Bookshelf or stand mount help please

got it. My kids don't mind the amp, but I suspect they are so used to it, they can't imagine music without it.

We have the KEF LSX II's setup on the KEF wall mounts in my wife's office and for their size they sound great, have good imaging, and decent bass. I purchased them used for around $700. The other option we looked was the  PSB Alpha IQ, because we are somewhat invested in the BlueSound ecosystem.

The KEF LSX II's are very versatile and the KEF Connect app is decent. 

KEF LSX IIs or SVS Prime Wireless Pro. I am not a Klipsch fan. The are too forward and harsh to the point they hurt my ears. The REL is a great sub if you already own it, but if I were buying I would consider the SVS Micro 3000 or the KEF KC-92 to match whichever speakers i had. 

I owned a pair of Adam speakers a few years back which I enjoyed. Made in Germany with a ribbon tweeter.

I have a NAD C340 (70 wpc) and a pair of Triangle BOREA BR03 listed on FBMP in Katonah, NY. Great entry level system for <$500
