Here's a link to some interesting research - Inaudible High-Frequency Sounds Affect Brain Activity: Hypersonic Effect - https://b01fe120-8355-4a65-8abc-c8b51b6192cc.filesusr.com/ugd/d25f4f_a07d2fffb4244c4aa3341eb3c12e1e3...I found it while looking...

millercarbon And I haven’t even had time to get them dialed in yet! I note their Max sensitivity (2.8V @ 1m) is 89dB, and the level control settings are 1: 74dB, 2: 79dB, 3: 83dB, 4: 85dB, 5: 87dB, 6: 89dB.My speakers have a sensitivity of 88dB,...

I don't know about Siamese cats, but I hate it when the smoke alarm goes off. 
Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!?
Ah the loudness wars.Don't ya just love it.Too much gain, too much compression, too much clipping, too much volume. Too much of everything!

Thanks millercarbon.John Hannant has indeed been most helpful.I'm not sure I'd ever consider going out of phase or bouncing off rear walls. Still to each his own.As for hp, anything that does 0-60 in 6 seconds is fast enough. AWD is far better tha... 
How to design a high end crossover…
Simple, don't even bother with a XO at the speakers. Instead do the crossover at pre amp level and have separate amps for every driver. 
Where do you put your money?
I realize this is a site that exists to sell equipment so the emphasis is on that but I am curious to know you better. I hope you're just talking about advertisements and not glowing comments designed to part you with your money.

Anyone have experience with a multi channel home theatre system? Is a pair on the main speakers going to help all speakers? I remember reading a comment that read Just put them on all speakers! Although I'm not sure that's the best approach.It wou...

Are Townshend Maximum Supertweeters the best add on option? Are there others that are almost as good or dare I say even better? 
What is the most important component to consider while building a new system?
I give up. You guys are right. The Tekton Moab is the single most important component. I see they are offering an upgrade package for $300.00: Mundorf or ClarityCap (depending upon real-time availability) within the tweeter section and an oversi...

if you consult Mr. McGowan he will reassure you he is correct. Naturally, he would say that, but who can say... 
Speaker placement
I've come to conclusion Audyssey sounds best when it is never used above 500Hz as it can cause ringing. Perhaps why there is a 2kHz dip by default. 
Best sub for music,
A good sub for music is one that can handle whatever HT throws at it.If it can't handle cinematic effects it's never going to be able to cope with all types of music.

millercarbon OPjay mark, Good to hear. Thanks Now I'm wondering if there is much difference between brands?You mentioned the improvement with CDs is exceptional. Since CDs cutoff at 20kHz, I'm wondering what is being emitted? Are they creating h... 
I’m also worried about how much of the harmonics in the music is LOST by the amp?
A 20Hz to 20KHz bandwidth system is an absolute necessity. Just because it provides a full bandwidth doesn't mean there the finer detail and harmonics are being lost, which I believe is the question.The best approach is to treat your equipment i...
