Looking at Proceed BPA 2, AMP 2, HPA 2.
Anyone? 
Bel Canto S300 with an Audio Research LS3 Q's
Is it safe to say this would sound bright? How about a cary amp like the caa1? 
Swan Dulcet 3.2 ,Focal JMLab Chorus 716 etc.
No one has an opinion on these odd brands?? 
Looking for speakers less than 1500 used or new
Yeah, I flirted with the tube deal, but that stuff gets spendy fast!! I was looking at vintage ARC, Conrad Johnson, but I figure my speakers are the ones that need change next, even though they have much better than stock drivers in them from vifa...

The detail of the maggies are nice, but then i'm looking at a new subwoofer to go with it, since all the maggies I have heard sound good high and mid, but bass is on a lunch break or something!! also have pets that would wreak havoc on them. I gue...

The brands listed are the ones that look interesting to me and have a good amount of favorable reviews on them in audioreview.com Anyone have any experience with those?

I like detail and warm. Something that makes the speakers disappear and puts out as real of an experience as possible. I listen to anything from enya and the cure to techno. 
Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
I would say as a blanket that that's the case, but in my experience, some of the most disappointing stuff as been the really expensive. Case in point, a few years back i auditioned a Krell player/preamp that was about 9-12k, I forget. But it was v... 
The best CD Player for the money
NAD 502. The best bang for the buck. beats the Rega planet/2000, Proceed cdp. Replaced my Wadia transport/theta dac setup. In the end the players/transports are going to crap out, since they are composed of moving parts. So I went with the 502. Wh... 
Were to go after a Rega Planet 2000?
I was where you are at a few years back. My NAD 502 that I loved died, so I looked around, tried a Planet. Then Moved up to the Planet 2000. Then Sold that and bought a Wadia 3200 transport Supported by a Theta DAC. Sold that and what did I end up... 
How does Red Rose compare to older Levinson stuff?
I was just looking for something that would be upgrades to my ML1 Levinson preamp and Audio research d100 amp. Integrated is what I'm leaning towards. 
Mark Levinson ML1 pre and Audio Research d100
Thanks. I figure that since these components are fairly old, technology has to have caught up!! Do you have a take on the Meridian integrated, Musical Fidelity or Arcam integrateds? They all seem to be in the ballpark price wise.
