Let go of the music
Haha, True- I’m a big proponent of clean power, if it matters in the system. Imo it matters less in a more resonant speaker design. 
Leben CS600 questions?
@senior54 what are you using for cables?  Mine has lots of treble. 
How to select a good Speaker Cable
I've tried several in that size and find variation in sound. One thing I have noticed which makes sense with your analysis, is larger cables tend to add brightness with low df amps. Is that a function of impedance? My ears agree with your formula ...

b4icu, not sure if damping factor Leben CS600. 6 foot length. Much appreciated will post results. 
Basic 12g copper speaker cables to $$$ cables.
I’ve been all the over the spectrum with cables, including a $14,000 loom of Nordost Frey 2 with the QX4 and QB8 etc. In my opinion cables are the last 10 percent that can really increase your connection to the music. They don’t need to cost as mu... 
Right speakers for big room limited to small room placement options
To get a visual, the fireplace is in the center of the wall and the speakers flank the fireplace. So speakers will be approx 10 feet from side walls correct? Would a front ported speaker fire better bass and imaging with the lack of corner/side wa... 
subwoofer advice
you need something like this to connect the amp to the sub via the speaker terminals.  Some subs have these build in. some do not. https://www.crutchfield.com/S-LrFPSJ7FonT/p_543ADP12/Russound-ADP-1-2-Speaker-level-to-Line-level-Ad...I don't think... 
Can you create alerts for used gear you are interested in on Audiogon?
US Audiomart beats the pants off of Audiogon because it doesn’t bend the seller over with charges. I have a set of speakers listed on each. I’ve seen more activity through Audiomart.Check every 5 minutes.

Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
I do yoga in my room with the O/93's, and so I listen at all positions. I find them pretty engaging 3 feet into the room and 5-6 feet away.  This distance probably removes some of the room reflections from the equation.  They do like to be pulled ... 
Happy Thanksgiving to All
Happy Thankgiving to all, with special attention to our military and front line men and women that keep us safe and healthy! Their courage and comittment to serving us all will be particulary noticed at our table today.  
The NAD M33 will cancel your complaints about Class D
The best experience I’ve had with class D was with a low powered unit by SPEC.  I’m curious if Atmosphere is familiar with their amps.  In the end I found I was listening less, so it got the axe.  I’ll be skeptical of class D after that sham of a ... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
Ozzy how long did you keep them? I picked up a European class d amp with room correction a few years ago based on forum feedback. People were replacing tube systems, and it was all the rage. What a piece of junk. I kept it for 2 weeks and couldn't... 
Cables for Leben/Devore- Nordost?
David, I took a closer look and found a great review and some positive threads on the Fidelium.  How long have you had these in your system?  Did you notice the soundstage layering to be better?  The Nordost were capable of great natural transient... 
New silversmith fidelium cable
Is everyone continuing to enjoy these cables?  I know that sometimes components that offer a new way of looking at things can sometimes run there course long term.  I read the Soundadvocate review and they seem intriguing. Thanks!
