Help with crossover capacitors
rocknss, this Just one caution: how hard do you drive your speakers? The 300R, 12 watt resistor may get hot when used hard, in place of a 15 watt. Have you considered doubling up in parallel? I would be sure to meet or exceed all voltage and powe... 
Wiring classe ssp600 with anthem avm60
You can connect the ssp600 12v trigger output to the a remote switcher, when you turn on the ssp600, it will automatically connect the ssp600 front left and right channel to the power amp inputs, when the ssp600 is turned off, the switcher wil... 
Preamp suggestions
 If you need a built-in phono stage, look for a Nakamichi Ca-5 Preamplifer  
Help with crossover capacitors
The resistor power rating is the maximum amount of power that the resistor can withstand. It won't give your speaker more power, I believe the designer use a 15watt resistor for a reason.  
Metal cabinet speakers
Add Piega and Burmester to the list.  
Help with crossover capacitors
And another question:  The resistors are 30ohm 15watt and 15ohm 10watt.  Mills makes both of these in 12 watt versions.  Will this work? Two 15ohm 12watt resistor in series will give you a 30ohm 24watt. 
Problem with my HK 825 Preamp
Relay chattering! Check the relay driver circuits, could be some leaky capacitor caused short, you can download the services manual @ elektrotanya.com: https://elektrotanya.com/harman_kardon_hk825_sm.pdf/download.html#dl 
PL EVO Pre - Output transformers!
For balanced/unbalanced conversion in TUBE pre, I prefer transformer than op-amp. 
Musicians in your living room vs. you in the recording hall?
A listening room that is too small (like a bedroom) tends to leave too much of its own sonic signature. I don't mind them in my bedroom : ) https://www.rediff.com/getahead/slide-show/slide-show-1-glamour-top-20-sexiest-female-musicians-of-a... 
Coda 8 amp
Coda make good amp with reasonable price, if your speaker not power hungry, you can order one with higher class A bias. I use a CSiB integrated to drive Thiel CS2.4 and very happy with the result. 
Extreme NEWB Questions and Speaker Identification
These speakers sound absolutely amazing vocally...never really heard anything so pure. However, there is little to no bass... If the speakers are powered by a AVR, please make sure the speaker setting is "Large" or "Full range" and not "Small"

Wiring Multiple Subwoofer Drivers
@ptheo  I would like to know if one is better than the other & the pros/cons of each. The two different wiring diagram I’m considering are: 2 sets of 3 series drivers run parallel= 12ohms 3 sets of 2 series drivers run parallel= 5.3333ohms...
