Can a small speaker sound really really good?
Put them on YouTube. I know it is not the same as live...but listeners can get a good idea of how they perform. It would be better than no feedback. 
Help, my system sounds lifeless!
Have you moved yet? Just kidding! Did you get to the NY show?

Bdp24, Lovely description of the Decca sound. I love mine for all the reasons you mentioned. I met Max in London when he had just released the first Rock. He played Pinl Floyd The Wall and I barely recognosed it - the bass was unreal...utterly fas... 
Why pay so much?
Trolling aside, does the OP not have a point though? Some cables are ridiculously priced.

Is it a OK to leave tube pre-amps powede up 24/7
I have seen a few tubes go out with a bang but never explode.My TVA-1 used to destroy Mullard Osram KT88s - plate red hot and some sparks then a fizzle and a pop from the speakers! 
Wharfdale's Denton Anniverary spker Any 3 way speaker of similar sound quality?? .
Please don't waste your money on expensive cables to tune your sound. (Use something like Neotech UP-OCC copper/teflon speaker wire.)A nice pair of used Spendors or Epos etc will be great.
