speaker upgrade from Magico A3
@lemonhaze  I dont have very much leeway in the subs placement, only where they point. I find the flip phase adjustment to be very limiting. In my case I can hardly hear the difference between the 0 and 180 phases. Another complaint I have is ther...

@rsf507 ​​@soix -- Thanks. Compared to the A3s, the Serafinos seemed to have less midrange detail and also overall less focused (if that makes sense).  I played a track that is overly bright on my system and it was still overly bright through the ...

I won't say that the SF Serafinos were disappointing, but I will say that it was immediately obvious that they would not be an upgrade to the current A3 system. Neither my wife or I connected with them and I suspect that the "SF sound" is not for ... 
speaker upgrade from Magico A3
Wow-- thanks again everyone. AFAIK, TMR doesn't do any auditioning at all, I've been there several times to drop off and pick up equipment. They are not a brick and mortar store. I'll be home auditioning some SF Serafinos next week followed by Am...

@gdnrbob and @soix - thanks, I'm in Colorado. I would love to hear some PrtoAcs K6 signatures, but can't find a Colorado dealer. I'll keep my eye out for Vandies.   @dweller --  I have considered AXPONA, my step daughter and family live close by...

A lot of great advice in these responses, thank you all for your considerations. If I were younger I would consider less established brands, but at these prices I need to be aware of the resale opportunities when I'm not around to supervise :). ...

New Magico Speaker Break-in Question
@jmeyers --  How are things with the new A5s?  
Aurender Conductor app
@hgeifman -- Are you a Conductor user ? If so, how do you keep track of your albums?  If not, why would you respond? By the way, Aurender has been no help at all regarding this.     
Do You Unplug Equipment During Thunderstorms?
I haven't in the past, but it sounds like a great idea!  
Do I need upgraded power cables?
    @erik_squires  Sorry, lets talk cables. Honestly always like to encourage first timers to consider making their own using high quality shielded cables from Parts Connexion. I discovered that making PCs was pretty easy and enjoyable. I ... 
No love for Cube Audio speakers?
I would never consider 45% of MSRP to be too high of an  advertised price.  
confused about 20 amp power cables
Apologies if I gave the impression that I was wondering if it was OK to use a 15A circuit. I was never going to do that. I was wondering about the 15A male plug on the supplied PC and the 15A male plug on the power conditioner. At any rate if you ... 
confused about 20 amp power cables
No worries!  Are you saying the 10AWG power cord could have been 12 AWG and would have been less expensive?     
T+A HVEQ room correction software
Thanks @rhtowson.   Of course! I forgot all about cross over cables, it's been a very long time since I've had to use one.  Anyways I was able to run the software using the switch and I dont think the measurements suffered form it.
