solid state integrateds that will hold their value
I hope you're kidding because, generally, as soon as you drive new gear "off the lot" you can count on a 35-50% haircut. And, said discount applies as early as the day after you buy it. I have been selling on this site for over a decade and always... 
Inexpensive pair of bookshelf speakers.
Pioneer at $100 for the pair will blow your mind. Model is something like BS 22, but I am not in front of them. Look for Stereophile and AS reviews. 
5 Favorite Concerts
Gslone... Gary Thain is the finest rock bassist I've ever heard. Criminally under- appreciated. 
floor-stander speaker for "classical"
Budget is $2K, or under, and the amps I use are Naim, Rega, and a variety of chip and tube models. 
29" Speaker Stands for Paradigm 20 v5 Monitors?
Sound Anchors not cheap, but excellent. 
Outriggers on Verity Audio Parsifals?
I love the idea but do not know how/where to procure. 
Buiding listening room from scratch - need advice
I built a dedicated music room in my basement and the basement flooded with 2 feet of water a few months after the room was built. I would suggest you be very careful...under ground level is a questionable choice. 
Upgrade question. Rega RP3 or RP6.
Get a Rega 3 w/Dyna 10 x 5 and close the book for a while. By the way, I've owned Linns, Nottinghams, Regas and the fabled Tech 1200, modded version. The Tech is cool only because it's iconic. I found it does not play music. 
Speakers that turn your analytical mind off?
But "ass a whole" is really priceless...please leave it alone. Don't edit, even if you can. 
Amp Suggestion for Harbeth C7es3
Used Naim, Exposure or Rega integrated solves your prob. 
Can anyone help me?Please
Just for the record, speakers don't have "watts". Rich Acoustic Labs is a brand-name unfamiliar to me but, if you dig em, keep em. I'd venture a guess that the Rich are not going to make you rich. Forgive me. 
Turntable Upgrade: What Sonic areas will improve?
Love your Exposure gear...great choice. Know nothing about your speakers...have never even heard of the brand. I think a Rega 3,or 6,with Rega or Dyna cart, would compliment your system beautifully. 
Crazy?
Tremendous job on sharing this one, Mr. Buconero. Well done. 
Best Option To Liquidate CD Collection
Never get rid of your CDs. They are your "back-up". You'd be a fool to do so. Forgive me for the harsh tone but I'm seriously trying to show you the light. 
good integrated amp for around $500
Very confused are you (and me). You state you have Zu speakers and then you say you are looking at Focals. I thought you were looking for an integrated. If you are, keep the Zu and get a Fi integrated. The wait (of 1 year) is worth it. It will cos...
