How narrow is your room? That will make a big difference.  
Focal 836w vs Aria line
    For anyone else wondering about the older 800w series vs the Aria I can give some insight after a few weeks. The Arias I had liked to be set wide apart. They filled the room very well even being the 906 monitor. In comparison the Chorus 836w l... 
Amplifier for Cornwall IV
Wow lordrootman,I am very surprised the new Cornwalls are that close to your old Epics and KLFs. I thought they would be much smoother and easier to listen to from everything I've read. I had modified Chorus 2s for a while and they did some things... 
Amplifier for Cornwall IV
One thing about Parasound is they all have gain control I believe. This would totally negate the "getting loud too fast"..... I think 
merits of allocating $ to 2.o channel vs 5.1
So what’s more important to you? What are you going to spend more time listening to? Movies or music? If it’s mainly movies I say go surround sound. 2 channel movies still sound good but will be no where near as immersive IMO. On the other hand if... 
Can a european amp version 240 be changed to us 120?
The answer is sometimes.. is it a switch inside the unit? Likely not in most cases. Takes some re wiring IME, I have tried with several pieces. Ended up just getting a transformer.  
Hegel H390, Lyngdorf TDAI 3400, or Naim Nova for my B&W 802D2 speakers?
I had the 2170 and found the same thing. It was amazing with some Tektons. The best amp out of many by far. It ran out of juice quickly on some Dynaudio Contours. I thought the much more powerful 3400 would have no problems driving some more diffi... 
Tweeter for paradigm studio 60 v2
they are all voiced matched in the series. I would be very very surprised if the center channel tweeter was at all any different. More risky going with different series tweeter as the crossover is likely different.  
REL vs JL AUDIO
My JL crapped out. Been meaning to send in the amp to fix for $400 but haven’t gotten around to it. I hear it was a round of bad caps in the 1st couple years models.  
About Triton 2+ and 3+
Audiogon, usaudiomart, Craigslist, eBay. 2+ would be better.  
Demos - To Charge a Fee or to Not Charge a Fee?
If a dealer is willing to go 20+% off list I will consider buying from them. Most of the time they do IME. I would likely pay a fee to hear something I was really interested in so I would feel like a dick if I bought it used or elsewhere for a muc... 
Tube Amp recommendations to drive Klipsch Forte III
You didn’t mention that I saw what you want to spend? Cayin stuff is great for the money and sounded good on multiple speakers I had including Klipsch.  
High end high quality int. amp for low level listening
If he’s listening at 60db what’s the point in going monoblocks. I agree either EQ or much more sensitive speakers may be more to your liking at those low volumes.
