Speaker suggestion for McCormack DNA 225 DLX
When I had confusion with soundstaging, a friend told me that my speaker wires were out of phase. He was right, this may be something to look at. 
Replacing speaker drivers...Improvements?
Not sure if the original drivers in your system were matched, but a lot of manufacturers match the drivers that go into a pair of speakers. If you do replace, it would be worth the extra money to buy from a place that can match them for you. 
hifi as investment?

Why Put Up With "Wife Approval Factor"?
Tubemiser, You have a very unjealous wife. My wife won't listen to my system, she likes her pioneer much better. There was one moment when I begged her to sit and listen to how real a voice could sound...I saw the awe in her face for a split secon... 
Help, new amp causing "buzzing" in speakers
