Fuses
Try an upgraded/audiophile fuse.Most come with a money-back guarantee.Go into it with an open mind.Grab a beer, have a seat and enjoy your stay on the dark side. 
Sibilance
+1.That album has been remastered so many times it's almost impossible to know what version you are getting....That being said, I just listened to "Time" on CD and via streaming (Amazon), and neither version I heard had any sibilance in it.I'd say... 
LED dimmable lights in audio room?
OK.Thanks. Sounds like it won't be an issue, and if it is, I'll figure something out, or just put them on a regular lightswitch. 
Something For The Fuse Guys ...
Proud fuser here.Can't wait for the new purple ones to hit..... 
LED dimmable lights in audio room?
Good stuff, guys....thanks! 
LED dimmable lights in audio room?
Mine too, @oregonpapa .Didn't know if the new LED dimmable lights (and dimmers) still had that problem or not. :(They'd be on a separate circuit. I don't know any audiophile electricians, unfortunately.Hopefully someone has done this and has some ... 
Sub woofera and Pet torture
This thread can't be for real......can it?

That's a pretty big ask from a private seller.I agree with @jackd , if you think you want them and the price is right, buy them and give them a shot.You might love them.But if you don't like them, put them back up for sale. 
price of WireWord ECLIPSE III DISCRETE BIWIRE

How important is the pre-amp?
I'd say the impact of the pre-amp is "Huge" in your system.Probably second only to your speakers. 
Thoughts/Experiences on Luxman Sound
@jsqt, I wish I knew how to quote that. Good stuff.Yeah, it's 30 years old. FINALLY, something I know what I'm talking about.Some of that old gear is plenty, PLENTY "good enough".;)Happy Listening! 
You own a store, you sell 2 brands, which?
Sony electronicsProbably Magnepan or Tannoy speakersI'd really like to carry some other stuff, though... 
Thoughts/Experiences on Luxman Sound
I would say the Luxman sound is probably most comparable to some of the older Yamaha amps (out of the amps you have listed, and the ones I have experience with on your list....)And that’s not a bad thing at all."Warm-ish/slightly laid back, smooth...
