I don't have sibilance problems, are my speakers dull?
I think it comes down to overly bright speakers, probably the less expensive speakers, probably the ones you guys don’t use.  I had some Energy Veritas that were horribly sibilant, same with a bunch of paradigms.  Pair them with bright cables and ... 
What Integrated Amp do You use
Man, you guys have some nice integrateds 😀I have a Kinki Studio EX-M1 and previously had a Belles Aria Integrated.  Both are fantastic!

Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what?
Uhh, class d isn’t going to take over.  Have a good day! 
Sub placement
Thats a coincidence!  I have a really a bad bass null right where my listening position is.  Couldn't fix it for the life of me.  Tried putting my single sub 3 feet directly behind my listening seat and voila!  Sounds great.  I then started playin... 
Speaker magnets
Check out the magnets on ATC speakers.  The you tube video of the factory is informative as well.Magnet material plays a role as well.

Hi Milpai 😁👋 
Mating sub(s) with Maggie 1.7i
 Check out the open baffle subs from gr research.  They use rythmik servo plate amps.   A sub on each side would be sweet, so 4 drivers total.I have been listening to LRS’s with a velodyne hgs-10 sub placed behind me.  Sublime listening experience... 
Before I order the Magnepan 1.7s...
Salk offers a ton of finishes and outstanding speakers.I’ve got a pair and a pair of Maggies.The Maggies have a unique sound and are only good for 1 person / listener. They have a very small sweet spot, but that spot is pretty sweet. Piano, string... 
FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's
To add, when I went to fed ex to start my claim, they informed me that the boxes need to be able to withstand 150 pounds.  I guess this is due to stacking boxes but can you imagine someone 150 pounds standing on your $3,000 amp? 
FEX EX Damaged New Legacy's
Yep, fed ex smashed my Kinki Studios ex-m1 pretty good a month ago.I was leery because I’ve had prior issues with fred ex.  They smashed an Anthem I225 pretty good as well as picking up a pair of $3500 speakers, then saying the never picked them u... 
Maggies with a subwoofer system - optimization?
Base is to bass what expresso is to espresso! 
Why does a dent to a tweeter not affect sound quality?
I usually push them in on day 1 so I don’t have to worry about it later. I have to suck out the inverted domes on focals with a vacuum. 
Magnepan, Best midrange?
To add, Danny at GR research offers a wiring, crossover and binding post upgrade for $300.  I may pursue this! 
Magnepan, Best midrange?
I picked up a pair 3 days ago for $425 off craigs.  I love them.  They are awesome.  No bass really and I’m guessing you need a well sorted front end and the room to support them.  They have the most ridiculously small sweet spot.  Once you incorp...
