Upgrade my amp again
Hi all-As always, I learn a lot from the conversation here and am grateful to all who weighed in. (I have only been slow to respond because I've been stuck cleaning the basement all weekend. It's clean now!) To respond to some of what has been rai... 
Speaker advice redux?
Duke- I read through and quite enjoyed the discussion. No worries at all! And Bob, thanks again! I did see Robert Reina's review of the Creek Evolution 50a and am pleased he thinks so highly of it. I hadn't seen Mike Creek's comment but will go lo... 
Speaker advice?
Thanks, Richard, you're actually not too late. And someone else was also just telling me to reconsider the Elan 10. I had eliminated it because of Al's warning (see post 6/17) about the impedence curve. Given that, can I ask what size amplifier yo... 
Speaker advice?
Thanks all. After talking this over more with my dad, I am going to give the Dynaudios a try. If they don't work well, I will sell them and try the Minuets or the Spendors. I am actually delighted to know about these other speakers, as I have some...

One other question to Tony and other advocates of the Minuets: would you advocate going this direction even without a subwoofer? Because I probably won't do get one for this room... 
Speaker advice?
This is really helpful, Tony. Thanks.

Speaker advice?
Thanks again, everyone. Al, I have taken the Epos out of the running. Still thinking really seriously about the Spendors, Harbeths, Minuets, RS1. Someone also suggested the Dulcet Ref3a, which maybe does a bit more bass. My listening, by the way, ... 
Speaker advice?
Hello all,Thanks so much for the good advice.  I am getting a real education!  I should have explained originally that I have a shelf issue that gives me about 12 inches of depth (not including cords and cables) for amp and cd.  So this knocks out...
