Great speaker sounds terrible in my room?
You liked the speakers at the sellers 2 feet from the wall and you don't like them 10 feet from the wall. Have you tried pushing them back closer to the wall? They are small monitors and likely need some bass reinforcement from the room you're not... 
How many systems do you have?
800 sqf condo here so just the one and it's plenty enough.

@tomic601 I never knew you were Jim I've been calling you Tom all these years for obvious reasons. :)

Congratulations on the new speakers! I ran Alon, Carl's prior company, Lotus Elite's for a few years and loved them, had to give em up when I moved to a smaller place.

+1 @lalitk and @david_ten you're talking about all kinds of equipment you've never heard. Even something good may not be to your tastes. That being said buying used at least can mitigate any losses you may incur. Good luck on your search!  
Atma-Sphere vs. Supratek
I will just say neat and tidy looks neat and tidy. However routing for neatness and routing for best sound are sometimes two different things. I don't have a dog in this fight I did have an original Syrah back in the early 2000s. I was unimpressed... 
What gear is on the horizon?
My AN Dac is in the shop getting a full refurbish after a bridge rectifier failed and took some other components out, so focused on getting that back sometime later this year!  
How long ago did you catch the bug?
Thanks @zavato if only I hadn't started reading about tubes in audio mags!  
How long ago did you catch the bug?
Late 90s for me got my first real paying job and decided since I liked listening to music more than anything I should get a real stereo. First real system a Rega Planet, Bryston B-60 bought new and some two way Definitive Technology towers I picke... 
Thumping noise
It's obviously causing something in the cabinet to rattle or vibrate just take it out and be done with it. You'll get better sound that way also. You can put it back in the cabinet when not in use.  
Looking To Match A Tube Amp With A Pair Of Audio Note AN-K/Spe
No Vu Hoang is the owner of Deja Vu Audio and has the best ears in the business in my opinion.  
Dr. Johnny Fever from WKRP in Cincinnati has signed off :-(
RIP Howard Hesseman and WKRP a great show.  
What does the word audiogon even mean?
Going...going.....gon... As in auctions as when Audiogon first appeared Ebay was the only thing going. At least that's always been my assumption.

Jacytoy I hear you on pushing the connectors really hard super tight fit which is great. It's a bit hard to comment on the sound as my Dac is in the shop I am using a loaner Dac a little Jolida Glass FX Dac. On top of that change a friend sent me ...
