Aric Audio Super 2A3 SET
My budget limits me to Arics entry level equipment. However,the quality craftsmanship,and stunning sound quality,hardly makes anyone think”budget” when listening to Arics products.    The amp you purchased looks wonderful,and I’m sure sounds wonde... 
How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present

Group Challenge - Home lighting, who is in?
Blue LED’s under my acrylic TT platter and on the back of 2 of my subs. Does it make my system sound better? Not a snowballs chance. However,the geek in me loves it. 
An unusual problem
Turn your subwoofer off after 10pm. Headphones is another suggestion. This is one of the drawbacks of apartment living. On the flip side,I’m sure they’ll create noise that will disturb you as well. It just one of the many compromises in life.     ... 
Near field speaker setup
Near field listening,such as you have,eliminates room interaction. ( for the most part)  
The Orb......Metallic Spheres
I’m about 3 minutes into Metallic Spheres. I will definitely be listening to it in it’s entirety. Very cool!
