Speakers for Musical Fidelity M6i
I also agree the Focal's and/or PMC would be a good fit for the MF M6i. 
Modwright KWI-200 Integrated, Any experiences?
I sold my KWI-200 earlier this year, not due to any discontent with the IA, but moved onto MW seperates instead. Without a doubt if I wasn't so impressed with the KWI I never would considered the move to seperates. Modwright amps such a joy to lis... 
Tube Preamp vs Solid State
I have had both tube and SS preamps and prefer the warmth the tube preamp provides coupled to the power of the SS amp. 
Integrated Amplifier for Focal 807W
Too loud is too general, the Focal's are very easy to drive. The Sim 600i is way beyond and overkill for this level of speaker. If you look for a used Bryston B-100 or a MF M6i, you will have excellent results. I have not heard the Neo, line but s... 
Stereo power amp for $10k
Consider a Modwright 150SE, a very great sounding amp with some warmth and plenty of power to drive, most, speakers loads, without any strain. 
TEAC AI-3000 Integrated Amp Review
@ Gandalf, I was also interested in the AI-2000, my main concern with this amp is does the amp have enough power to drive less efficient speakers? Mine are rated at 4 ohm 84 dBs, and played at moderate levels. Thanks 
cd player suggestions
Agree with Melbguy1, better to wait and save then to purchase something only to discover its not what you want and half to start over with the buying and selling cycle. By waiting you will save time/money and frustration.  
The best deal on audiogon right now
PMC's builds great speaker I had the FB1i and really like them, It has been mentioned, in other thread, that the best way to own PMC speakers is through the used market anyone eeking to grab the Fact 8 listed just need to be careful. 
Can't decide on Integrated Amp - Please Help
The MA speakers are very easy to drive, the Modwright KWI-200 is a fantastic IA( I owned one and upgraded to separates) and would be there through many speaker upgrades down the road. But for less money the Hegel 200 may be a better fit and is als... 
Tube amp repair shop in/near NYC?
Also try Elite Audio 
State of the Source: Server, computer....or what?
Moving to a music based server system is very appealing, I have been interested in the Music Vault in particular, and find that this type of system is useful for management of large CD collections.The issues seem to be a check list of core hardwar... 
Speakers with max of 32" high
Check out Monitor Audio RX-6, it's is 32" high affordable and sounds good for its price point. 
solid state integrateds that will hold their value
The Modwright KWI-200 is a great IA, plenty of info on the web. Sadly it does not hold its value as other brands, altho it's very well built, sounds great and is MFG in the US, none the less it's a great buy as used or demoed. 
Time for some new speakers
If your are considering Salk, very fine speakers with great WAF, then also consider Selah and Vapor audio. I have found out that the value of their speakers are very hard to beat. All three build very high quality speakers that are hard to beat ve... 
Suggestions? Tubed linestage pre-amp??
The Modwright LS-100 is an exceptional PA, and falls within your budget new. There is a used one, in sliver, listed on AC, it is not mine nor do I know the seller.
