker Suggestions.  I went through a very long process before deciding on horn speakers.  Never in a million years did I think I would end up with horn speakers.  I listened to tons of very high end non hor...

Home Theater Speakers exclusively
I am building my third theater room in 10 years.  My first set of speakers were in wall RBH.  They were very good.  My next theater room I had Dali Epicon In wall speakers.  For my latest theater room I am going to try Tekton Double Impact in a 5-...

Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef
The other good thing about the Wilson Audio Duette 2's is that they can be played right up against a wall.  Yes, my wife did not like the look of them either but they were in the great room.  You don't have to get them with the stands.  They can c... 
New high end processor
I had the Marantz 8805 in my last theater room with a Lexicon RX7 amplifier.  For my new theater room I went with Integra DRX -R1.  The marantz was fine.  The Integra is an all in one unit with plenty of power.  You may want to read the reviews on...

Power Conditioner: Isotek, Audioquest or other?
I had the Isotek EVO for my theater room and two channel room in my last house.  With all of the other tweaks that I had I could not really say that there was a grave difference in sound from the Power Conditioners.  That said for my new house I p... 
Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef
Typo - meant to say Tune Tots not Tiny Tots 
Small Office - Wilson vs B&W vs Kef
For that size of room, you should also consider the Wilson Tiny Tots and Duette 2's.  At one point, I had the Duette 2's in a room 4 times the size of your room and they were awesome.  They would be killer in your room.  I am not a fan of the B&am...

HEAUDIO:  I would assume the JVC NX9 is the same projector as the RS3000????  Are you a dealer by chance?
