Whose sorry now? Sellers remorse from selling amp.
Yup, about two years ago, I let go the Audio Artistry Beethoven Elite system in order to consolidate everything into a small home theater system. I am still suffering from that decision, and to this day, I have not found its equal. 
N802 for Home Theater in small to medium room
I do not know which B&W I would use for the rear. Since I will be placing the main speakers along the long wall, there is not much room in the back for a floor standing type speakers for surround sound. It may have to be something I can hang o...

Audio Artistry Beethovens
Mr. Siegfried Linkwitz also mentioned in his website that he has had good results with Hafler, Muse, and ATI model 1504 beside Jeff Rowland and BEL gear. Is your system fully active?Tom 
Melos Audio MAT 1000 or Audio Research VT 200?

Vandersteen 5's driven by Rouge M120's
I have heard the 5's driven by ARC VT200 and it sounded cold, bright, and not very coherent. Maybe the amp has not had a chance to break in yet. However, when driven by Quicksilver V4 monoblocks (from another dealer), the 5's just sounded wonderfu...
