Songs for Speaker Placement
This is a helpful diagnostic tool:  https://www.audiocheck.net/audiotests_ledr.php  The LEDR test is also available on some system set-up CDs, but-  the phase anomalies, present in some CDPs, can affect the results, as explained in this Stereophil... 
I admit it, I get skin orgasms.
HMMMM, Deep Ear? That would also explain the predilection of some, for phone sex. 
Best amp options between $2k-$4 to power Magnepan 1.7?
The Odyssey Stratos Monos, made right hear in Indianapolis, can be had brand new, in their, "Extreme" iteration, for a few hundred under your budget max. The stereo Stratos Extreme, for less than half that. Lots of options/price points, excellent ...

How are you hearing no difference?
@dohanian - My solution to the tube/transistor, strength/weakness point, is to actively bi-amp, with SS on the bottom. The results can be wonderful, if it’s done correctly. 
Personal vs. Market Values
Gustatory perception varies as much as aural acuity.   If YOU can't taste or hear it(whatever,"it" may be), there's little doubt, it wouldn't be of value TO YOU.

@glupson- Hard telling, what happened to the other two posts.  I deleted one I started, as I wanted to watch the video, in which the neutral prong was mistakenly referred to as the, "hot".   I hadn't, and wanted to be certain I understood what was...

"That’s a polarized device, but many common 15A receptacles aren’t polarized. They have the same width for both hot and neutral blades." AND- No ground. I’m trying to remember the last time I saw an audio component, that was manufactured without a...

I’m trying to understand the, " Because the receptacle he’s looking at is a 20A device. If he puts the wider blade on an otherwise 15A plug, it wouldn’t fit a common standard 15A receptacle." Every, "standard" 15A, grounded receptacle(or plug) I’v...

Outside of having tubed main amps, speaking more about what’s new inside my equipment and using a TL woofer system; that could be me. Well, I just converted from an Acoustat/Maggie/planar worshipper(1980 ’til now), to a Emerald Physics lover, also...

My Amp is Broken - Not Sure What to Do - Any Recommendations?
It was my experience, that William Z Johnson cared very much, about his customers and his corporation. On the other hand; I’ve no doubt Macintosh wishes the corporation(and the competition) never existed, though they now own it.
