Diva , PSB , Dynaudio or Meadowlark ?
Not to repeat myself, but Underwoodwally can get you a pair of 6.3 in your price range. He is also part of Diva U.S. distributor. I got a pair in November and love them. E-mail me if you would like additional information. 
Diva , PSB , Dynaudio or Meadowlark ?
I suggest that you add Soliloquy 6.3 to your list. Contact Audiogon member Underwoodwally for information on Soliloquy and Diva products. I give him my highest recommendation. 
bananas or spades?
I also feel that quality spades provide the best connection whenever convenient. If you decide to go bananas, I strongly suggest the locking variety. I am currently using Monster X-Terminator locking bananas with good results. Cost $25-$30 per pair. 
Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile???
Charles, I like your suggestions, but you must be quoting retail prices. I got my SR-7000 for $675 in November.Plato, as a current NAD owner, I think you should definitely research NAD options. Brady 
Any mid-priced Receivers Worthwhile???
I am also quite satisfied with my Marantz SR7000, which you should be able to find for around $675 - $700. SR8000 was very similar with better remote (RC2000) for about $200 more. I got a Pronto, so I didn't need the RC2000 (which is an excellent ... 
Why pay "more" for USED??
I watched this auction also. Macm, bid history is suspicious, but I can vouch for the sellers. They are first class and would not try to manipulate the process; check their eBay feedback. I bought a pair of B&W CDM-NTs from them last August an... 
In wall speakers
Sonance has a very broad range of in-walls. Very popular with custom installers. Website is www.sonance.com if you want to take a look. Try to listen before you buy. 
Best Custom Audio / Video Wall unit
Try www.diamondcase.com for some ideas. I have not done business with them. I did have a phone conversation with them and they seemed both knowledgeable and professional. 
Stainless Steel audio racks?
The URL I have for Bell'o seems to be dead (www.belloggetti.com). You can find some of their items at www.800.com or other internet retailers. You might also want to look at www.boltz.com and www.billybags.com for some different styles. 
Hafler Amps
I second Elizabeth's comment that this is the best site. I have had mixed results with eBay, some great and some not so great. I have owned a Hafler DH-200 amp and DH101 preamp for twenty years and agree that the DH200 would be a good entry level ... 
Soliloquy 5.3 Linn Ninka or B W? Help?
Talk to Underwoodwally here on Audiogon about Soliloquy. He can get you a pair of 6.3s in your price range. E-mail me if you want more details. 
1K speaker advice?
Listen to the B&W CDM-1NT. You should be able to find a new pair in your price range. Don't just take our advice, go listen and make your own decision. Good Luck! 
silverline sonatina vs soliloquy 5.3
I believe the Soliloquy 6.3s might be more comparable to the Sonatina in price and has a better bottom end than the 5.3s. I bought the 6.3s in November here on Audiogon and am very satisfied with them. 
Revel M20, Soliloquy 5.3, Silverline
Look at the Soliloquy 6.3s; they are a great speaker at that price point. I got a pair of 6.3s and a C3 center channel for my new home theater system about a month ago. Love them. Have not heard the other speakers you mentioned, so I can not compa... 
Kudos for dealer
I have also had a very favorable experience here on Audiogon. I recently completed three transactions with Walter Liederman. His user id is Underwoodwally. Walter is a consumate professional and I recommend him highly. I found him to be knowledgab...
