It would be fun to have those Yamaha speakers, and it looks like you refurbished them? I have a speaker of approximately the same size but different driver configuration coming to me in hopefully 1 month. 

Those stands look nifty; what are they? I will need something similar when the new speakers arrive.

TEAC VRDS-701 is a nice unit full of tricks and special performances when set up well. I wrote a review of that component for Dagogo.com, then bought the review unit mainly for CD playback. However, when it is set up well, especially with my special wiring tricks, it is very capable. 

Wells Audio, another very nice component maker. Again, I reviewed a couple of Wells Audio components for Dagogo.com and owned a pair of Akasha, then Innamorata. Super sweet sound quality, very nice! 

Cables? What are you doing for cables? With gear like that you owe it to yourself to work with a set of quality cables. And I do mean set, not ad hoc cables.
