Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
I have the Luxman 590 - love it! I didn't want to mess with tubes and class A brings me a nice warm/rich sound. Now if I can only find a woman like that.....

OP here - lots of good advice - both on audio and on divorce..... I cannot believe this question got such a huge response! Seems I hit a nerve.    
Getting a Divorce and can now buy floor standing speakers
@jetter    Great idea! Thanks to everyone who responded. I will try placement first, as they were not set up that well. Adding another sub is also great as even if I do buy new speakers, the subs won't go to waste. Not sure why folks think I wa...

@decooney  Damn, those are some big speakers! I might not get married again, but I'd like to at least have a few dates that last longer than one.

DAC Comparison - Aurender A200 vs McIntosh C2600
I have an N200 and didn’t go with any built in DACs in any of my hardware (I use a PS Audio DAC), the reason I don’t use a built in DAC is that they are still improving them and this way I can swamp out the DAC without having to replace any other ...

Only my opinion, but unless you are going to start collecting or take the chance of not liking the Dual, I’d skip Dual.  
Synergistic Purple Fuse - Aftet 1 Year of Use
Yes, thanks for the real life review. I’m been debating switching.   
Full loom of the same cable brand vs mixing and matching.
I asked the same question a while back as my dealer was insisting that my mix of cables would not sound as good as his very expensive loom of cables. The consensus I received was the quality was the same is important and that the same manufacturer... 
Need help with phono cartridge selection
The Denon in my opinion. Although that table was made back then for cartridges like Shure, Stanton and Audio Technica, so the AT models should be good also. I always thought the AT carts were a bit tilted brighter - if you like that or your speake... 
Worst Speakers Ever??
I sold crappy speakers back in the 1970's on the east coast near NYC. I can't remember all the brands, but the BSR speakers come to mind, and then BOSE came out with a low end line (not to say that their main line 301, 501, 601, 901's sounded any ...
