Odd Revel Performa M20 Question ?
The only time the weight of a speaker became a buying decission for me is if they were too heavy. Wino might as well sell his M20s now. Every time he tries to enjoy music through them the sound will be a little light. Excuse me while I go dyno the... 
Best interconnect between pre-amp and CD player??
That's what I want, interconnects in their very own plastic bag. I think you should try Chord interconnects. That's who makes Naim's cables. It's smooth, detailed, open and rich. 
Odd Revel Performa M20 Question ?
Who cares how much they weigh? How do they sound? I never thought to weigh my speakers on the bathroom scale so I can compare my findings with the manufacturer's specs. Maybe we should all weigh our speakers on our bathroom scales and compare note... 
Easy fix for Pioneer PL-10...
The suspension has little bits of foam rubber inside of the springs for damping that has most likely deteriorated. Remove the dried out foam rubber and cut little pieces of new foam rubber and wind them into the springs. If you have not done this ... 
Odd Revel Performa M20 Question ?
If you received your M20s in two separate boxes this could account for the difference in actual weight vs published weight. When I received my M22s they came in two separate boxes that were inside of a very large box. The box was so big UPS asked ... 
Which song you would love to wake up to?
Sonny and Cher "I Got You Babe"

Determining exact power being sent to your speaker
Have you ever owned an amplifier with meters? Chances are you are using a lot less power than you think. 
Please Recommend a Low Gain Solid State Amp ARC
Since you have already made an attempt at lowering the gain of your SP-8 my guess is your source is where the real problem lies not the amp/preamp combination. If you are using a Theta with 7 volts output or some other digital source with high vol... 
Tubes with Martin logan summit X
Yes, a good quality tube amplifier with a minimum of 100 watts will drive the Summit X speakers very nicely. 
What next?
Lewinski, Joncourage already has plenty of room tratment. Didn't you see the picture with his dog? Room treatment is highly overrate. If you need to fill your room with room treatment there is something terribly wrong with your system. 
4 ohm or 8 ohm tap on old tube amps?
Hifitime, KT88's post sounds impressive, however, VTL and Manley Labs have always provided only one output on their amplifiers set at approximately 5.5 ohms for the best sound with the majority of speakers. 
Hafler DH200 sounds scratchy /static
Has the preamp been sitting around for years too? 
Upgrade CD player or get into LPs? Suggestions
Do you own several hundred records in perfect condition? Do you want to go from a quiet background to clicks and pops? Instead of buying a turntable look for an early ('85-'89) Magnavox CD player. Leave it on for several days and you will think yo...
