Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB
I recommend you move the baby into the audio room and acclimate the kid to your hobby now. I learned to fall asleep to a bunch of dudes wailing on guitars in the next room...and look where it got me...posting bad advice on Audiogon. :-)Congratulat... 
TX audio stores in Austin or San Antonio?
I've been to Galen's house/showroom. You do need an appointment.  
Stealth Audio Cables question
+1 ugamotz I wholly endorse Anthony at Perrotta Consulting.  
Speaker Sensitivity AND Power Requirements
+1 stevecham FWIW I have found that the more power and reserve you provide your speakers the better they perform (without blowing them out of course). There are exceptions to this rule, but in your case I doubt the exceptions apply. If it was me I...

Please...dont flame me (Bose 901-Series I help)
Circa 1977 I owned a pair of Bose 901s. Then I powered them with a Yahama receiver with fairly low watts. Sounded good to me then; although I didn't have much experience listening to anything else. There is a Yamaha CR600 for sale on ebay for a li... 
Store auditioning and then buying on-line from others. How do you feel about it ?
I consider it wrong to use a local dealer to audition audio equipment with no intention of buying it from that store. It is selfish and exudes the bad neighbor syndrome of believing others in life are present for your personal entertainment/educat... 
Does anybody own a Jeff Rowland Daemon Integrated Amp.?
@serious7. As I have posted in another thread here on Agon, I heard the JR Daemon at Axpona 2017. To me it powered the best sounding room that I visited. And I was not alone in that assessment. I advise you to listen to the Daemon if possible. 
Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords
@garebear Gary, you might already know but I just heard from a dealer today that Cardas will not be putting the Clear Beyond XL on the market until January. 
JEFF ROWLAND AERIS WITH PSU AND AURENDER W20 OR ESOTERIC N-01
@laurier I have your components--JR M925s, Corus+PSU and I have the Aeris. I will second Richard's comment above, Because you already have the PSU, getting the Aeris will not be a mistake. The synergy is significant. I have read the article you me... 
Cardas Clear Beyond Power cords
@garebear Hey Gary, hope you are doing well. After reading your post I reached out to Brian too and he emailed saying they are shooting for a December release date if it all goes according to plan. I'm probably waiting to buy two PCs for mono bloc... 
Power Cords
@ricred1 I will take you up on the offer to visit. On the Antipodes DX 2 front, I ran into a dealer customer service issue, but the Antipodes National Sales Manager came to the rescue. I'm very impressed with Antipodes corporate customer service. ... 
Power Cords
Richard: You might ask Galen if he has a Cardas Clear Beyond cable to loan you for your Rowland amp. I'm interested in knowing how you would compare them to what you hear with the Sigmas. I f Galen doesn't, I'm headed to SA the first part of Decem... 
What do you consider the most musical speakers—$15000 & under
@zq1 I encourage you to listen to Joseph Audio Perspective speakers. Retail price is $13K. I own them. Great sound, great looks, nice size and I think they are a high value proposition. They match the definition of what you are seeking. But make s... 
No-one talks about Rowlands anymore
I heard the Daemon at AXPONA in April of this year powering Joseph Audio Perspectives. It was hard to get a seat in that room. Many folks stated that the Rowland/Joseph/Cardas room was the best sound of the show. I thought it was...I went out and ...
