Totem forest And Mass loading
When I auditioned the Totem Forest, I was under the impression that the Beaks would "tune" and clean up resonance issues.The cabinets are very "lively" and if u decide to use lead shot, take care not to deaden the sound. It might also remove some ... 
Looking to Upgrade my CDP
I'm very happy with my new(used) ARC CD-3... fantastic imaging and dynamics plus no more CD glare.Question... anybody have experience using HiFi tuning fuses in their CDP? I'm not looking for more detail, but a smoother presentation in the highs. 
Amp repair...What to expect.
Mine took 50 hrs. to start sounding like a Sunfire again. Then at about 300 hours, it opened up and sounded like its old self (except that now it was dead-quiet). 
Amp repair...What to expect.
You've raised some issues I never even thought of. Roland at carveraudiorepair has cornered the market on allparts, but when I needed service it was a 3 month wait. On the forums I found out that he has former Carver/Sunire people with him and the... 
Amp repair...What to expect.
that's great news Marakanetz. It would be a shame to replace it since you're happy with your system. I love the Sunfire sound, plus I dont think you could find a better amp for the price. My amp is also dead quiet since the service...such great bu... 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
I admire all you kind people you have tried to help a brother out. Also, who doesn't love a good mystery.Fishing, it would be great to test your system with the MF M6PRX Power Amplifier. Once again, they give no power rating into 4 ohms; but state... 
Sun light issues... possibly?
I can only speak for myself, but after years of sunlight on my left speaker, the wood finish no longer matched the other speaker. Elizabeth's idea would probably work in this case.

One more time...Go to Radio Shack, then test the SPL. 
Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD
Agree, Lloydelee21. Very dynamic and very well paced. It's on L'Oiseau-Lyre, so naturally the sound is first-rate.I wasn't sure about buying this HIP cycle; it's not widely reviewed, so I bought them all individually(used) and I'm glad I did.

Fishing, I can feel your frustration, but IMO nothing can be done w/o measuring the SPL. Wait for your friend to measure and then we'll have a more definitive diagnosis. (Underpowered amp as many of us believe). OK, my last post. 
Beethoven Symphonies - best perf + sonics on CD
Lloydelee21, A very good choice....so different than the cycles we've been discussing. I won't spoil it for you, all I'll say is I like that he credits his musicians and the period instruments they play.Will wait for your review. 
Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Fishing, You've had so much good advice here, I believe the solution lies within. I don't think you should make any major decisions (like new speakers) until you've measured the SPL.On the subject of amps into PCs, just FYI, my Sunfire manual stat...

Props go to Tls49 for catching the conditioner issue.And Bifwynne, looking at that impedance curve, these PSBs need some power to push them to their potential.
