PROAC D48R Bass Booming
Try positioning them away from the corners and walls as best you can.Also experiment with your listening position.Plus what dweller suggested.

Tempo Electric 4N Silver Speaker Cables
I like some silver in my system also.Not from end to end,but balanced with occ copper in some spots seems just right.Sweet system you've got! 
Another new DAC: Audio Mirror
I've tried several ECC88 tubes.They all sound good to me,just different from each other.One thing they have in common is there is a wider and taller soundstage. 
Audiophile Bass?
I've never had good results with spikes.Multiple subs and room treatments for me.Real life bass is also effected by the space where it is performed and sometimes the sound guy.It will never sound exactly the same as a live performance so nothing w... 
Life After Your Magnepan’s
Congrats!I'm a Swarm convert since last summer.What an amazing positive difference multiple subs achieve. 
The “They are here” vs “You are there” sound topic
No preference.In my smallish room "they are here" is easy to achieve.If I leave the room and head to the kitchen it sounds so much like arriving late to a large venue and hearing the band from the lobby,then "I am there."Our rooms and speaker plac...

Damping Plates
My MicroZOTL2 benefits greatly from damping.Isoacoustic footers helped and two pounds of weight on top changes the sound for the better in this lightweight component.I'm currently experimenting with materials and figuring out how to incorporate a ... 
im putting this in as many forums as i can..........
So people that manufacturer or sell power conditioners were advising that you don't need one?Unusual.... And a direct lightening strike didn't wreak havoc on your electrical system?Ok. 
MHDT Orchid or Lampizator Amber 3?
Nice!The same sort of thing happens when I put ECC88s in my Tubadour.Really expands the sound.I'd love to find out if 6SN7s would work but it's too tight and they wouldn't fit dammit! 
What are you using to drive your Tektons?
My Impact Monitors are driven by an Aric Audio amp.KT150 tubes in se mode,sweetness + dynamics. 
Do I need a sub?
Yes.This is what I use:https://www.audioadvisor.com/prodinfo.asp?number=AQM22FHRDThey are very well made and snug fitting. 
New silversmith fidelium cable
They look just like the Gorertz cables made by Alpha-Core.I liked them in a prior system very much,but they will cause some amps to oscillate without a zoebel network at the speaker terminals.
