 +1 maplegrovethere is no good technical explanation. If it works for you and you hear a difference after 150 hours then go for it and enjoy. 
Speakers for Bryston
@wendymgraham Your setup sounds amazing - any pics?+1 on Bryston ++1 on PMC I am a fan of the PMC design - well built dome mids are sublime. Internally Damped driver cones (pulp/paper, doped fabric) are incredibly revealing and have a timbre that ... 
How do I power my 800D(3)s
@bo1972 thanks for the link - very interesting - measurements look extremely good. I see that Monitor have a patent on a damping nylon ring that fits between the voice coil and driver. Similar purposes no doubt to accuton rubber dots on their driv... 
Heat/Efficency of Speakers
@cleeds  You might want to check your reading comprehension while I am checking my math! If 99% of energy is lost as heat as I stated then this makes a speaker very inefficient - a mere 1% being converted to acoustic energy - exactly what you conc... 
Heat/Efficency of Speakers
Speakers typically churn out between 99% and 90% of energy as heat. Horns are the most efficient at 90% of power ending up as heat. 
What are the smallest speakers that are clean and flat down to 20hz?
Triton 2 at 48 inch tall is getting rather large for a "small speaker". I am sure most here could list hundreds of full range speakers of that size.

Filter tweak for digital backwash?
Try another mains filter between your PC and the regulated power supply. Monster make some good ones less than $200. Also try to find out which device is picking up the backwash - is it the DAC or preamp? (Add the extra filter in be tween regulato... 
What speaker cables can complete with Audience 24e or 24e SE for less $$
If you have good equipment and good synergy then this should not be a matter of critical concern. Any decent 16 gauge braided copper wire should do for a short 6 feet.Frankly, there is no technology in speaker wire relative to all the technology i... 
Killer Floor Standing Speakers under $4000 for Rock?
Your amp is a little under powered (not even rated at 4ohm) and using extreme high efficiency speakers usually risks compression and lack of balance  (sound dull) at higher levels. You might want to rethink your strategy for clean loud rock.  
Analog output for hifi
The LG OLED have only optical (digital) out and ARC return on one of the HDMI (digital and analog) inputs. Sorry but but you will need a DSP receiver or a DAC with optical in.You can select what the TV sends from the menu (multi-channel or stereo)
