Accuphase Power Amps
I'd also add 'room size/volume' as being another determining factor. 
Sadly missed manufacturers
Just did a quick google and you are right..http://www.lenwallisaudio.com/blog/new-systems/the-welcome-return-of-duntech-loudspeakers/Len Wallis Sydney is where I actually bought my Duntech circa '80s.After J. Dunlavy returned back to US I thought ... 
Sadly missed manufacturers
Few mentioned Dunlavy but no Duntech - I'd add it under speakers.Also, Celestion and Ensemble which were quite popular in the '80-'90s. 
Where would you put better power cable?
I reaped significantly better result using best pc to transport on my transport/dac combo when playing with same cable brand~three levels apart. But that doesn't mean a thing, as pointed out, each system and preference are unique into its own, you... 
Fake RRP on cables. A Joke
RRP = Recommended Retail Price.Interesting topic..Guess some vendors needed to make statement with their products (usually new). And pricing seems the easiest tool into grabbing attention in order to be acknowledged (reckoned with at least) on sam... 
Any bad experience with wilson audio sasha w/p?
AFAIK Sasha 2 has just been only recently released? 
Bolero:why can't my system reproduce snare well?
Seems to be a simple cabling synergy/mis-match issue to me..Change a component within a system, more so the speakers - you'll most likely have to re-finetune to get things to perfect again. Some cables tending toward the rich full side usually do ... 
Fake Audioquest sky cables
I noticed length inconsistency of umbilical cords to DBS modules (from various pics on webs), workmanship too wasn't of best quality/standard, also the 'Made in China' instead of USA or Colorado? printed on box which left me quite a bit jittery in... 
Fake Audioquest sky cables
It has been my experience - bought an AQ Diamond RJ/E digital cable from Hi-Def Lifestyle, since first time buying on-line and quality of cable and packaging weren't all that convincing, for reassurance thought I'd just recheck to be sure.Sent a c... 
SACD Player Won't Play Hybrid SACDs
Jjpeepers, good to know.. However if you plan on keeping the player for long, it is advisable to keep another sealed optic assy. as spare - it is getting scarcer by day. Depending on humidity, the problem could be an unpredictably recurring one. W... 
SACD Player Won't Play Hybrid SACDs
Sounds like weakening laser/read - lifetime is about 2-3years. Change the optical assembly and you should be fine. Can be had from e-Bay for around $30-60 depending on models.My old dCS was fitted with Sony's SCD555ES equivalent, and I had to chan... 
Best amplifier for CLX
"So have you heard accuphase or Soulution with CLX ?"Yes, my Soulution710, AccuphaseA200 and FMA 611 were lugged to friend's place to do testings with his CLXs. He personally own FMA 115, and have tested Soulution700 and Technical Brain amongst ot... 
Best amplifier for CLX
George,I don't think his C3800 would have caused any glare.. It is a top-notch pre.On the contrary, it should provide some of the nice needed 'cushioning' as opposed to CDP/DAC going direct. I'd check into AC quality and cabling perhaps--powercord... 
Best amplifier for CLX
Similar to my findings of old CLS as well as friend's CLX, although providing utmost transparency, they could sound a tad lean-ish from lower midrange on down. Hence my recommendations above are for amps be it SS or tube which give that extra weig...

Also for your room size, you probably do need a pair of Descent subs to aid pressurize room and give proper foundations to most music. This will also help in making the sound fuller, as well denser.
