Best receiver/amp for warming up Monitor Audio Gold 300’s
I settled on the Anthem 1120 since I got a great deal on one yesterday. Got close to $1000 off of the going price so I’m okay with it. I don’t need 11.2 coverage but what I wanted was the better than MRX 720 amp that comes with the MRX 1120. From ... 
Best receiver/amp for warming up Monitor Audio Gold 300’s
Thanks akg_ca.  That Cyrus certainly looks the business.  Too rich for me at the moment.   But something to look at getting in the future.   
KEF Ref 201 vs Merlin TSM MXM to multichan system
Thanks very much for your imput Bobby. I will persue some more info on the NAD recievers. Coupled with the stellar reviews and a friend thats heard the TSM's, Ive settled on the TSM's. Im hoping they get along with my Velodyne DD10's well.

Thanks Bobby for your response. I will look into the solid state reciever. Any suggestions on brand of SS reciever that work best with your speakers?Also on your site I didnt see specific pricing on the "black magic edition". What is the price ran... 
KEF Ref 201 vs Merlin TSM MXM to multichan system
Ok let's try this again. I'm building up slowly and I'd like to build around a great set of speakers. So anyone has any history with both KEF Reference 201 vs the Merlin TSM MXM? Any thoughts on the best receiver to pair with either?

Richardfinegold which Marantz would you choose to pair with the Parasound? AV 7005? The new SR 7007?

Def tech supercube reference or REL R-528
Thanks for the very informative replies. After listening to what you each said I think I'll lean toward the REL. I did not think about the connectivity until Rrog mentioned it. I just assumed they all connected the same way. Silly me lol. I have ... 
Def tech supercube reference or REL R-528
Well just got off the phone with an audio shop and they reccommended I go with the Vandersteen 2w over the REL or SC Reference. Ive heard and read good reviews about the Vandersteens from users and pros before. So I guess Vandersteen 2w is added t...

What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Ok that adds some depth to what you have said before. BTW I dont mind if someone bashes the DT's. Im not married to them at all. Id just prefer constructive responces over just arbitrary bashing with no real experience with the speakers or the spe... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Audiofreak this is the internet and anyone can say anything. All I can go by is what you wrote. You started out by saying this: "I own Def Techs for theater setup... I have never heard any sound good enough for dedicated 2-ch music." This was spec... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Audiofreak how can you come to the conclusion that DT doesn't make speakers for music when all you have experience with is their lowend "THEATER" speakers? This makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. Thats like me buying a low end video card from n... 
What is your take on Def Tech XTR60's?
Yes I'm noticing that Robert. I will look into the Rogue and parasound options you mentioned as well. Im going to take my time on this and be very deliberate with the pre/pro and amp purchases. For now I will stick with the DT's until I become bet...
