Speaker db rating?
Groundhog- Read this before you get too confused between amplifier output power, SPL and perceived loudness levels: (http://www.audioholics.com/education/frequently-asked-questions/relationship-between-watts-and-dbs) You'll notice that it actually... 
Slate vs Granite vs Maple?
Research "Corian" It's completely non-resonant in the audio/audible bandpass. It's available in a bunch of thicknesses and colors: (http://www2.dupont.com/Surfaces/en_US/products/corian/corian_use_gallery.html) 
bi-wire cables on single binding post, sonic loss?
You shouldn't have any problem/audible degradation at all, as long as you can assure a snug connection at the post(that won't loosen). Personally- I'd mate the separated conductors back into one spade or banana(WBT) on the speaker end.

That's music to my ears!! 
Acme silver fuses
Most of why cables/interconnects/capacitors/etc have to "burn-in" is that their dielectric/insulator takes a charge after a time. Once that process has stabilized, they're "burned-in". Fuses have no dielectric, and should sound the same after 1hr ...

Hemihorn- That's a really cool tool. Thanx for posting it!

Mr. C- A few threads ago Mr. E and I had some discourse concerning the integration of Behringer and Bose systems. We just sort of picked it back up for a moment in here. Sorry if we offended by hi-jacking your thread briefly. Mr. E- I've got nine ... 
Cables Are Crazy, what do you think?
Sounds like a little piece of heaven to me(Harley, Kimber and a musical wife). Better watch it with the G-string jokes though: You might get your A__ in a crack! HMMM- Wonder if my girl would sound any more musical, tied up with my KS-1130's?

LOL- I was thinking about RIAA EQ right after I sent that post(pretty sharp E, KUDOS). Nope, I've never tried the mic pre trick. Some EQ(like what goes on in a phono stage or in production) is an unavoidable evil. Curving venues was always a pain ...

By the way: A system that WILL reproduce a vocalist's breath and the resonance of their chest will also reproduce breath over the reed of a sax, or the texture of the bow rosin across the strings of a 1715 Klotz Bass AND the woody resonance of it'...

I just cut/pasted this from a thread Mrtennis started a while back in the "digital" forum: (i like a dull, veiled, laid,back, boring sound capable of putting me to sleep. i hate treble and i don't like detail. i like subtractive coloration to such...

Don't try to understand them Dave. I want to hear Diana's breath, and the resonance of her chest. My VK-D5(with 6 NOS Siemens CCa's, well isolated) delivers the goods. I wouldn't think of unloading it, except perhaps for a Linn CD-12, the right Le...

E: I knew I'd find your button! I never said, "will", only: "May" and "might". SO- You've been using analog EQ's in your home system too, huh? NOW I understand perfectly! Enjoy your sounds!

I Hope the info helps someone enjoy their music(whatever their personal tastes). Happy listening!

04rdking- Obviously the sound of your pipes has not affected your (or your girlfriend's) hearing. One of the nice things about Kimber's products is their consistency. As you step up in their product line, you'll find all the same great qualities(t...
