Active speakers for a large room
Nice choice. 
Great country recording
Used Train a Comin' by Steve Earle to audition speakers years ago. Still a fav. 
Belles / Power Modules Inc. Status
Was a few years ago, but I purchased a 21A replacement remote from him after I phoned the website phone# and he answered. 
Bookshelf speakers $500 -$700
Most of the near field monitors will require an XLR connection. You could use your TLP1 (selling your amp as suggested) and get an RCA to XLR cable from Monoprice.Check out the Sweetwater reviews of the JBL LSR305s. I've had a pair for six months.... 
Exemplary active nearfield speakers under $1k?
Consider Focal CMS 40. Well priced accept RCA input, which not all professional monitors do. I have the CMS 50s which are great for a desktop. 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE

I spoke with Steve at Decware about the ERR model. He was quite helpful. About eight weeks wait time for ERR speakers in the standard finish. I am struggling with my room and speaker positioning, so a more forgiving radial/omni style speaker does ... 
Good rock LPs not rare?
I intended my post to promote Elvis Costello's first few LPs. Apologies if it sounded like anything else.I am working my way through a couple hundred records, some forty years old. They've been stored indifferently, transported from dorm to apt to... 
Good rock LPs not rare?
Thanks for the effort. Bet I can find 1/3 of your list in my basement. I just started listening to my old records again. I steam cleaned My Aim is True and cued it up on a P3-24 with a Dynavector 10X5 and P75 pre. The kick drum and bass were punch...
