THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ
Time domain is much more complex than just the QTS of the speaker.  QTS is related to the magnetic intensity of the magnetic assembly of a speaker but also related to the mechanical Q. The lower the magnetic field is the higher the QTS of a speake... 
Magnepan, How Low Can You Go...power-wise
It's a kind of miracle that Magnepan have a sensitivity of about 86 db at 4 ohms because their magnetic system is somewhat weak for at least three reasons. First they use flexible magnets instead of ceramic strontium magnets to alnico or neodymium... 
Doesnt resistance mean same as impedance??
The resistance is related to a DC circuit.  The impedance is related to an AC circuit.When we talk about impedance we should consider capacitive and inductive elements in the circuit.  Measuring the impedance of a speaker driver will show a differ... 
Primaluna?
I have a PrimaLuna Prologue Premium integrated since 2018. No tubes changed.I have the original Chinese tubes but I bought Golden Lion KT 77 and 12au7. Yes the sound is different, a bit more transparent but this integrated is sensible to power cor... 
HOW CRITICAL ARE JUMPER CABLES
My experience about jumpers is with Monitor Audio silver 6 and Magneplanar LRS.In both cases, the results were obvious. Much better clarity in the mid to high treble regions, more air, better attack and decays, less grain in the sound, I made a pa... 
Products you added to your system in 2021 that made most impact to your music enjoyment
Simply a SMSL AO-200 integrated amplifier driving a pair of Magneplanar LRS and the result is stunning and unexpected. 80% as good as my Primaluna Prologue Premium integrated at 10% the price.  
Changing Magneplanar LRS jumpers for Neotech 12 AWG
The jumpers I made are about 3,5 inches long and U shaped with 2 BAF Mundorf banana plugs soldered with eutectic Cardas solder.I did the same using Duelund DCA 12 wire the one with cotton impregnated with oil. I didn't try it yet. 
Changing Magneplanar LRS jumpers for Neotech 12 AWG
You are absolutely right and I totally agree, I wanted to highlight the fact that a simple short piece of metal of lower quality replaced by a high quality wire makes a huge difference, so changing the binding posts and bypassing the fuse block sh...
