Need help for a replacement of my Levinson 33H
Halcro DM68 monoblocks 
Wilsons Watt/puppy 6 .... where in my room?
Congrats. I own the 7s and everything that's been said here about taking care in setup is true, especially ensuring that the room is well treated to ameliorate echo, standing waves, first reflections, etc.. You didn't say, but if you purchased the... 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?

Any of the Paul Simon remastered or the new RCA Living Stereo Hybrid SACDs. 
Best Redbook player with XLR outs
You should be able to find a ML 390S for about $4K used. This has been my primary source for years and it's awesome. It also has the added benefit of having its own volume control which means you can go direct into an amp. 
How do you get to listen to high end speakers?
How long ago was this? I'm going back to the late 80s early 90s. 
Half-price "Used / New" Cables
Thanks all. The XLRs I just received appear to be perfect, new Cardas Golden Reference, that's not to say they're not a good counterfeit, but they certainly sound better than the Nordost Red Dawn I'm replacing them with....so. The speaker cable is... 
How do you get to listen to high end speakers?
Hmmmm...wouldn't be Sound Components by any chance? Interesting that the store's former owner, Peter McGrath, is now in a lead role with Wilson Audio. I'm a former customer of that store when Peter owned it, and I was treated extremely well. Just ... 
Power Conditioner Helpful?
I have a similar power set up to yours: dedicaated 20 AMP circuits, one to my power amp and a separate on to the front end with 10ga wire. The amp goes straight into the wall, but my front end is plugged into a PS Audio P300 PowerPlant. It's worth... 
Anyone compared new Shunyata cords with old?
I just replaced my Top Gun HFC-i on my Levinson 335 with an Anaconda AX and a PS Audio Lab Cable II on my 390S with an Anaconda VX. What a huge difference! Articulation was greatly improved and the general presentation seemed as if a veil has been... 
Looking for a Speaker in the $15,000 Range
I own WATT/PUPPY 7s and they're amazing, although 1/2 again as much outside your range. They through a huge stage, are extremely efficient at 92db/w/m, and are a rather benign 4 ohm impedance. 
ML 380s is this a good match with Martin Logan's?
I have a 335 with a 380S and 390S front end. The speakers are ML Odysseys all connected w/ Nordost Red Dawn Rev 2 and the room has been treated with ASC Studio Traps, Sound Planks and Super Traps. They're awesome. Unbelieveable soundstage, depth a... 
Review: Nordost Red Dawn 1M Interconnect
I run 28' Red Dawn Rev 2 XLR between Levinson 380S and 335 with no issues either. 
Review: Martin Logan Odyssey Speaker
I've owned Odysseys for about 13 mos. The room is approx. 17 x 35 and is a loft the left side of which is open. The front wall is entirely damped with blinds and drapes. There are ASC super trap in the right corner and Sound Planks along the point...
