$20 XLR cables that sound good
You have just experienced what I have spent thousands in the past 30 some odd years to learn: there is no need to spend thousands on cable to get great sound. Absolutely. If anyone is experiencing challenges and huge differences then (after check... 
Audio Consulting on fire at Munich High-End Show
Hardly surprsing. You would be amazed at how much bespoke stuff from small companies does not even have a UL testing. Sure it is just a hobby but it is still no joke when the house burns down. 
Speaker Ideas upto $2500
Zu Druids are not a good idea. You can drive something fairly inefficient with that amp. Since you are moving and planning on a sub then get some small monitors that do not try to plumb the depths. Totem, Dynaudio, GMA, ATC, Harbeth or B&W mig... 
Compact 7ES-3
Yes, IMHO. 
Blondie Parallel Lines DCC Gold Disc
Of course, I might add that Deb Harry definitely has what one would call the undefinable undescribable elusive "It factor"...

I still remember seeing Heart of Glassfor the first time...amazing what a disco beat and great video production can do to transform a relatively unknown reggae song into an int'l (UK and US) #1 Hit.

The Alan Parson's Project
If you like I Robot then you must get Jean Michel Jarre Oxygen - similar synth extravaganza type stuff. Turn the lights and enjoy :-) 
Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker
Try Maceo Parker Advanced Funk from School's In and see which you prefer. This CD is lush sounding and smooth but at thee same time very dynamic and revealing. Great cornet solo and awesome B3 and with Jamal Thomas on drums it is real tight. Kind ... 
Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker
I guess Garbage must have sounded bad with your ultra-revealing ATC actives. Yes - it sounds best in the car or not cranked too loudly (like Red Hot Chilli's Arctic Monkeys and other compressed modern music) - I do like Shirley Manson though! Gre... 
Review: Harbeth Super HL-5 Speaker
Wow! If you can make Garbage sound really good and not harsh then you must have a very forgiving preamp that would not resolve the heavy clipping. I like the band but the sound is bad, IMHO.Here is a quote from Rolling Stone: "Compression is a nec...

Try Alton Everest or John Sayers.
