New room needs new speakers, I need your help
With your preferences I would avoid the Clayton Shaw Caladans. They are rather hot in the presence region (upper mid to lower treble). Fyne F1-8 are a standmount speaker with an adjustable presence control. You might find they meet your needs. Ve... 
Speaker List narrowed down…
If you decide to go with the Fynes, PM me. F1-8 walnut.  
D amps
I have been using AGD amps for a couple of years now and couldn't be happier. Lovely sound driving my LRS+ with ease.  
In the sand box
Don't use sand if you have cats.  
Magnepan LRS+ resistors on the tweeters… which?
@yyzsantabarbara  Thanks! I cancelled my order for the Risers after discovering that I had much better integration with my subwoofer with the LRS+ on the floor. I tried to buy the jumpers after cancelling, but he wouldn't sell. @yyzsantabarbara ​...

@yyzsantabarbara  What kind of improvement did you hear with the Magna Risers? I have mine on the floor tilted forward and find them to be extraordinary.  @audiofilo123  I am really surprised to hear that. I am very sensitive to excessive energy ...

@mitch2  You have the wrong guy. I’ll redirect to @stuartk   
Six DAC Comparison
@stuartk I wouldn’t rule it out based upon that. It’s something I enjoy fussing with. Read the reviews. They are based on the stock tubes. And it is unlikely you will ever have to replace the tubes.  
Six DAC Comparison
@stuartk Brent Jessie has some. Not inexpensive though.  
Six DAC Comparison
@mitch2  Yes, I am aware of that coming review. Wish it was available now. I do have some RCA 12sn7 GTA's and I am looking for some 6 volts now. It also occurred to me that I might try 12au7's with adapters - I have gone the other way with 12sn7's... 
Six DAC Comparison
@mitch2  All I can say is wow: terrific undertaking and execution. Thank you! I will be receiving the LTA Aero soon to compare to my PS Audio DSD v2. I am familiar with the 12sn7 tubes and the kind of energized presentation they are capable of. M... 
Rays Tubes
@milpai  I have the Mazda's too, but haven't tried them in the Backert. Thanks for the info.     
Rays Tubes
I don’t have a lot of experience rolling tubes, but I recently replaced a pair of NOS 12au7’s (BugleBoys) with PSVane Horizon’s in my Backert Labs preamp. I am very pleased with the results.  
Small speaker advice
Plenty of good suggestions so far. These might be a bit of a squeeze in a small room due to the necessary offset from the front wall, but the LRS+ are incredible speakers when paired with great electronics like you have. They are not as imposing ...
