Merrill VERITAS monoblock amplifiers
Ptheo, please post your thoughts on Merrill's interconnects and speaker cable after you get a chance to try them. 
Speakers that can be placed close to the back wall
Vapor1 A question: Do any of your speakers use the EXtended Bass Shelf? I thought that technique only used front ported designs? Could you explain more in detail? Thanks! 
Speaker recommendations, budget $10-15K
What no Magico S1 or Vivid B1 on the list??? They may be worth a listen. 
Diamond drivers
Phusis, I understand about dull speakers, which speakers do you think are NOT dull? 
Preamps with balanced ins/outs and remote
Thanks for all the input. Question! How can you determine if a preamp is truly balanced rather than just balanced connectors?

Jfrech also looking for a single box as I need to downsize. I currently have a Supratek Cabernet Dual which is a two box preamp and power supply.

Wanted Preamp

Evolution Acoustics MMMicroOne
Hifimaniac, not to take away from the thread as I too think the Micro's are fantastic, but you mentioned a integrated amp/DAC by Playback Designs. Do you happen to know the model number? 
Hypex Ncore NC400
Hifial, are you using a preamp with the Veritas? 
What is the single best pre amp you have ever hear
Supratek Cabernet Dual 
Class D amps?
Thanks to all for your input but one more question. One of the biggest complaints of Class D amps was that they are too sterile and just not musical is that still true with the ncores? 
Class D amps?
Hifial, my only concern is that it puts out like 700 watts into 4 ohms. I have 93db speakers. 
KR Audio Integrated amps
Prcinka, I'm looking at the Kr Audio VA340 MKII or the VA 350MKII 
Best Integrated, period.
Gopher, which 211 tubes do you like?
