Appreciate it Clio09, I'll do some research on these. 
Power consumption
Try searching under "watts up power meter." If this is what you are looking for many local libraries own one or two for checkout. 
devore fidelity gibbon nines ,need good amplificat
Check out the Mastersound integrated amps too. I've heard a few with the Nines and they are worth a look. 
liquid sound
I was flipping between a tube and digital amp a while back. I visualized this in textural terms like the difference between running your hands over grass compared to polished glass. The harmonics get thrown at you a little differently. I couldn't ... 
If I like sound of Ayre Integrated I would Like...
I had an AX7e. It's a great amp. I had it side by side with several McIntosh integrateds and found it to be cleaner and more accurate in the soundstage without sounding at all analytical. I went to a ARC VSi-55 and was happy with my choice. Tubes ... 
Tube Options with Verity Tamino
Thanks for all the replies! I appreciate them.I'm still considering the VAC integrated amps. The super would be nice but I may have to go with the Avatar for budget reasons.I think the Tamino's do well with upwards of 50 watts. The VSi-55 was all ... 
Integra?
I think no one knows. You might just have to find a dealer that carries both and listen to find your preference. 
Feets under my speaker stands?
Just spike them into the wood floor. It's not like you're taking an axe to the siding of your house! If that doesn't work for you try searching disks and/or spikes and see what comes up. 
Best amp under $6k, in your opinion?
I'm still trying to find a decent integrated from the last thread. This one will most likely find the most comfortable international first class airline seat. 
How different between B&W 804s & B&W 805s????
About six months ago I heard three S series side by side with a nice McIntosh setup. They were the 805, 804 and 803. It was at a dealer and the room was not good but remember being really impressed with the 805 and 803. Both of these blew me away.... 
The focus and air lie
Walk outside your house at 3am and listen to the birds chirping. One is three feet away and the other is thirty feet away. Ten more are in between. How do you tell they are separated? What is between them? How many terms does it take?

The La Scala seems like a great speaker. I've owned the Devore Super 8's and have heard the nines. Does the WLM La Scala or Diva have more weight, body? Does it have the crazy image and depth of the Devores? Anyone done a listening comparison betw... 
Opinions of people who have OWNED Adagio's
It's testes, or both testis, not testies, unless you are are living too close to a nuclear power plant or referring to a multiple product testers in the wrong tense. I hope you wouldn't get those caught between your legs, although I can think of s... 
turning my system on during lightning storms
I assume everything needs to be unplugged? Let's say that you unplug everything except the tuner. Will lighting find its way through the interconnects and fry everything else? 
I need some speaker help
What does "Spend the money" mean?
