Maybe not to the extent of Sgt.Pepper's but:Elton John-Goodbye Yellow Brick Road...proved you could sell millions of copies of a double album.Peter Frampton-Frampton Comes Alive...proved you could sell millions of copies of a "live" album. 
Sub woofer cable help please...
The Paradigm X-30 is exactly what I am using. It works great and has controls on the front of the unit for easy setup. This unit solved my hook-up problems. 
Sub woofer cable help please...
You might check with your preamp manufacterer first. I did the same thing and once I plugged in the "Y"-adapter to my extra set of outputs, it bridged both channels, (and both sets of outputs) to mono.If the extra set of outputs are just paralled ... 
Price for ARC PH3 SE and PH5
The new issue of Tone Audio has a review of the new ARC PH6, but he also has on hand a PH3SE and a PH5 to compare with the PH6. It's a very well done review.I have both a PH3 and a PH3SE and both are superb. I agree that tube selection is pretty i...

You could try to dampen the wall behind the speakers and the side walls. You could also get a 2ohm or even a 3ohm resistor and try that, but normally dipoles need some type of acoustic treatment. 
2ce sig ii tilt and listening height
The only answer is what sounds better to you? Almost all systems will shift the image and soundstage as you move up and down and side to side. Find the sound you're looking for and "listen to the music".

Your best chair you listen to your gear
If you have the bucks, Ekornes Stressless Chairs are probably one of the best. Very comfortable and cool looks.BTW, I've seen Theo play his "air" instruments...it isn't pretty. 
Classic records reissue - very disappointing
I agree with Schipo. I own a lot of the Classic stuff from very early on to the final end. Some of the best are the 45RPM boxsets on Clarity Vinyl that came out right before their demise.I do have a few that are pretty weak, but overall, I've been... 
Anybody in Denver go to Audio Unlimited yesterday?
John Barnes, the owner of Audio Unlimited, past away a couple of weeks ago. His wife decided to close the business that was run out of their house. He was pretty prominent in the Denver audio scene and with RMAF.
