Music for setting up speakers
@murphythecat -       So many keystrokes and still no explanation, as to how your microphone, with your mentioned Pink and White Noise, detects/measures accurate sound staging and image placement.        Sabine reflections can/will be measured i... 
Music for setting up speakers
@murphythecat -              AGAIN: what, exactly, are you measuring; to obtain information, regarding ambience recovery (recorded sound space width, depth and height) and accurate voice placement (whether instrument or vocal)?           What are ...

         To quote Bobby Owsinksi from his book:  The Mastering Engineer's Handbook, 4th Edition:"The LEDR test is a substitute for about $30,000 to $40,000 worth of test equipment.Stereophile also has an article about it, written in 1989 (!) by B...

"...I would go with the G9000 because of the additional power & juice."                                                      +1  
Problem with Bryston 4B SST.
     All you'd have to do is take your eyes off the amp, for a couple seconds,  after switching it on.      Dementia's my story.     You're probably too young for that crap!

@trent77-                         "Take the Focals and enjoy!"  +1     Back in the day: Sansui did many more things correctly (regarding sound quality), than almost all of the Mid-FI stuff out there, outside of *somewhat harsh highs.      Take t... 
Problem with Bryston 4B SST.
@newebie1963-     As luxman said: normal     ie: Look at Page 2, number 2, under ’LED Indicators’ and then, immediately below: ’Power up sequence’, in the manual:                    http://old.bryston.com/PDF/Manuals/3B_4BSST_MANUAL.pdf

@trent77-        If that's true, regarding the caps; the G-9000 and Focals should light up your life, if: (as Russ mentioned) you're not REAL picky!                              Especially: if the price is right.

      ps: Given the Aria 936's sensitivity of 92dB/2.83V/1M: driving them with the 881's 60 Watts, at your described levels, in that size room, would be easy.      With the G-9000's 160 Watts, you could drive them crazy, as well as any neighbors! ...

     "I dont play music loudly at all and not for long periods."                                                    Based on that statement: don't sweat it!      Most SS amplifiers don't have a problem with lower impedances, but will increase ou... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@djones (et al)-         ps:  Would you scoff, were I to tell you that certain birds actually navigate their migratory routes from Scandinavia to Africa and back, every year, via receptors in their eyes, that detect the Earth's (very weak) magne... 
What do we hear when we change the direction of a wire?
@djones-     "If these new models don't agree with your preconceptions and biases you'll dismiss them as well."     Do you mean: the way the scientifically uninformed, "dismiss" and scoff at such established truths as Quantum Entanglement; as th... 
Music for setting up speakers
                       "Maybe music where instruments are easily located, etc."      The OP is clearly interested in accurate sound staging and imaging, as (at least) one goal of their set-up (considered two, by some).      While one can use tes... 
testing a crossover
@likkelgerry-       "30 years of Hifi, i dont think one meal will cover that....you know how we get!!"        Exactly why I'm single, again (well: one of a FEW reasons, anyway)! 
Music for setting up speakers
     Whenever speaker set-up, imaging or soundstage are mentioned, I like to remind people about these resources: The following provide tests, with which one may determine whether their system actually images, or reproduces a soundstage, as reco...
