Ethernet cables
Well, I recently was provided with a high enough speed internet to allow hi-rez music streaming. I am about to purchase a Bluesound streamer to be connected to router via ethernet cable. I purchased the Monoprice Cat8 cable as it was of higher qua... 
Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby?
I always had a decent audio system in my house and my 3 kids were exposed to good music. I purchased each a system that fit their needs based on their desires, not my own. None expensive.  My oldest daughter has a vinyl based system. My son runs v... 
Help me complete my stereo system (Harbeth, ClearAudio Concept).
Yes, it is a great amplifier. Sorry, I was just providing info regarding power requirements, not trying to make a amp recommendation.You might start a new thread requesting amp recommendations for the P3s. Provide budget, sonic preference, rooms s... 
Now I am in a Delimma
What amp are you currently using? Maybe take your amp to the dealer a d give an extended listen to the Klipsch there. Unless you are intending to purchase both.  
Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock?
In as much as I would agree the ideal would be not to have to attenuate the amplifier, a 200wpc amp driving 100dB speakers seems a mismatch. In your case, with the amp unattenuated you are using very little of the gain provided by the line stage o...

BEL, Brown Electronics Labs is no longer. Mr. Brown passed away in 2009.

Yes the P3 would play well into your room and of a quality that responds to quality amplification.  Regarding sensitivity I believe they are much like my Esoteric MGs which are ~87db sensitive and 6 ohm nominal impedance with a min slightly below ... 
Schiit Saga+...What’s the point of the tube?
The input impedance of the amplifier to be used with the Saga is important. The output of the Saga differs between passive and buffer mode. With buffer being much lower. This as I understand it. 
Schiit Freya+ or Saga+? Vidar or Aegir?
If I were to purchase a Saga I would do so to use the tube stage. To me there would be no other reason to own one. The mentioned high output impedance of the passive stage would also bother me. With a room of your size I would think the Aegir woul... 
Amplifier knobs...where to "set" on the clock?
With the volume set at noon, where is the volume set on the pre when listening at loudest levels. 
members and their systems
I bought and sold some audio gear between 1983 and 85 in the process of putting together a system I lived with for 26 years. During that time I continued my education, worked full time, raised 3 kids and put them through college. Over the last 10 ... 
amazing video about listening, in a very special heartfelt way.
Yes, great! Must share with my wife and kids. Thanks! 
Floor Speakers Speakers for Movies / TV
Wow, sounds like you need a floor standing speaker that is less than 36" and narrow. There are many. Also you might need speakers that could accommodate outriggers to bolt them to the floor.  
Line Magnetic quality
Sorry for the second post, thought I lost it. 
Line Magnetic quality
@facten Thanks, I will reach out to Tone. Possible that the 518 also has a passive preamp stage with all tubes in the amplifier. My 211 lacks the preamp input. It seems to me that an amplifier having a sensitivity of 200mV would not require, and p...
