What's my next upgrade? Please advise.
Can you regulate the output voltage on that piece? You might take a reading and make sure your voltage is not too high leaving the unit. 
Does anybody know where I can find a female wall socket ....
I would think that a 20 amp industrial grade duplex recptacle from home depot would except a stranded #8 wire. You might have to put half the strands on one side of the screw the other half on the other side. If you look at the receptacle you will... 
Best Speaker under 31 inches tall
Tony, You will figure it out. It seems obvious you need some sort of center speaker turned on it's side to sit in that space. I always recommend going with the same brand speakers all the way around the room. If this is not possible at least try t... 
Audio Cost Allocations
CFB I think it was suppose to total out at 100%. Would you please re-think your system and try again:~) 
What's my next upgrade? Please advise.
Your system looks really cool! But I can't imagine those being your best choice on the speaker cables and interconnects. I'd be looking for some reference series stuff at this stage of the game. However If I made a suggestion the local canibals wo... 
Best Speaker under 31 inches tall
Shame on you Sean! Everyone at this web-site knows "BOSE" is a four letter word. Even people that don't frequent this web-site know "BOSE" is a four letter word. As a matter of fact, I pity anyone who thinks "BOSE" is anything more or less than a ... 
Thiel 1.5 vs. 2.3
I owned the 1.5's for about a year. I really liked them in a small room with an integrated 100-watt amp and some decent MIT cabling. After I sold the 1.5's I picked up a demo pair of 3.6ers. These babies rocked the house, but 100 watts just didn't... 
Any opinions on Classe Preamps?
I run a CP-50 with a CA-301 nice combo. I paid about 1K for the pre. You can find the CP-60 for around $1500.00 Good luck 
RCA End Caps
If you do a search for *SHORT OUT PLUGS* You will find a thread I started awhile back that will teach you how to make your own using parts from Radio Shack. I must have made 30 or so for about a buck a piece. Better check your manuals before you s... 
My girlfriend is pissed
Try listening to music while rolling around. As long as she's not a screamer you should be fine. 
Moral Dilemma
Now that is what I call a kodak moment. Thanks for the happy image. That makes my day :~) 
Does anyone know of anyone/place that can reterminate cables
That's $1600 well spent if your happy in the end:~) 
Which Classe Amps?
I count seven speakers in your system. Plus a sub I'm assuming? It just so happens I run Classe with Thiel in my H/T system, and I own a CA301 that I use to drive a pair of Thiel 3.6 speakers in my bedroom, those speakers are rated 400 watts @ 4 O... 
Opinions on MIT MH 770 bi-wire??
I use the 770 twin in my stereo system. To get the full benefit of the speaker wire you will need to incorporate matching interconnects. I also noticed a difference when I added the MIT AES/EBU reference digital cable between transport and DAC. Go... 
Is 60 amp electrical service enough for high end tube system
Keep in mind there is a reason your house was originally equipped with a 60-amp service. First off that is 60 amps @ 220volts, which means you have 120 amps at 120 volts. All you may need to run your system is 1 20 amp dedicated circuit of which y...
