Warm Up Time/Cost of Operation
@bipod72 . I was going to post the same thing. I have 2 sets of amps, the grand daddy to your Omega’s The CAM350’S, Oddly enough they don’t consume as much as my Acoustat TNT200’s I don’t have the idle consumption for the Classe’s, but the TNT20... 
Big speakers, are they really the best way to get great sound?
Sometimes more is just More!  
Benchmark or McIntosh....
I never owned Mac's or Benchmarks. It seems to me that the whole purpose of this room is for home theater.. Wouldn't the meters from the Mac's be a distraction while watching a movie...

After a long, long sleep: ML-335
@mofimadness i think that amp needs some larger panels to take advantage of all that power.  I have Spectra 33's along with a pair of TNT200'S, monoblockeded. Everything modified and upgraded by Roy Esposito. That's a BEAST of an amp.. I would be... 
After a long, long sleep: ML-335
Is that really a 150lb amp... that's a beast!!!!  
What was your first record?
@coltrane1 yes, those were the days.  During my bi-weekly listening sessions,  after I've turned on my system on Thursday night to be all warmed up, Kind of Blue is in that rotation.  Enjoy the Music my brotha...
