Bookshelf/Small Speakers
Everyone will probably recommend what they have. I do it too sometimes. Listen to as many as you can. Try to find the”sound” you’re after. If you are purchasing new,many online companies have at home test drives.  This way there are no surprises.

I really wish I could not hear a difference. It would definitely make life easier. How about if all food tasted the same? $50 cut of filet? Nope,it's ground possum for me!  
Class A amplifiers
That is a giant load of dog doo.  I have 4 class A amps in house. Two First Watt amps, and a pair of Monarchy Audio SM70mkII's (I run these as mono blocks)  The FW J2 is the newest,built in 2017. I am the second owner of FW F5,that I've had for at... 
New Speakers $10K -$20K
When I hear someone looking for beautiful cabinetry,and great speakers,it’s probably not to long before someone recommends Salk. I am not familiar with their models,but they are liked by many. I also love the look of their speakers as well.

What is the sound level of Your Listening Room?

Front speaker placement, trying wider placement.
Putting speakers in corners is not for me. However,if it works for you,then set them up wherever they sound best to YOUR ears. You are going to have to trust your senses no matter what us keyboard jockeys say. Who am I to question what you hear?

Stratospheric audio gear prices
Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay. I guess that some folks are willing to pay for such products. I certainly can’t. That however,isn’t my decision how someone else spends their money.  
Ignored Offers
I just had that happen to me on epay.  I made an offer,at least expecting a counter offer,nope,just crickets. The item was listed with buy it now,and make offer. I also don’t feel that my offer was insulting. The real funny thing was earlier that ... 
Using 2 different brands of interconnects?
As with most things in life, I believe in getting the best that I can afford. Most folks don't have unlimited budgets. If someone can only afford $100 set of cables,that's the budget. There are plenty of choices in that range. My personal opinion,...
