Why not use a massive "C" structure instead of a basket Shape it as a sphere (no sharp angles) while you're at it. Get rid of some of thems standing waves & feedback.* Also, pls extend usable FR 120-22kHz, if possible, w/out a wizzer.* Pls pro... 
Would a preamp help?
Edesilva: if you're riving two 200kOhm loads in parallel, the Delius is looking at an equivalent 100k load -- a very easy /trivial load for a 1ohm output Z device... If you can set the delius to 6V output do so -- you might be feeding insufficient... 
Would a preamp help?
I would look for a solution before purchasing a pre...What you describe sounds like the Delius isn't driving the amp too well -- i.e. the dac's output impedance is too high at certain frequencies. This is surprising though... what's the VT100s' in... 
Acapella Versus Avantgarde
Murray: I didn't actually "change" the Violon for another spkr. Rather, I kept my old spkrs (Genesis V, slightly modded) for two reasons:- The cost: I *thought* I could manage the asking price -- but changing circumstances decreed that I couldn't-... 
Do subwoofer magnets interfere with amplifiers?
The latter (i.e. don't worry). A foot is good + the magnetic field fm the woof would hardly be strong enough, I don't think. If you want to be super safe, place a copper sheet b/ween subwoof & amp. 
Manger Owners?
Audio: did you test the drivers alone? If so, have you posted the test results anywhere?? Cheers 
What is "biwiring"?
Hi Oakiris:- Fm yr description, yr spkrs allow bi-wiring- Yr receiver should work fine with two sets of wires connected, as you note.- Running separate wires to each driver (biwiring) does make a difference -- which differences, when/if beneficial...

2500+ wpc (...) on demand (...) maybe ...is A BIT too much power for these speakers.. Sean: tsk, tsk, tsk (my emphasis).I'm sorry for the resulting complications -- and I doubt you could have done s/thing in advance to avoid this (the fuses would ... 
Subwoofer X/O frequency experiments
The important factor is a subwoofer that doesn't conk out at 100 Hz...True, especially to avoid sub drivers' distortion as the frequency goes up.Generally speaking, I've noticed that most of us use subs as woofer complements, i.e. to offer extra ... 
Final ditch effort to improve my sound. Pls. help
The modded Pioneer OR a modded Panasonic would do the trick. There's also the modded Philips 963 -- but it's more expensive I think. I haven't LISTENED to the Panasonic -- only heard abot it & read about it here.Basically, a modded dvd player ... 
Acapella Versus Avantgarde
Which model? There are several from each manufacturer. I used the Acapella Violon for a while & the Duo. I much preferred the Acapella.As an indication, I listen to a lot of classical (and judge by it).
