Its the new special snowflake mentality- feelings hurt? No worries! Re-write history!Not fascist at all. Always worked out so well in the past..... and another post deleted in three, two, one.... 
Please Make Audiogon Cool
If you have to ask how to be cool... you ain't.   
Output Impedance and Speaker Impedance
No danger. Seems to be a general thing as a lot of guys have the same experience when trying this with all kinds of different amps and speakers.But wait a minute- you are running two pairs of speakers at the same time??? What is this?? Home Theater? 
Your thoughts about an upgrade
Since you mention bass then this one is very simple. Long before a risky speaker change a much better move would be to add a distributed bass array, aka Swarm subwoofer system.The beauty of this is virtually any four subs you get will blend seamle... 
US made, integrated tube preamp able to handle KT150 tubes?
Dunno about pre-amp but if you mean integrated that is right in the ballpark for a Prima Luna. They'll run just about any tube you want. Haven't heard one myself but based on all the comments, reviews, and build info a Prima Luna integrated is #1 ... 
Please Make Audiogon Cool
Without this type of interaction, Audiogon becomes just a shopping support group. You mean like when I came asking about a simple ciruit mod (in tech talk no less!) and was told to just sell the amp and buy another one? Wait a minute! That was ... 
Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall
Note the comment about how some speakers are "voiced" for near wall placement. Anyone can "voice" a speaker to not sound as bad near a wall. All this means is the frequency response is tailored so the speaker actually needs to be placed near a wal... 
Tell us about your acoustic treatments
My room is 17x34x9. Built myself from scratch, so I have heard it in every state from wide open (framed up, no sheetrock) to -sheetrock on walls but not ceiling, and half the room with furniture (long story)1/2" sound board over sheetrock (walls) ... 
Interconnect Directionality
Oh for the good old days when it was considered poor form to lower yourself to argue with those of lesser station, intelligence, or ability, especially when they are so obviously caught, ensnared and constrained by their own little compulsion, obs... 
Interconnect Directionality
Obssessed, he is. No ifs, ands, or buts about it. 
Interconnect Directionality
roberttcan-Its very unlikely clearthink and geoffkait are one. If clearthink and geoffkait were the same person then that person would have to be able to write, post, and communicate both, together, and with the style, manner, and form of clearthi... 
Meridian dsp
Sorry, do not understand the question. What I do, which is what you and everyone else should do, is bring the speakers home for audition. Then if you like them, guess what? Boom. They are integrated. Your system is integrated. Integrated by the wa... 
Problems with a Phase Technologies HV-800 subwoofer
Its a cheap sub, and cheap subs use cheap plate amps, and even decent plate amps tend to blow one way or another anyway. Well they are mounted in a high vibration energy environment, you know? So that's the bad news, your amp is done.The good news... 
Bookshelf Speakers that have to be up against the wall
You lost your imaging the minute you put the speakers right up against the wall. Only thing worse you could do is put them on an actual bookshelf with books and stuff lined up flush with the front of the speakers. Bookshelf is a term of size. The ... 
The sonic rightness of a mono system.
Many conventional stereo systems are producing smaller shortened indistinct soundstages that one must sit dead center of while sounding poorly off-axis.So let me get this straight. Because "many" don't know how to properly set up a stereo, you wen...
