Todd, the M700s are the best bang for your $1500 
Best improvement for the buck
I had the P5, it’s no match for the A21+. The P6 doesn’t seem like a huge improvement, though a bunch of minor improvements could be worthwhileWhatever preamp you chose, make sure it is True Balanced and connect the amp/pre with high quality XLR c... 
PS AUDIO Stellar M700 Mono Amplifier?
In my class D quest, I had the M700s, which I quite liked. It took ~ 300 hours to begin to come on song. I bought mine virtually new for $2K, but saw a pair recently for $1500, so why give up your current amp which you might be able to sell?I also... 
What is the best USED Speaker Under $10,000
As a 3+ year owner of Emerald Physics KCIIs (Open Baffle) where every change Ive made to the system or room was immediately revealed, their full line is amazing with some models, including the KCIIs, winning awards. NOW, they are moving the factor... 
I can prove your room is bad
So can unplugged subwoofers screw up the sound. Thanks to a fellow-phile on AA, who responded to my thread there where I stated that I was no longer using my 2 SVS subs (the tall ones), which are in the system picture that I provided. He said unpo... 
Big source improvement using CD player
Turn a 105 into a giant killerIt is common knowledge that the Oppo 105s Achilles Heel is the power supply (less recognized is the IEC and jumper for 120/220, as well). I found aftermarket PNP modules on Ebay as well as the EIC jumper. I bought an ...

What Power isolation transformer or conditioner similar to Topaz

Wanted: Lightweight Krell KSA-100 Clone????
~ 15 years ago I had a friend with a KSA 100. It was amazingI have owned a lot of amps SS and tube and started in the class D direction about 8 years ago. I had the PSAudio M700s which sounded quite good and can be bought used for ~ 2K, but I repl... 
stand-mount speakers for classical music
The LSAs sound intriguing, but I haven't heard them, but I did own Reference 3A MM deCapos which are very efficient and the large woofer is very helpful for a fuller sound 
Recommendations for floor standers that sound good at low levels too
Reference 3A  has some very good sounding options. I saw a pair of A Gallo Classico 4s on US Audio Mart for ~ $1200. Found them, Nice narrow front facehttps://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649622229-gallo-classico-cl-4-speakers-in-cherry/
