Best value speakers available
As far as new speakers,I would go with B&W's.But I am crazy about my 25+ year old voice of the theatrespeakers by altec lansing.Nothing I have had before themcould come close.And I have had some dandies.The only problem is the size.They are gi... 
Hear ye! Thou who knowist thy speakers..
You will probably think I am crazy,but I speak from experience.I would try to find a old pair of altec lansing voice of the theatre speakers with the 511b horns and 808-8a tweeters.I came across a pair and I am still in disbelief of how good these...

I would go with a Audio Reasearch tube amp.Any of the old SP series would be a good choice.And one can be had very resonable.

Recommended cables for NHT 2.9
I promise you you would NOT be able to tell the difference with the Tara Labs cable and the pure copper wire I recommended.I also speak from experience.I was given a pair of the world's best speaker wire from a 10,000 dollar audio research system ... 
Recommended cables for NHT 2.9
Here's what you need to do.Go to lowes hardware store and get some AR industrial pure cooper wire.It's dirt cheap and sounds good.I'm sorry but this cable and wire hysteria is a bunch of B.S. 89vett

Speakers: all-time worst
I agree with some of the above post's.The bose 901 is the worst sounding expensive speaker I have ever heard. 
What preamp to use?
For the money a mod squad is hard to beat.They have no noise at all and sound really clean.A good used audio research sp6,7,8 would also be a good choice.They are tube and sound excellant.I have a sp7 and I use it with my solid state amps.Very det...
