Opinions on Sunfire, Carver Lightstar amps
I too believe that Sig600 (havent heard the Lightstar) could be the end point and could go with any high performance speaker at any price paid.I did lots of vs. vs. of modern D class Wyred4Sound, NuVista, Krell KAV400i, Bryston monos and found tha...

Make sure your amp handles halved impedance. If not secret what price did you pay for them?

Why are HD downloads so expensive?
If you find them on torrents they're free. 
New Phono Amp?
No sound from the left?Make sure you check your cartridge leads or play with Pioneer phono input and see if both channels work.I personally don't see a reason why small signal component should go bad within such short period time, but more than su... 
Speaker Placement Nirvana
Mustang is Ford Mustang, a muscle car.Schwinn is famous bicycle manufacturer.I don't think that Grimace solved his problem since he does need current. Changing speaker position is only tweek(valuable I admit). 
Vandersteen and NOT BI WIRE---Your thoughts
Vandys aren't current-hungry speakers so less-likely would benefit from biwireing. Biamping is more likely the binding posts are for.

Congrats,You've just changed your Mustang for Schwinn. Certainly lower emission, healthier but substantially slower:-)Room effects may somehow tweak this problem but not resolve. I believe the previous and further posters would agree. 
Question: Is it "Tone Arm" or is it "Tonearm"?

A curious toddler can do crush tests on any bullet-prof equipment and yes I'd doubt if it would work after LOL! 
What are some good tube amps that rock? KT88's?
B&W Matrix is just as tough load as Thiel and totally unfriendly to tubes even if you're crossing over to your sub. The only tube amp comes into mind that is stable down to 2Ohms is VTL MB125,225 etc. 
When to get your amp up graded caps ???
I own unit Classe 30 preamp that is almost 30y.o.It hasn't gone through any recap or repair process although I checked-measured filter caps and tey've only lost 3..4% of labeled capacitance. Having perfect pro skill and instruments to replace circ... 
YouTube Favorites to share.
When I'm in the bad mood I'd always watch some of the wierdest tubes from American Idol auditions:-)The worst is the best! 
ATI 1202 or Parasound HCA-1000A
I'd pick up less pricey if it's only for movies and better quality for multi-ch audio. Leverage between multi-ch/2ch music/movies to decide.For music my choice would be Bel Canto S300 which is approximately the same pricewise as subject.
