New KEF Reference 5 speakers
For what it's worth, I switched from an older KEF reference to an equivalent ATC, and I was much happier. They're along the same lines in terms of sound signature, but the ATCs just did everything better.In your shoes, I probably would hang on to ... 
Soundsource: does this app degrade the source?
Well, yeah. 
Need a power amp for a pair of ATC SCM 11's
Yes, it's a pitfall to get whatever happens to be the best/most appropriate piece of gear that's currently available out of impatience, but you're starting a years-long relationship with your system. It would be like marrying the kinda right perso... 
Need a power amp for a pair of ATC SCM 11's
If you can find a Musical Fidelity A308, you'll have a great match with money left over. Mine drives ATC SCM 40 v2s. 150 watts and other good power specs -- more than enough for your speakers. (If I go up to eleven o'clock, my ears hurt.) Similar ... 
Inexpensive headphone amp paired with an audiophile integrated amp
Ah... thanks 
Inexpensive headphone amp paired with an audiophile integrated amp
Thanks. I actually have a Schiit Magna sending to Shure 1840 headphones from a nice musical fidelity integrated—as of yesterday. I just have no frame of reference to know if this makes good sense.

I’m still wondering if a very complex room could be a good room, audio wise.

Lemonhaze: Thank you for the links. 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
Can the elements in a complicated room cancel/balance themselves off so that it ends up being a good room for sound. For example, slanted, high wooden ceilings and wall-to-wall carpeting, and windows and absorbing furniture all seem as though they... 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
It seems that my post has spawned a host of impassioned viewpoints and debates.Cool. I was hoping it would. And it's totally okay with me if people belittle my premise or go "off topic." These are just more viewpoints as far as I'm concerned. I ca...

I agree. On an informational level, an incredible amount of stuff is online somewhere, but that has its limitations. 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
Reading my post, I can see that I'm a master of posing unanswerable/possibly pointless questions. Nonetheless, if anyone has pondered any of this, I'd be curious to hear his thoughts (are there women on the forum? There must be.).
