Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker
Bo1972,What speakers do you prefer? 
Rotel speaker pairing advice
I use Vandersteen's myself. Overall, they are my favourite speaker. I've heard them with Rotel and they sound fine. You still need to listen to them, though. They tend to be very revealing and transparent, and not everyone likes that type of sound. 
Where to go from Rogue M-150 amps?
I use 2 Ayre V-5's on my Vandersteen's. The Rogue's are great but even 1 V-5 would be a big step up. 
Bi-wire speaker cables for ProAc speakers

Marantz - SA-15S2B or Yamaha CD-S2000 or iPod
Will you only consider the 2 amps you list? After reading your post, it looks to me like you are not aware of how good your Model 2's are. There's nothing wrong with either integrated, but they won't even come close to getting the best out of your... 
Rotel speaker pairing advice
You have to be a bit more specific. There are literately thousands of speakers to choose from in your price range. What have you heard so far that you like? 
Tara Labs The One SC and Avalon Speaker
Brownsfan,I think you may have taken my post the wrong way. You don't owe me, or anyone else, an explanation or justification for anything you do. Enjoying your system and the music is the only thing that matters here. I don't keep track of how mu...

Integrates That Go Well With Totem Forest
Does new mean actually brand new or just new as in different than what you have now? 
Cables more hype than value?
"Audiolabyrinth says the Taralabs are to die for, I can try those to see if what he says is true. It's the dinero they want for a simple interconnect that costs nothing to produce that bothers me."If you wanted to make a rectangular solid core con...
