Should we use ridiculously priced cables to listen to Rap?
Sure, why not, if you can use them for your noise, they got the money, they should be able to use them with their nose.As an after thought, can you pass the grey poupon??? 
Need small size speakers for fireplace.
Used for $400 is your limit thats fine. Just remember you'll get what you pay for. Better option, do without for a liitle while, double that 400 to 800. Your used increase performane will triple. Good luck

Gallo A'Diva se. Their small enough sound pretty good. Strada 2's even better. Of course a sub wouldn't hurt. 
Who are the most underground high-end companies
+1 on Blue Circle as well as Decware and AVAAlso check out Almarro 
Jazz for aficionados
Not a jazz fan guess I'm not cool enough. Let me me know when you get a rock thing going. Now were talking. 
Tekton vs Decware
Never heard the Decware, but by default I'd go with them. TO MY EARS, I don't get Tekton or Zu Audio. Way to bright, way in your face. No warmth. No fullness of sound, for lack of a better water, their un-refined speaker. 
Where can you get a Klipsch demo in Central Ohio?
Probably hear them at Best Buys. 
Merlin TSM-MMM vs Adam Acoustics Compact MK 3
Don't get it. If one needs to upgrade your speaker to get it right., then you got it wrong to begin with. Why would you spend money on a set of speakers if  your going to upgrade for the sound you want???  Get it right the first time. 
Afraid to buy new speakers
Must say not a fan of 906's. Never heard the 926. Just didn't like the bass at all. Very muddied, sloppy. My ear anyway. 
So you've just heard speakers that blew you away
Your assuming its all going sound the same in you room. You didn't happen ask what brand toilet they use so you can give a go also??? 
Totem Model 1 Signatures best speaker cables
Didn't care for these. Found them bright after awhile got tired of listening. Just not my cup of tea. Guess that's why you have to listen for yourself. Just my opinion. 
ATC SCM-11
Two things, They do  better with more juice, but more importantlly I've found they sound best with the volumne turned up. If for a room your size that will be a problem.  Lots swear but for me I sold mine. To analytical. Couldn't listen for extent... 
Totem Rainmaker vs Dynaudio Excite 12 shelf spks?
Please, please.don't just go by reviews. You have to listen. These rags make their money not from subscriptions but from advertising. This with the handouts and perks, come on man, do the math!! 
Which Harbeths for 14x35x12 living/kitchen space?
Good for you, your happy and that's what counts. Not a big fan of subs. If you need sub with your speakers, than frankly you got the wrong speaker. Harbeths, yes their ok, sound a little to polite for me and don't hate me I think their overpriced. 
Revel Performa 3
Think the 206 is a better option. I'm talking for my room. To get true benefit from the 208's ( and please this is not in anyway a put down),  I'd have to give them more juice, and frankly it would overwelm my room. You don't realize how how impor...
