Advice on Integrated Receiver
Question.    You are asking about an integrated receiver? Do you want a receiver, or an integrated amp?  
Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?
I’ve said it before.    The kenidjit is cheapening this forum. A forum that is meant for discussions about high end audio, bettering the sound of your system and then there is the sales part of the forum, which is also about the sale of high end ... 
Perception and Watts: Doubling of power
Couple of things come to mind.    When you buy an amp w twice the rated power, the power supply in that amp is generally much bigger than in the smaller one.    As was mentioned in a post above, a bigger amp playing at the same volume as a small... 
Why are there so many wooden box speakers out there?
All the Kenidjit manages to do, is to cheapen Audiogon. Audiogon wants to be the premier place for high end audio discussion, and for the sale of used high end audio gear. Can you imagine if one of his threads, any one of the really, as they are... 
Klipsch Speakers
I have a pair of Cornwall II’s from 1977. Have driven them with both tube and ss. I don’t find them to be bright. And I can’t  stand bright speakers. Try another source?

Looking for some listener experience with the Cary SLP-30. Just bought one…
I’ve had a chance to spend some time with the Cary, and it is pretty much exactly what I expected/hoped for. Has a nice sense of air, transparency with dynamics that do not disappoint. Compared it with my Vintage Marantz 7T (which was fully rebuil... 
Sansui AU-717
@chocaholic    I would honestly go to DIYAudio or Audiokarma and reach out to the folks there for some thoughts on where to send it.   Understand the reluctance to ship, and you may get lucky and find someone near by. But, better to ship to so...

@decooney  Thanks! I realize patience is a virtue, but sadly, it’s one that eludes me :) But to your point, I should live w it for a while. It was, from what I gather, a daily user. So will be safe to plug in. It’s all original (based on photos o... 
Sansui AU-717
@atmasphere    Hi Ralph.   I fear you have given me credit/quoted me with something I didn’t say :)   I was arguing for the recap of the unit. Firm believer in the benefits of both replacing old/tired caps with fresh ones, but also taking adv... 
Question About Capacitor Upgrade in Tube Amp
Another quick thought, from personal experience.    If you are doing the work yourself, one part out, one part in. Take pictures of every section you are working on before you start and after you finish. Speaking from experience here. Didn’t do t...

THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ
@timlub    Im a minimalist for sure :) Building a speaker for a friend, that is specifically intended to go into a shelf in a Ikea kallax shelving unit. 335mm cube. Not fun… So, small sealed full range driver and the rest is for a band pass sub.... 
THE IMPORTANCE OF TIME DOMAIN RESPONSE MUST READ
@erik_squires    Sorry, should have been more clear :) When using the ARSXO, I am struggling to see what purpose a cap would have on the woofer, and how it would be implemented. In a more traditional Cap/Res/Ind series or parallel crossover, sur...
