Have speakers need new electronics
BAT has 300 wpc @ 4ohms. Is that enough? 
Have speakers need new electronics
Balanced Audio Technology VK-300SE. Can't go wrong. Plenty of power, great user interface, tube front-end and very easy to bi-amp when the time comes. 
Different types of cable for bi-wire
Harmonic Technology used to sell bi-cable (magic series) where one was called "woofer" and one was called "tweeter". Same construction materials but different gauges. Hope this helps.

Most impressive youtube demo clips
A lot can be learned from these demos: 1. Does it sound like music? 2. Is music distortion free? 3. Is there a lot of detail? You can't fake any of these parameters. You can also get a better "feel" with headphones (if used). These demos are a lot... 
Power Conditioner. From Richard Gray for Shunyata Hydra
Been using a Hydra 8 for 5 years or so. Think it is working fine, music coming out of my speakers sounds good. I’d like to try an IsoTek Aquarius to see if any difference. IsoTek supposed to reduce A/C noise to ZERO! Don’t know if Hydra is suppres... 
Mint 4B3 (2018 model) used price suggestions?
Earlier this year, I was fortunate to get a dealer-demo-clearance 4B3 for $2750. This is an unusually low price. A good price used is between $3500 and $4000 (IMO). 
Speaker Cable Advice
I'm hooked on OCC copper. Wireworld has released Generation "8" for its Eclipse series so many Gen-7s for sale used. I use Gen-7 Eclipse and have no complaints. 
Power conditioner -- when to replace?

Why not let established members put bogus posts into "limbo" (remove from forum pending moderator review). Limbos can be tagged with user-ID of member so pranksters can be disciplined. 
recommend hifi home setup service in oakland / east bay
I really admire your judgment. If there is one thing I detest it's installing a cartridge in a tonearm. Another thing I hate is a HiFi dealer that won't help you unless you bought from them. Usually, you walk into a HiFi store and they're just sta... 
What is the best pre-amp for ARC Ref 75SE amp?
I'll take a guess. Audio Research Ref 6.

Higher Efficiency Speakers
While I love my current (and I hope final) system, If I had it to do over, I would go with high efficiency speakers (100 db+). They give you so many options in amplification. I'd love to try the Pass Labs XA25, 300B amps, etc.. And they still let ...
