    I would stick with efficient, 8ohm speakers with the Peachtree. I have a Nova and it's amp section is the unit's only downfall.

    As for a speaker suggestion, check out Tannoy dual concentrics. They're generally efficient and are easy to drive.

    Utilizing the dual concentrics, I've found the 'Precision' series speakers from Tannoy.

    Any online-reputable dealers you'd suggest?

    I've always purchased used or from a local guy who doesn't offer online sales.

    I would also consider the Revolution or Definition series.

    Looks like the DC4's will do, too bad they don't come in a 6" version...just 4 and 8 and I prefer to go with something smaller.

    I've seen a few PSB's come up on the 'gon, how do they compare against the rainmakers?
    Paul Barton is from the NRC 'accuracy' school of speaker design so his models usually have excellent measured response and tend toward the neutral side in SQ.Totem seems to design a bit more by ear than relying strictly on meaurements .Their models may not be as impressive on the test bench and have more 'flavour' than the PSB's but are voiced to sound very musical.
    The Totem's are 4 ohm so if your amp isn't up to the task they might not be suited.

    There is a 6" Revolution Signature. The 4"'s I would only recommend for nearfield.

    Yeah, I saw those but figured they may be a bit out of my price range.

    I'm not in much of a rush to get a pair of speakers, just a little anxious. I do miss the sound of quality audio and want to put the Decco to the test. That and I'm not too much of a headphone guy so I don't want to use my cans forever :p

    The usher s-520 are a decent bookshelf for the price.
