Bookshelf/subwoofer combo
I saw that someone above mentioned Joseph Audio.  I strongly agree with that recommendation.  I had the Pulsars and a pair of small REL subs.  Great match.  In a similar sized room I went to floor standers from that combination.  Very significant ... 
A Disc Review: The Cowboy Junkies - Whites Off Earth Now!!
@hifi1967 Thanks for the great review.  I hadn't heard this.  I'm streaming on Tidal while I write this.  Love the cover of Springsteen on the second cut.  
Soundsmith Relocating
Just to be clear, I'm not really complaining about Soundsmith, I actually understand better now why I've been waiting.  I posted it just to let people know who might also be waiting.  I'm sympathetic to what has happened, though it would have been...

Bookshelf speaker pairing with subwoofer
Joseph Audio Pulsars pair beautifully with REL subs.  
USB Cables: beginning the rabbit hole
I suggest you look at the Cardas Clear High Speed Serial Buss.  Should fit your price point.  It splits the signal and power lines between two cables, similar to the Curious Cable, for better isolation of the signal.  I have both, I prefer the Car... 
Recommended for Americana Fans: Amanda Ann Platt and the Honeycutters
Great recommendation.  Thanks!  
Cardas Clear XLR interconnects
My suggestion would be to buy a 4m pair.  Honestly, a mismatched pair would be nearly impossible to sell later.  You'd have to find someone with exactly the same need later.

???YOUR Personal Favorite???Why???
One more vote for the Joseph Audio Pulsar.  I owned a pre-graphene pair for several years and they were an excellent speaker across all types of music.
