McIntosh - is it that great?
If you're looking for a reciever and don't need remote control, I would imagine the 4280 would be good. some info:http://www.roger-russell.com/rcvrs.htm#mac4280You can also try audioclassics.com 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
They ARE nice sounding speakers, but we'll see if they pass the long-term test. 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
As I mentioned above, my time with the VR4jrs was much less than After_hrs, but my impressions were the same. I felt the same driver "dis-integration" and although they were lots of fun to listen to, I still felt like I was dealing with audio gymn... 
NAD C 350 vs Mc Intosh MA 6100
I have a 6200 from '91 (last year produced) and chose it over nad, Arcam...I'd recommend the Mac. Our tastes may differ, but the Mac is a more subtle performer, definitely from a company with a background in tubes. Of course, resale is great, time... 
How would you desribe Von Schweiket VR-4jr sound?
I only heard them at the HE show in NYC - they sound rather "hi-fi" to me. But that's obviously a quick demo. 
Ohm Walsh 4 Month Home Trial Money-Back Guarantee?
Although today's Ohms are a variation of the original, they definitely benefit from that full range design. Today's models with the addition of the tweeter and a bass port, makes them easier to drive. Thankfully the tweeter doesn't kick in until m... 
Paradigm Studio v2 VS. Vandersteen 2Ce Signature ?
I'm familiar with the Vandys, but I haven't heard them side by side with the 60s. I did recently hear an old pair of Meadowlark Kestrels next to the Paradigms, and experienced what has been mentioned above. The 60s just drew attention to themselve... 
Ohm Walsh 4 Month Home Trial Money-Back Guarantee?
I recommend that you try the Ohms! There are many great options in your price range, but with a money back/4 month trial period, it's worth a try. They are very capable of what you are looking for.My system is a very similar. My Mac integrated is ...

OHM Speakers
Hey Magnequest - I hear the new Ohm drivers are of better quality, and will last longer. I hope that's true, but if mine go, I'll let you know!

Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
I've tried to like the sound of Joseph speakers, but I don't think I ever will. It seems a lot of other listeners think they're great, so yes, it's possible to design a time in-coherent speaker and still have an audience. Personally I stand behind... 
Phase Coherence or Time Alignment: Which More Imp?
Jeff Joseph seems like a very good guy, he gave a nice presentation in New York last week. Yes, with his speakers' performance he finds himself in good company, but only through a time coherent speaker can one accomplish the acoustic output as a d... 
smaller speaker suggestions
I still thing the Ohm MicroWalsh talls are the most WAF, while still sounding great. I think they're 36x6x6. The finishes aren't furniture grade, but atleast they're small. These are definitely "music-listening" speakers, not "hi-fi-listen-to-my-r...
