Recommendation for new cables
What would you recommend based on my system?Nothing. This has nothing to do with your system. People who talk about synergy and system matching are so lost there isn't enough rope in all the world to reach even one of them.   Also, where would yo... 
Speaker suggestions under 4k
I will back up on the Tekton subject. Loud volumes I thought they hardened up some. Lost coherence. Pretty damn loud mind you. I thought this was my room and very well could have been. If my Moabs are anything to go by, it wasn't the speakers. ...

daveyf, I just did explain it. The post immediately preceding yours. By the time enough prices are rising fast enough to catch on to what I’m saying it will be too late. https://cms.zerohedge.com/s3/files/inline-images/https___images.saymedia-c...

Music to my ears. 
Uneven soundstage help, please.
distance from the listening spot to the right and left speakers is identical, same degree of toe in for left and right speakers, speakers are level and the same height? This! ^^ Foolproof method in oddball rooms, what I have done before includ...

We had someone recently with a Blackhawk delivered with bad tubes who wasn't happy. But then in spite of that he wound up buying one anyway, used, killer deal, and is quite happy now. I've been looking at a new integrated for about a year now and ... 
Impedance change!?
Speaker impedance varies with frequency, so the ratings you're using are "nominal" or average, and you can't expect them to match a volt-ohm meter. But if you measure the same way they should measure the same, and they don't, so something is wrong... 
tube noise coming right from the tube
Sounds like a bad rectifier tube. 
Not Thrilled with Vandersteen 2CE Sigs - where is the first place to work on?
That is the way they are supposed to sound- they are Vandersteens! Also they are ridiculous power hogs- 86dB! Why does anyone buy these things? What do you expect?? Sorry, but it doesn’t have to be this way. There’s much better choices around that... 
Does Age Matter?
Its all men because women are smarter than men. They get us to do all the work of researching, buying, and setting up. Then they just come by and listen whenever they feel like. She's smarter than the man in every way. https://www.youtube.com/watc...
