My Sonus Faber Amatis have weak bass even though I'm running ML 536s--800 w/ch into 4 ohms
Glad you solved the problem. What were the isolating and coupling solutions you were using?  
Best products and process to polish piano black KEF speakers
Without pics it's impossible to make recommendations that are not guesses...but assuming you have swirl marks and minor scratches in the clear coat only, so far only the suggestion by @bigtwin is on the right track (other than contact KEF). Waxes ... 
Adding an extra 1ft to premium speaker cables
Just making sure I've got the story straight... No one gave you short premium speaker cables. You made that up so you could elicit predictable responses (don't do it), and then show everyone how smart you are by explaining that there are other wi... 
Any love for Cullen Cables?
Cullen products are really well made and very reasonably priced.  
Encouraging people to consider a traditional 2 channel stereo system.
Based on the growth of vinyl sales, seemingly endless choices in stereo equipment, and a wide range of price points, I'm not sure the industry needs any help.      
Nordost Valhalla 2 Speaker Cable
I agree with @ghdprentice - at a minimum your speakers seem too close to each other, assuming your system pic is current. I’m curious what motivated you to spend something like 3 times the cost of your speakers on cables (assuming I’ve got the co...

Best Receiver for “Mid-Fi” System?
+1 Yamaha flagship (RX-A3080) for $1200 I own one. The built in streamer / DAC is decent and supports Tidal/Qobuz, SXM radio. It currently drives a dedicated surround system, but previously it was in a combined 2 channel and 5.2 channel system  ... 
Any modern rock recommendations?

Flatscreen between speakers
@newton_john Although I no longer have a TV between speakers, I did for several years, and it was quite close to the wall and above the main speakers. Covering the TV significantly improved stereo imaging. I also have an acoustic guitar in the r... 
Cayin, Line Magnetic, and Willsenton with 805 Feedback
My experience with LM was positive. But I owned the LM-88IA. Build quality is very good. When I was ready to move on, it sold quickly and made room for a Raven Osprey which was awesome but obviously more $$$ ive now moved on to SS based on speake... 
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
Congratulations on your 1st post being a big hit!  Although it did take you 5 years to come up with it. Now let's see your virtual system!        
Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too?
Do any others on here have a similar artist, or artists that can trigger the same physical reaction? No. But this thread that's starts with a negative connotation does. 13 pages and counting. Misery loves company I guess.  
SDV 3100 HV owners
I'm curious what speakers you are driving and also what are your goals for switching the amp? I own a PA 3100 HV driving Harbeth 40.3 XDs and I'm really happy with the pairing. Warm and musical with what seems like unlimited headroom, however my ...
