under $300 bookshelfs: does excitement exist?
I second Acoustic Energy.. 
Monitor or fullrange ?
Give the Ruarks a try, you will not be dissapointed. 
Dynaudio Audience 52 SE or B&W 705
Dyna's...no question about it, they are in a different league. 
Energy Veritas 2.1 sound too lean
Edg2, I break in all my speakers like this..and it works..place them on the floor with the grills facing each other, and place them very, very close together and put one of the speakers out of phase...then place some pillows over the top and sides... 
Ever gone from seperates to an integrated?
SE, I disagree vehemently. 
Ever gone from seperates to an integrated?
I too, will never back to separates...I am using a Plinius 8150, but it still wouldnt matter... 
Cable elevators
I use wood elevators, and due to the compostion of wood, meaning that is deadens electrical impulses, I find that is works very well..IMHO. 
Aurum Cantus ....anyone heard them?
They sure look like the Usher line of speakers...also made in Asia. 
Favorite integrated amp?
If you like the "British sound", and I do, go with the Exposure line, very, very nice stuff...for a warmer, less detailed amp, I just bought a Classic integrated made in China, that is marvelous... 
Epos ELS 3
I tend to shy away from anything that they rave about..made that mistake more than once. That is why, I am asking for the Goner's opinion. 
Epos ELS 3
Dawg, that is pretty much my thinking as well.. 
Best stand mounted monitors
I have a pair of Usher X807's ordered from Goldman audio, they should be here the end of next week. I have this gut feeling that they are going to ring my bell.. 
Roksan Kandy KC-1 OR Audio Refinement CD Complete
Fuzz, I cant answer your question, but let me know which one you will choose, I am in the same quandry.. 
Dynaudio Special 25 vs. Contour 1.3 SE
Having spent time with both, as the above poster's commented, you HAVE pull them out as least 5-6'... 
SACD 2 channel vs Redbook 2 Channel
Will a universal sacd player do redbooks better than a redbook player? Anyone know?
