Does raising speaker cables off the floor really make a big difference?
I think that rather than wondering if it makes a sonic difference, we should all be doing it to keep dust bunnies away from our expensive cables. Before I used the homemade ones that I now use I would have dust collecting all over them. 
Cost effective Schumann Resonator
I took the plunge and bought two Chinese units from ebay a couple of days ago. They won't arrive until March. Curiosity finally got to me.

Rogue? 
Wide baffle speakers are better than narrow
Some of my favorite speakers have had wide baffles. Spendor SP100 comes to mind.

Krell Evolution 400e’s or 600e’s in Black for Sale?

Klipschorn vs Jbl 4435
Different, but both very good speakers. The JBL are a bit less idiosyncratic and dynamic, probably easier to live with, but I love both.

Not funny.

It doesn't make a big difference in my system, but it does make a small positive difference, and besides that, you protect your expensive cables from dust bunnies. 
Affordable cables
The least expensive Kimber you can afford should do well I would say.  
Had anybody listened to JTR speakers?
I have been wanting to hear them for 3 years. They look like a better version of the speakers I use every day. Not cheap, but there is a lot of material value. I don't thinkthe y  are just a rock speaker. I'll bet that they're good for everything. 
The midi range, not the tweeter, is the most important driver in a speaker.
What can I say Erik, you are absolutely correct!   
Anyone dealt wth AudioLab of Fairless Hills, PA before?
That is the store where I bought my first Celestion speakers. It was many years ago, but it was a good store then. Glad to hear they're still in business.

You need to place a "wanted to buy" ad in the classified section...and your portrait is sideways. 
Mattresses, not stereos is where the money is
You can bet that there's good margin in it if Macy's (those whores) are in on it, even in the face of multiple hi profile competitors.Full disclosure: I'm a bitter former employee.
