Atma-sphere Updates
@ferrox,Great Post!Everytime I have issues with my system, the problem is usually from another component, and not Atmasphere.Bob 
Do both cables have to be the same length?
Same length.Plus, it helps with resale.B 
Audioquest or Kimber kable.
@OP, you are looking at older models of AQ. Though I can't tell what your budget is, I would recommend looking at more recent models.A set of Rocket 88's used aren't very expensive and would, IMHO, offer better resolution.FWIW, I use GO-4's.Bob

After clicking on that link, I feel my previous post to be even more relevant.B 
2 amplifiers connected to 1 set of speakers
Well, there is biamping.Either Vertical or Horizontal, but you would be sending a signal from each amplifier to a different set of speaker terminations-for speakers wired for such.B 
Simple question, or is it...
@OP, I would wait for Almarg or Atmasphere to respond.B 
Vandersteen power cable upgrad
Zzzzz, again.B 
Subwoofers - Front Firing or Down Firing - Which Sounds Best?
@dweller .I would suggest the new Vandy 3 subs. Though not inexpensive, it should give you the ability to get those 20-ish frequencies, as well as integrating seamlessly with your speakers with the integrated equalizer. Though, you do need to buy ... 
Balanced Interconnect Recommendations
