I feel bad for speaker manufacturers
The original DCM Time Window was my very first "high-end" speaker. Sold my JBL L100 Century’s to get them. Traded the DCM’s back about 9 months later for Magnepan IIA’s and have never owned anything for my reference system since that wasn’t some s... 
A Ghost in the System? Music Thru Speakers with Preamp Disconnected
Were you hearing the same music that was on the DAC?  If not, probably RF interference from a local radio station. 
False Advertising

Are the XA 60.8s the best of the Pass amps?
I prefer the .5 series. +1 IMHO, the XA30.5 was the gem, it just wasn’t enough power for my speakers. Haven’t heard the new XA25, but I bet it’s killer...with the right speaks.

6h30 tubes dampers to replace Audio Research ones
I have a small drawer full of tube dampers and have pretty much tried them all.My favorite is the EAT Cool Damper.  Unfortunately, they are big enough, (and kinda expensive) that the use in some gear is limited.  The ones I use the most are the He... 
Should I expect a discount from dealer for buying and installing complete system
As a former dealer for many years and selling most of what was listed above, I would have given a 12%-15% discount off of the gear, (except for the TV), but the labor would not be discounted.Without seeing the install myself, not sure if $3000 is ...
