Recommend ~9"-wide 2-ch Power Amp with XLR input - please
I have dealt with All Elite Audio, and can highly recommend them.  They carry Advance Paris, although they don’t show the BX-1. Maybe they can get it?  
Does other Audiogon members' opinion carry any weight for you ?
I’m interested in others opinions, but I wouldn’t buy something based solely on someone else’s recommendation. But it was soix’s recommendation that led me to my current speakers (which I love), but would never have considered without his suggesti... 
Matching a amplifier to speakers
@twangy57  - I recommended the JC5 since you initially suggested a budget of $5000. Less is understandable (although I never seem to be able to come in under budget). lol. But the close out price on a new silver Parasound JC5 is nearly the same as... 
Matching a amplifier to speakers
You asked about the Parasound A21+. If you are willing to stretch your budget just a little bit, you can get the Parasound JC5 in silver for $5499. I’ve had Parasound amps for years and just recently bought a JC5 (but in black). I find it really n... 
Okay, that's it -- I'm done (unless I win the lottery)
@deep_333 Lol. You may be right. I said I was done buying new camera gear, but that was five bodies ago. I doubt I’ll ever replace the Bose speakers, as they do a really great job as HT surround speakers; the center speaker is carrying most of the... 
AC Power
OP -- if you have room in your system for a Furman IT-Reference 15i or 20i, you have room for a PS Audio PowerPlant 12.  
Power cables and power conditioners
Every time I ask a question it costs me more money. LOL. Seriously, I’m not averse to spending money, but I try to spend it wisely. In that regard, I probably should explain a bit more. I have two systems that sit side by side. For music/2-channe... 
Power cables and power conditioners
@hilde45 - good advice. I have ##2-4 covered, at least as far as my budget and desires are concerned (my new amp, e.g.).  As for the room, I have it addressed it as well as I can; it’s not an ideal listening space in several regards, but the probl...

Power cables and power conditioners
Sorry; as is usually the case, I wasn’t clear enough. The power cord to the PP12 is a 10 awg PC, but not particulary ’Hi-Fi’. It’s a heavy duty PC I pilfered from an old battery back-up from my computer system. I’m wondering if I should invest in ... 
what is more popular silver or black face plates
I personally prefer black. I’ve noticed some companies (Parasound comes to mind) charge more for the same component in black.   
Are my " diamond " tweeters really diamond
Diamond tweeters in my Usher Dancer Mini-2s. I really like them.   
Looking for a new subwoofer with two inputs
I love this forum!  Audio switch, of course. I found an XLR switch that has audio sensing, so once everything is connected I don’t even have to get out of the chair.    I’ll still consider any subwoofer suggestions, but this seems like the answer...

“However, you need to specify ONE input and ONE output.  So once you specify your digital source you can't specify an analog input at the same time.  And once you specify a digital output you can't have an analog output at the same time.” Except,... 
What is your "holy grail song" that you cannot find?
Not necessarily a ‘holy grail’ song, but for the longest time I’ve wanted to listen to the Buckingham Nicks album again. No streaming service seems to have it. I had it on vinyl in college, but it was stolen along with my other albums and stereo e...
