Warning for Revel lovers
Sorry for the awful experience. Somewhat related. I also had a Samsung fridge with an ice maker that was pretty useless. My older Lexus has the "upgraded" ML sound system. To say it sucks would be a compliment. Because of it, I would never consi... 
Cullen Cable
Lowrider...good to hear. I looked on the wyred site and there was no mention of his stuff.  
Tekton Design - New IRL Technology - Lifelike, Real, Immersive
IRL is a technology that could be the end of two-channel audio as we know it Haven't their speakers done enough damage?  
Magnepan and Bob Carver Raven amps
There is 1 db difference in efficiency between the 1.6 and the 3.5. Inconsequential.

I ran Maggies VERY well with 100 tube watts.  
New speaker cables
Believe me....Lowe's zip cord blows away the Home Depot stuff.  
Cable question
So I changed to coax. I can't swear I hear a difference. But I also can't swear I don't. But it seems to be preferred so, for a pretty small investment, I'm good with it. My system just sounds really great. Next is messing with room correction.  
Sub questions
Agree. Esp when the 2nd one arrives. Already getting ideas for positioning. But yah I think I will change this one to front and see what happens. I sure wish I hadn't sold my Gallos.   
An electrical engineer on how power cables can impact sound quality
I recently "upgraded" the power cable on my cd player. The difference? I now have less money.  
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
Well if you ''don't want to read'' no wonder you missed Raul's post about Sonus. If Sonus was better he would not  proclaim ADC 26 as the best. There is obviously  no such thing which is even better than the best. Thanks. I'm dumber for havin... 
Check this system out!
So it looks like it won't sound good. Got it. ...audiophiles.....  
ADC 26 BEST PRITCHARD CARTRIDGE EVER? or BEST CARTRIDGE EVER?
I don’t want to read through all this. Did anyone even MENTION Sonus, which was superior even to the GREAT ADCs?  
Check this system out!
The taxes and insurance on these are through the roof as are utilities.  Trust me...it's not just the mansions.  
Maggie 1.7i's lack detail. Ideas?
Invariably, you’ll encounter some who will claim that Maggies are as detailed as any speaker when powered properly. I’d question the experience level of those who postulate such. My bet is they haven’t heard a good beryllium dome or a RAAL tweete... 
Tube Amps, Magnapans and Impedance
That might be true but Magnepan will not share much information so many have found the answers on their own. I guess that explains why there is SO much nonsense online about them.
