Most forgiving speakers?
Von Schweikert VR4GenIIISE 
Best Integrated for Audio Physic Virgo III?
Hello,You gotta check out the new Jolida 707A. For the money and the sound, I don't think anything can touch it (and I personally own the Hovland setups).Good luck,Tim 
I decided on Monitor Audio for my music, but
I have a pair of GR60 and am very happy with them.For my music setup, I have the VonSchweikert VR4GenIIISE.They're just two very different speakers.My best advice for you is to try and listem to them before making any decision.Good luck 
JPS ultraconductor vs. acoustic zen epoch, help
Go JPS, there's no competition here. The AZ sounded really thin in the mids when I aud. them.Good luck,Tim 
Arcam AV8, Krell Showcase or Aragon Stage One
I concur w/ Theaudiotweak. For A/V, Krell still rules.Tim 
Monitor Audio Speakers
I have the S8 before I upgraded to the GR60, and I have to say that for the money, nothing can come close to them.I had them matched with the Unison Unico and they sounded FABULOUS.They tend to be a little bright in the beginning, but please be pa... 
Coincident Total Eclipse vs. Von Schweikert VR 4
Funny Jbello.I owned both the Eclipse and the VR4genIIISE, and imho, the VR4 are much more precise, bass was tighter and deeper, and the mids, oooh the mids, to die for.Good luck,Tim

paradigm studio 100 VS. triangle celius
IMHO, and I owned both the Studio 100 and the Celius, You'd be better off looking somewhere else, ie. another brand.The Celius had this "lean" sound, and I like warm mid with warm vocals. The Celius can also sound bright if you use them with SS. I...

AMC makes cheap and decent tube pre.OTherwise, please look into Bel Canto.Good luck 
Mc Intosh Need The good bad and ugly?? Should i
I have the MC602 mated with an Hovland HP100 linestage, driving the B&W 803Nautilus, and the sound is awsome. Prior to this, I had the MC352 and the C2200 tube pre, and I was also very happy with the clarity, neutrality, and coolness of the am... 
which hybrid amp?
Tends to be on the warm side, soundwise, beautiful, lush mid and high, tight and low bass. What else can you get for this kind of money?You can look into a BAT VK300X, but then you have to spend a lot more money.Good luck,Tim
