Speaker cable vibration?
I have padded nuts bigger bolts, felt, squirrel tail, anything you need to make your system sound better. Just let me know your budget. 
Can Vandy's get along with cats?
Just start posting negative opinions about Wilson's and the tread will be gone tonight. 
Anyone used VS-110 with KT120 for extended period?
Just be careful if you ever blow a resistor because ARC will also charge you for a new set of tubes. This has been my experience two times. A fifty cent part can easily turn into a few hundred.I won't buy ARC again. 
Adding a sub - what will I loose?
If you have a low efficiency speaker and listen at low volume you might lose some of the bottom end. You can always adjust the volume on the sub to compensate. I say go for it. IMO it's tough to find a speaker with a really good midrange and 20hz ... 
Recordings with BASS
High Kings. The have a Timpanist that plays on several tracks. Have to like the genre though. Also maybe Welcome to the Machine by Pink Floyd. That should rattle the your eardrums. 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range

Best small speakers?

Zu Druid MK IVs vs. Essences
The Zu Essence with Candy Gloss went for $3300. What an awesome deal for the buyer. 
"Best" speakers new/used under $3,000?
Again you might want to compare the mid and treble of the old Matrix 802 to the newer models. It depends on what you are looking for in a speaker.Best. 
"Best" speakers new/used under $3,000?
Most everyone recommends the speaker they own so you get the broken record on the site.Buy used and you can get some great deals, up to 60% off on some relatively new speakers in some cases. Be careful with older models of great speaker lines beca...
