The Emotiva Challenge
I had a Manley Stingray and replaced it with a W4S ST-500 and a modded Mapletree Line 2A. The Stingray couldn't drive my mains, so I had to switch to a SS amp. If you want the best of both worlds, the sound of tubes with the control and dynamics o... 
Emotiva vs. some bigger boys
So how many times has your Odyssey amp been shipped back to Klaus? 
Emotiva vs. some bigger boys

New V-CAP CuTF capacitor
.47uf should be available soon and 1uf will be available eventually. Any impressions so far? 
pre amps with HT bypass
Why not a Wyred integrated, they have HT Bypass. 
Getting weak bass from Tannoy D700 speakers
The older Tannoys have loose, lumpy bass in comparison. But given your description, it sounds as something still may be amiss. Are you sure everything is wired correctly? Have you experimented with placement? How old is your amp, maybe it's in nee... 
Class D amp wyred4sound and B&W 803D
I'd like to know how could a speaker be very forgiving, but also revealing? 
CD and SACD player under $500
Used Marantz SA-8001 or SA-8003 should be just under your limit.
