To those running Klipsch Forte IIIs...
I'm going to have some older Heresys(vintage 80s?) here on Friday to listen to courtesy of my brother.He wants to hear them with tubes.I've never heard them before.We listen to his Cornwalls when I visit him.It'll be fun to compare them to my Tekt... 
Amps I Like
I do know what you mean about the sound being restricted.I've heard it before.I've thought to myself as it being too polite or lack of dynamics. 
Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!!
Cables are a fascinating puzzle.If you take four cables (for instance) that are structured exactly the same and measure exactly the same,the only difference being the grade of copper used - they will sound completely different from one another.Nob... 
Active pre-amp for “difficult” music (fusion)
A clean and clear sounding pre like the LTA MicroZotl (any model) would do the job.And some good uncolored cabling. 
$1300-1500 DAC

I feel the same artemus.Tubes excel at getting the timbre and harmonics correct. 
Just how big is our foot print?
I think your threads are interesting.But they do give off a subtle negitive vibe often which results in some members feeling defensive.Maybe talking about what you like on your new tv show would be a good thing:-)

@ishkabibil nice video.You looked so intense trying not to screw up playing with the pros:-)You did yourself proud.Thanks for the link!It's important to me to get the bass correct also.It needs to be organic and full so it feels real. 
Paypal error. Can't pay for the item I just purchased!
See the link above to uberwaltz 's thread on this issue.Basically PayPal requires all sellers on this site to change their personal accounts to business accounts.PayPal didn't bother to inform anyone.It's causing a lot of frustration.

Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Oval 8...OMG!!
You know,I've always felt 25 hours was enough time for a component,cable,or tube to show most of it's final sound then improve in small increments.I was so wrong.The paper in the box with the Crystal Solo 8 cables said 300 hours for final break in...

Whats playing on your system today?
Van Halen first thing in the morning?!Aerosmiths greatest hits for me last night.Sounded better than I thought it would and was just plain fun:-) 
Towers vs stand mounts with dedicated stereo subs?
flavo with the dimensions of your room being practically exact doubles (6.5+6.5=13) (13+13=26) and 28 ft long you have some serious standing waves.The bass will never be optimal without room correction software and/or better room treatments.GIK wi... 
Popular new/used SS stereo power amps under $2500?
Parasound amps are both warm and fast.My brother has one that replaced a Krell that was fast but sterile/cool.After finding the best cables to compliment your system it may be exactly what you're looking for.
