Tekton Double Impacts
The DIs will be much less demanding of amplification. Which is the best I can’t say other than the Revels I’ve heard are “dry”.   
Seeking Bookshelf Recommendations
There’s a pair of reference 3a reflectors on “the other audio site”. I’ve heard this guys pair and they are real real good and they are built like bomb shelters. I would snatch them up if I didn’t just buy speakers. Price is good as well.

Just paid for a Jolida 1000RC integrated that I’m picking up after my Vegas trip late next week. Local and good price. Really liked the couple Jolida pieces I’ve had in the past so we shall see. Much less than I was planning to spend. For the pric...

Yeah I don’t always listen loud but need mid nineties db effortlessly.

Well I’m not great at describing this stuff but here goes….  Big texture and tone. snappy snare drums and punchy bass, especially mid bass.    Realistic vocals on the deeper/darker side.    Good Prat to keep up with fast music.    Highs that...

Buying Used Speakers
Pretty much every speaker besides a few when I was in my teens early 20s were bought used. Out of 20+ shipments received and shipped I’ve not had a single issue. I always buy the insurance also. If money was no object yeah I’d buy new, why not. if... 
Some thoughts on ASR and the reviews
ASR thinks $300 class D amps outclass 5k Pass and the like purely based on measurements. In reality it’s far from the reality unless you’re deaf!

That’s good to hear. If I go ss that’s the main one I’m looking at.   
Speakers replace or improve?
Musical Fidelity has great used prices for some reason. I had an A1008 which was originally a 6k integrated back in 2009ish. Great amp with tons of power. Even the dac and phono were more than descent. Those pop up for low 1000s. I thought I was g... 
Heavy speakers: How to be able to reposition?
+2 for Herbies gliders. Used them on some 150lb speakers and very easy to move around.   
Speakers, speaker cables or I’m getting old…
Could be the speakers for that kind of music. I had some Dynaudio Contour 20s and they didn’t like rock/metal much. New cables may help a little but I wouldn’t expect a full transformation. I just sold Acoustic Zen Hologram 2. They didn’t play the...

Handling Heavy Amps
I recently sold a Krell KSA200S which I carried up the stairs from my basement. This thing has super sharp cooling fins on both sides and really SUCKs to move and weighs way over a 100lbs. Anyway after 30 seconds of being out of breath after getti...
