Adromada III or sumo nine
My vote is for the Sumo 9. I acquired one at the end of last year and had Mike Bettinger of GASAudio.net restore it this summer. The Nine really does sound phenomenal. After letting it warm up properly the music it makes is wonderful. From cold st... 
Some of the best pre amps used for $600 or less
The McCormack TLC-1 regular or Deluxe are great preamps for under $600. For tube preamps I've read that a Bottlehead Foreplay is a great sounding one as well. You see them pop up every now and then here for under $600. 
Mapleshade bedrock stands for large monitors

What Speakers to use in a bar/restaurant environment
I was at Chipotle last night and I saw that they had quite a bit of Mirage Omnisat V2 speakers mounted upside down high up on the walls and in the lower ceiling joists. The volume level was fine but I don't know how loud it could have gone.
