Need a Amp with Volume Control
Your TV has fixed, variable and Toslink outputs on the back of it. You may have to turn those features on using the on screen menus in order for them to work.

WyWire Blue speaker cable or Kimber Kable 12TC?
I think Rogue is a really good choice. You can do far worse. I haven't heard the models you are considering but from the Rogue gear that I have heard, I like it very much. Also, its made in the US and they are a very good company to deal with if y... 
Stereo Guy wants center channel
Are you sure you have your sources set up correctly? I'm not too interrested in HT so I may be wrong, but its possible you may need to set your sources for 2 channel playback, if you can. If they are set for 5 or 7 channels, that will definately c... 
Need Interconnect Advice
If you are using Golden Gate right now and think its OK, I still suggest you try to find a pair of used Jaguar. Its a much better cable. Its almost the same as the model that replaced it (Columbia). I have several pairs of Jaguar and Columbia and ... 
I need help diagnosing a sibilant problem on vinyl
If maybe 100 is 100 hours, that may be your problem. Phono carts need a lot of break in. To me a new cart can actually sound broken. If you are not keeping track of how many hours you have, it probably is a lot less than 100. Its a bit of work put...

Sunnyjim,Do you have an amp yet? I've been very busy these last couple of weeks so I haven't been able to follow some of the threads. I was going to list some amps that you may like, but then I read your post asking about integrates instead. And t... 
Tried a Bryston 4B with Maggies
I don't think we have enough info here to make a judgement either way. I know Bryston makes very powerful amps but what if the OP has a really big room? Or maybe he's using a passive line stage and his source doesn't have enough gain to get the vo... 
Tried a Bryston 4B with Maggies
J_stereo,"(I like the Audio Research D300 better, but only marginally, and it was a much more expensive amp than the Bryston)."Do you still have that amp? The D300 and the D400 have to be 2 of the most underrated SS amps I can think of. (When they... 
Cables more hype than value?
"But there were people who did not hear it. The person of Nordost became irritated that he didn't hear it. So he made a big misstake."The person from Nordost did hear it. He was just mad that you could hear it too. 
Audio Research Dac8 question
ARC has made some bright sounding components over the years, but I don't think that's the problem here. The most likely cause for your problem is how your Mac is set up. There's a lot to it. Its not good enough to just have the right OS, software ...

How many hours do you have on the Elys? 
Moving tall ESL's across town, no boxes. Advice
If you have access to a car with a hatchback and rear seats that fold down, they'll fit. Depending on the car, you may have to move one at a time, but you shouldn't have any problems.

I was going to recommend a pair of Vandersteen 3's. It's an incredibly good all speaker. They're pretty much exactly what you are asking for. That said, I think you should consider another amp before you do anything. I had a 5i myself and found it...
