Harman Kardon 3390 & 3490
Hi HarleyFrom what I've read online the HK 3490 amp section is quite powerful and could push your Vandys to the 92/94 db you require without any issue.Here is one A'gon member who reviewed the HK 3490Audiogon member review HK3490 
Alternatives to Emotiva UMC-1/audio vs HDMI

Best Sounding Passive Preamp
For me it is the McCormack TLC-1 stock or Deluxe. To me they look and sound great. I especially like the feel of the controls of either preamp.

McCormack DNA .5? Do I need more power?
Thanks you guys for chiming in. PtmconsultingI saw your response in the thread about best homemade tweaks and when I get the DNA .5 I may try that EAR Isodamp under the transformer and some rope caulk in the corners. No way am I trying to apply ca...

White noise
Has anyone just used White noise to break in their equipment? If so what were your findings? I've heard of some members who have used pink noise with good results on speaker break-in. I couldn't find much here about white noise and equipment break... 
Auralex SubDude
Jlind325isThe Velodyne subs I used the Auralex SubDude or Great Gramma on were forward firing so I can't help you there with the down firing part of your question. I do know though for the subs I do have I did get good results by putting them on t... 
Your homemade tweaks?
Thanks Mrdecibel for specifying. That builders caulk is easier to find at Home Deport. I asked some of the associates about Mortite or just plain Rope caulk and they had no idea as to what I was talking about.

McCormack DNA .5? Do I need more power?
Hi KoestnerThanks for sharing your thoughts and experience with the DNA .5. I'm hoping to get a DNA .5 soon and see how the little guy does with my KEFs. I had a DNA 1 Deluxe before with the KEF 104/2s and I liked the sound was really revealing bu...
