Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline?
David12 . I belive you have beem misled. The side firing woffer are a plus, not a negative. I suggest you will be happier with a Super Eclipse VS the Sonata's. Have heard them both and the SE is better by far. 
Match of amp power and speaker power handling
Totaly of base. Power is required to drive inefficient speakers. if you speakers are efficient 10 watts will work.604 dont need 200 watts of power. Many look to watts to make up for thier other short cummings.

restock, i would not comment on something I have not heard. I heard some just the other day at a local dealer. It is an ok product and is very good to upper Mid-Fi. Its not in the same class as CJ,Rouge,Audio Aero, Unison. Mind you for 770.0o he g... 
12K new/used to spend
Cemoore, the 802d is a nice speaker, but its not the best anywhere near the price. B&W carry a premium price . They are good speakers .Sonus farbers, Coincident,Merlin,Silver line are all as good if not better at lower price points. 
DIY cables Vs Mass market cables.
Robm321,Jps Labs does not make thier cable. They buy production cable like 99% of others dress it up nice and find it a date with money bags.I had JPS cables and they where not bad, my DIY are far better. Just becuse we can make cables that are be...

Tubes or solid state for Sonus Faber Grand Piano
With 90b efficincey 75 watts is fine for this speaker. I have heard 90db speakers with 8 watt 300b tubes play as loud as you would ever want.The mac will be fine. 
Your Opinion: Coincident Vs. Silverline?
I own Coincident speakers and have heard the Silverline Sonata's and some of their other models. Both are very nice and will give you speakers you can live with for a long time.For your room I would go with Coincidents, the Side firing woffers wil... 
Has anyone experienced PNF Audio's cables?
Another guy with buyers remorse looking for validation. If they sound good to you great. What does it matter what other think unless you feel ripped off and are looking for someonelse to make you feel better. 
What are differences between Dual 301/401?
Ebay is not a good source for what anything is worth. I sold a 10 year old Cd plaer for 189.00 and I payed 149.00 when I bought it. All ebay is is an auction site. If your looking for a good table, neither one is what your looking for. 
Need to turn volumn up to break in speaker cable?
Just paly music through the unit. Do you really think break in CD's are going to make a difference. If so I got some swamp land for you. Play music and dont be so caught up in hype. Music before hype. 
Anybody tried 20th Anniversary Purist cables?
For a tenth of the price you can do just as well. When will people realise how much they are getting ripped by the cable hoax. Yes cables make a difference. But you dont need to spend more than a few hundred dollars to ge the best thier is. Its no... 
Cable isolators ???
The foam is a good bet. All that ceramic stuff gets you no better results.

Shame Jolida is not a hi end product. You have bought made in China mid fi. Sorry to be so blunt. 
DIY cables Vs Mass market cables.
Diy is very simple. All you have to do is be able to read and follow instructions. Its easy to diss DIY when you are one of the people who have bought into the Snake Oil that is the cable business. On my first try I replaced a 30.00 Per foot cable...
