Bass leaves after amp warms up?
Fish,Here is perhaps one of the least expensive amp options out there I have seen that has similar power to your integrated but also advertised ability to double down to 4 ohms. SOme good reviews out there on it, though I have not heard, but low c... 
Review: Jim Smith RoomPlay voicing Tweak
I've heard Magnepans set up in J. Smith's old Audition audio shop in Birmingham AL. HE may have been the guy who helped me when I visited the store that day, not sure. Best sounding Maggies probably I have ever heard still, and I bought a pair on ...

Questions about tweaking Squeezebox software

"What's The Best Value Speaker In $5k-$10k Range?"

"Yes the optimal sound has left then returned an hour or day later but I usually fiddle the cables long before that happens."Its possible that if the amp is on but not playing music that it might return to a more normal state when played again. Wh... 
Hi-Fi Fuses - SNAKE OIL? - or something in it?
Lacee,Do you think it is possible that in some cases with good systems and good ears that user hears no difference replacing an existing "standard issue" fuse with a Hi FI fuse? My opinion is that there may be a discernible difference for the bett...
