Vendors Who Post
Vendors, at least some have been quite helpful with information and insight. Because of their contributions to various threads it may serve as one you may wish to conduct business with down the road. They I feel should let you know they are vendor... 
Subwoofer hitting floor...solution?
Might consider turning down the gain into the sub just a little. May lead to a more accurate presentation of movies and music while not harming the subwoofer speaker. Alas, the hockey pucks sound like a great idea while you save for a new sub. 
Significant difference??
Just my half cent as I have not any experience with any Denon gear. But my recently acquired Marantz PM8004 integrated amp would have me leaning towards the Marantz anything. Sound combined with a 3 year warranty deserves a very look.If possible r... 
New but old fashioned looking speakers…
Speakers from Quest for Sound, their SQ series speakers. And like Klipsch speakers should be very efficient. Plus would be tube friendly as well. Good hunting. 
Selling on Agon question
If accepting checks, wait for it to clear both banks. Insist on insurance and tracking number. 
Super fm tuners
Glad I got one when they were under the radar. Some I have seem on the net have been as much as three times the original price. And still worth it in respects to some other tuners. Unbelievably good. Sony should have improved the unit, not discont... 
Anyone Using Bose 901 speakers In A Home Theater?
901'S May indeed do very well for home theater. In a multi channel set up you may find that they spread the audio around so well too the point of offering a confused sound for audio intended for the back or side channels only. Might just be too mu... 
any success with "Vinyl flat" and warped records
Not familiar with the method you are using. Way back in the day I had very mild success sandwiching a record between two heavy plates of glass. Then setting it outside in the sunshine. As I can no longer find the plates of glass I used, I suspect ...

McIntosh MA-6900 Integrated Amp - Your Thoughts?
Came back for a visit My take on speaker cable is twelve gage makes a sonic difference over thinner gage. I have yet to experience and hear sonic improvements in special windings and casings. At least not to the degree of the expense associated wi... 
Suggestions on a neutral and powerful integrated..
Oh the fun of the hunt. McIntosh MA 6600 may be a nice match. 
Mcintosh integrated Vs amp
Should you decide to save up some more, you won't be sorry. Part of the fun of having a system is having what you actually want and not just what you could settle for. Good hunting. 
Mcintosh integrated Vs amp
The McIntosh and the Cary are dream machines to say the least. I have a McIntosh MA 6600 integrated and have always wanted a Cary SLI-80. Happen to have the Technics SL 1600.But if funds are indeed an issue, start out well but less expensive. The ... 
The Best Compliment You've Gotten On Your Rig?
Many years ago my sister commented on the improvement brought about by using Monster speaker cable. Decades later my wife shouted after hearing the price of my dream component. I now endeavor to bring gear in only when she is not home. Most if the... 
Personal amp evolution
My first love some thirty years ago, a Pioneer SX-525 receiver, held in my lap all the ninety mile way home. A Yamaha CR 1040 receiver. NAD then Carver Cube with the later addition of Carver TFM 15 amp. Acurus, my first "high end" the ACT Five. Wh...
