Speakers for Gryphon Diablo 120
Klipsch and Focal are crappy speakers?? lol.    Focals are amazing especially the further up the chain you get. Klipsch as well although the ceiling is lower for me. Never heard a Jubilee.   
Pass labs krell parasound amps
Curious why you think you need 250-300 watts? Your speakers are 90db efficiency.  I would think a high current 100watt amp would be more than you would ever need.   
Pass labs krell parasound amps
Coming recently from a Benchmark AHB2 with the same speakers that did that “screech” very often.   
Pass labs krell parasound amps
I’ve had Parasound A21, Krell 250s, and now have a Pass XA30.5. Different speakers for all 3 so grain of salt. The 30.5 is the most satisfying amp I’ve owned. Krell and Parasound were both also really good but the Pass is just so liquid but still ... 
Using biwired cables on speakers with only 2 connections
If it made an audible difference and probably doesn't, it would still drive me nuts having the 2 ends flopping in the breeze. I would do what do what @audphile1 suggested and get the banana to spade adaptors. Also you won't need to cut up your goo... 
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
Let me guess Dave, you no longer sell KEF, Paradigm, or Goldenear?   
New Speakers under consideration - but I’m afraid
Well a 15k speaker today there 15 yo equivalent would be about 4k back then. Better is subjective for sure and you would need to listen. I had BW Matrix 801 vii for a while. With a monster amp pushing them they were just as good as most today. I’m... 
Integrated amp for 2500-3000
I had a Lyngdorf integrated with my DX9 for a while. It’s got amazing room correction and did wonders for those Vegas. Could probably find a used 2170 for well under 3k or even a new 1120 although I’ve never heard it. Those old Vegas despite being... 
Solid State preamp Brands
IMO I wouldn’t use a digital preamp unless you want to also use the included dac or you want to use room correction if it has that.   
Integrated Tube Amp approx. $2,500
+1 on the Octave 40SE.

I've been very impressed with the Naim preamp I picked up. Much better than the tube pre I was using before and dead quiet.   
Speaker Suggestions for Next Move
When I got my Cornwalls they were completely lined inside with No Rez from GR Research. I removed the No Rez from 1 speaker and compared to the other one. I much preferred the non No Rezzed cabinet. The No Rez sucked the life and mid bass out of t... 
Speaker Suggestions for Next Move
I had the Cornwall IV for some months last year. They did some things very well and were always a fun listen. I had to have them pretty close to the walls to get what I’d call respectable bass out of them.    I picked up a pair of Paradigm Founde... 
Speakers low pitch humming, is it normal, or real issue with preamp?
If you can only hear it from a few inches away I wouldn’t worry about it. The only setup I ever had that was Completely silent was a Lyngdorf integrated. If you sit in the quiet room and really listen and can hear something then that’s a different... 
Looking to upgrade my Goldenear Triton ones. Need help
@avanti1960 , there is a certain level of adjustability in Arc after you run it. I put a small extra bump at 80hz. That’s as far as I went with it. Not sure the full capabilities.
