Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please
That's too bad about the H/T showroom, and that Whetstone didn't have more to choose from... Either the Rainmakers or Dyns will be great... 
Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please
Rebbi, the Austin shop is Whetstone audio:http://www.whetstoneaudio.com/Brian is really great, he hooked me up with my Cyrus gear - maybe try some of his offerings. BTW, I've tried all of the speakers mentioned so far (and like many of them), but ...

If you're looking for detail try a Cyrus 8vs2 - probably a nice match to Totem... 
Small room, "budget priced" speaker advice, please
If you're coming from Vandys, I'd suggest Ohm MicroWalshes. The Talls are a little more than $850, but if you can stretch, I think they're an amazing speaker. They also have a short version, that's closer to budget.Otherwise, the Totem Arros are n... 
Whats the best $1000 speakers
I've heard a lot of speakers in this price range, and settled on a pair of Ohm MicroWalsh Talls. Powered with a Cyrus 8vs2 Integrated, this combo is pretty amazing. I've had my Ohms for almost 4 years, which has to be a record for me, everything e... 
Krell 400xi vs NAD M3 vs Music Fidelity A5 vs Naim
I just bought a Cyrus 8vs2 to replace my old McIntosh MA 6200. Great sounding amp... 
Looking for a Solidly good inexpensive DAC
I'm using a Lite Audio DAC AM - modified by Pacific Valve. I haven't compared it to other DACs - but it sounds great in my system. 
Creek 5350SE vs Rega Mira 3
04rdking - I just picked up a Cyrus integrated from whetstoneaudio in Austin. The Cyrus chassis is perfect for small spaces, and I really like the sound (replaced a McIntosh integrated). 
Note worthy Omni Directional Speakers..
MicroWalsh Talls - not true omni, but easier to place. The Duevel Planets look hip...

Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
Did anyone notice the new speakers from BlueCircle?A new collaboration with Ohm - did anyone hear them at RMAF? 
Totem Arro and Rainmaker... other speakers?
I agree with Freeryder - I prefer the Arros way over the Rainmakers. I was considering the Arros, but ended up with Ohm MicroWalsh Talls. Both disappear and have bass that defies their cabinet size. The deciding factor for me was mid-range perform... 
McIntosh Intergraded
I have a 6200 and I would recommend it over the 6100. I'm not familiar with the Auditors, so I can't comment on compatibility. The 6200's Power Guard and 5 band EQ are worth any price difference that you'll come across between the two models. It's... 
Genelec Speakers opinions
I'm a film editor and I sit in on lots of mixes - Genelecs have improved in the last two years, but they are very far from neutral. 
Ohm Speakers, thoughts?
The Ohms are far from being hip looking, but thankfully they sound a lot better than they look. I agree that the older Ohms look better, if I ever need speakers for a larger space, I'd look for an old used pair, and have the guys over at Ohm insta...
