Best Integrated for $3k or below? Krell KAV-400i vs. Musical Fidelity A5
Any owners/users of either of the two listed integrated amps have any thoughts on their sound/musicality? Each generates what appears to be relatively high current power at 200+ watts/ch. Krell reviews very well in Stereophile and elsewhere. Musical Fidelity A5 appears to be an interesting candidate as well. I am still choosing speakers, but leaning towards Joseph Audio RM22si Mk.2's (see similar post in loudspeaker forum), which are spec'd at 8 ohm nominal (6 ohm min) w/ sensitivity of ~88db. I have a smallish room of approximately 12'6 x 11'6 x 9'.

Any current (or previous) Joseph Audio RM22 owners out there?
I'm considering a pair of JA RM22si Mk.2's for a 2ch stereo system in a room that is approximately 12'6"l x 11'5"w x 9'h. I listen to predominantly jazz, small ensemble/chamber music, female vocal and acoustic pop/rock. As a result, I would happily trade off slightly rolled-off low end for transparency, neutrality and soundstage/imaging capabilities, particularly in the mids and treble frequencies. Based on reviews (professional and consumer both), the JA RM 22's seem to possess the characteristics I'm looking for.

Manufacturer's setup of review samples
I've yet to see this pet peeve of mine addressed in this RnR section - you're reading an equipment review in one the high end audio magazines and the reviewer is recounting about how the team from the factory worked so hard to get the equipment setup just right in his listening room. Wow, that's great! But then there is no mention of whether this outstanding treatment is extented to all customers or just those whose opinions will be published in a major audio magazine.

Question about Musical Fidelity X-10 v3 MU-VISTA Tube Buffer
Forgive me if this is not the right forum for this question, but it didn't seem to fit into any other. I just purchased a X-10 v3 MU-VISTA TUBE BUFFER based on quite a number of good reviews (They said it was stereophile "A" rated but I could not find the acutal review). I was wondering if anyone here has hear it or has any experence with it. i.e. Sound impressions, things to watch out for, tweaks, etc. Thanks!
