    Help! Damage control after disappointing Stereo->HC jump

    Try to test out Q Accoustic 2050i or MA BX5 bi-amped by your SR5008 in Pure Direct mode and you might be surprised at how good it sounds. (when using it in bi-amp mode you will be using 2 amps per speaker)

    Slim floor standing speakers needed?

    Fairly slim, looks great and plays wonderfully, Sonus Faber Venere 2.5

    Pioneer LX57 vs Pioneer LX86 vs Arcam AVR 400 vs Anthem MRX 500

    Marantz sr7007 is definetly worth an audition too, it can be had at amazon uk for £729.00. If looking around it might even be available cheaper elsewhere.

    speakers and amp advice - £10-20k budget for rock and dance music

    Sonus Faber Venere 2.5 and 3.0 are beautiful speakers that also sound great. Accuphase E-560 (Class A) or alternatively E-460 looks and sounds great as-well as being built to last. Another nice "future prof" set-up would be Marantz Reference NA-11S1 Network Audio Player/DAC and Marantz...

    The following phones are abit bigger than Iphone 4s, but smaller than Samsung Galaxy 4S and could maybe be a good fit. HTC One Mini , Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini or Sony Xperia ZR

    Rega Brio-r + Usher S-520 sounds bright?!

    If possible try to audition these small usb dacs, one of them might do the trick for you: Audioquest DragonFly, HRT microStreamer and Meridian Explorer DAC

    Accuphase E-360 or E-260

    You might also give Marantz PM-11S3 a listen, its a gem of an amp with a great phono stage. (MM/MC) http://www.marantz.co.uk/uk/Products/Pages/ProductDetails.aspx?CatId=hifi&SubCatId=Amplifier&ProductId=PM11S3

    What to upgrade for warmth, separation and bass?

    If you prefer standmounts, then you should give these a listen: Sonus Faber Venere 1.5, Dynaudio Excite X12, Spendor SA1 and ProAc Response D2. These speakers sound quite differently from eachother but should all give a more "balanced" (nautral to warm) sound than your current GS10

    Kef R900 with 80 watt Class A amp, am I doing it right?

    Since you like DM 2/7, why not also try to audition some of the Dynaudio floorstandres in the Exite and Focus ranges?

    Follow up: Is 30w class A Accuphase amp enough for ATC SCM 19?

    You earlier mentioned that you wanted to test out a pair of Dynaudio C1, you should give that a go since it might actually give you a better result than changing amp.

    Upgrade Qed Original to Van Damme UP-LC-OFC (wanna try van damme)

    If Audioquest is reasonably priced in Denmark, you might give Audioquest Type 4 a try.
