Blown away with 2 speakers hifi sound!
Driving naked is normal in Santa Monica. 
Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is

Linkwitz Lab Loundpeaker baffle
Silly boy. The midrange drivers in the Orions--where it matters--is mounted to a rear support and held in place by the speaker's magnet. The driver doesn't touch the front baffle. 
Is it safe to buy from Audiogon sellers?
I've bought and sold on Audiogon, but not ebay or elsewhere. I've offered fair prices when selling and received good quality gear at fair prices when buying. I bought from dealer/resellers twice, and I was treated fairly once. I like Audiogon, and... 
Interconnects and Speaker Cable, What in your history hit your pleasure button?
LFD ribbon speaker cables are obviously better with LFD IntAmps than  any other speaker cables I've tried. Likewise, LFD ribbons with Pass Amps. Not theory;reality. Other than that, I know nothing. So for your stuff, I'm happy if you're happy.

What are important features in a listening chair
I've got a shock-absorbing high-speed chair from a SEAL attack boat with a 15" Eminence driver attached under the seat. Bass you can truly feel, but hard on the prostate. 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
Klipsch Heresy--good fun for rock and blues. But for your specific complaints, best to avoid horn tweeters.Try ribbon tweeters, like Legacy, Raidho, Quad Z3/Z4. 
Good starter amp recommendation
I concur with bigwave1. I have a Nuforce STA200 amp I'm using as a "transition" amp to try out some other components and speakers. The Nuforce is all about swiss precision--accuracy and dynamics before warmth or tone, and so, very useful for my pu...
