Is it all in my head?
Subtle differences usually take some time to fully grasp. Don't believe the hype that the glossy rags spew, not every difference is jaw-dropping. Enjoy the music. 
A Paypal Offer - Is This Secure?
Peter_s, bank wire transfers are the safest method for the seller. It is by far my favorite way to deal Internationally, beeter than Paypal. There are some fees involved, so check with your bank so that you are aware what the fees are.

canary audio repair
It sounds like you were having issues with a ground loop hum, and the factory suggested that you try to float the ground, which caused a loud bang that took out your speakers? It sounds to me like you have major troubles with your electrical servi... 
A Paypal Offer - Is This Secure?
Only thing tat I would add to what has been already said is that make sure on step #2 that you ship to a Paypal VERIFIED address. That's an important step in the seller's protection, making sure that the buyer's address is verfied in the Paypal sy... 
Polk Audio RT2000p or LSi 25's--- WHO CARES ???
You came here for an argument.You can whine all you want about cyber-bullying Chip, but your original post on this thread made it very clear that you wanted attention, regardless of direction. Like a two year old who throws themselves on the floor... 
Sumiko Blackbird MC vs. Clearaudio Maestro Wood MM
Cal, I currently have a sale pending on my Blackbird, but I haven't heard the Maestro Wood. I have read great things about the Maestro, but I was not very impressed with the Clearaudio Aurum Alpha that I owned, I know the AA sold for less than 40%... 
Best preamp 2k or under, new or used
Unfortunately, as others have mentioned here, finding the right preamp is the hardest thing for most of us to do. That being said, a VAC Auricle preamp might be just what you are looking for, at way less then you'd expect to pay.

Interconnect with great dynamics and bass slam ,
The Discovery Essence is a very good cable. I haven't heard it in many years, but I still recall being amazed at how much better it sounded than an expensive Transparent interconnect that it replaced. Probably about 8-10 years ago. If memory serve... 
Recommendation Speaker Cable around $1000-$2000
No. Unfortuantely, like anything else in life, you can't have it all. Cables sacrifice sweetness as they gain transparency and detail, and vice versa. So you can have amazing sweet OR transparent and detailed, but you can't have both. 
Class D vs Class A
+1 Jult52 sums it up pretty well. Call me an old-fashioned Catholic. ;)Sorry George99sa, only you can determine if you will miss the power or not. We don't know how large your room is, how loud you like to listen, etc.My speakers are about the sam... 
Nordost Blue Heaven speaker cable..what a delusion
I have owned the Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8 and the Acoustic Zen Satori Shotgun. Both are fairly similar tonally, good, solid bass, nice mid's and detailed high's without being overly agressive. They differ in their soundstage presentation ...
