Tannoy Speakers & Bi-wiring
Red I bet you would hear even a bigger improvement with the Zero-Autotransformer used with the Atmasphere amps. I know I did using my M60's with some Acoustic Zen Crescendos. (Dealer dislaimer) 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
My Crescendos are 8 feet out into the room and 8 feet apart (measured from the inside of each speaker) and I sit 9 feet in front. I actually like sitting closer you get better depth and feel more part of the music. 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
So I'm approaching the 250 hr mark on my Crescendos and they are finally starting to "relax". I thought they were going to be to hi-fi sounding as I find most multi-driver cone speakers sound IMHO. For over 12 yeas now I've been a no crossover des...

Ejaynycrrcom I use the Crescendo's in a 16 x 28 x 10.5 room and they are about 8 feet out into the room and they easily pressurize the room, and they are not anywhere broken-in yet!(Dealer disclaimer) 
Acoustic Zen Crescendo
Thanks for the replies. Given that my mono-blocks use a total of 24 tubes I only have them on for 6-8 hrs a day, I don't even have 75 hrs total. Today a good friend brought over a ss amp/tuner that I can leave on 24/7, maybe in another 4-6 weeks I...

So how many hours of break-in do they require? Do you toe-in or point straight ahead? (I have mine pointing about at my ears) I'm currently using an Atmasphere M60 OTL.(Dealer disclaimer)

Got my own Crescendos a few weeks ago to replace some Ocellia speakers. They have better top end, better imaging, better bass than the Ocellias and they are not even 1/4 broken in yet. So far very happy.(Dealer disclaimer) 
FMS Audio Cables
I had a pr of FMS gold speaker cable and power cords and loved them but they just were to stiff! This was many, many years ago, have they changed their flexibility?(Dealer disclaimer) 
Ocellia Reference vs. Kondo KSL-SPz
We could since we have sold both. The Ocellia is light weight and we have told every customer you need a shot-gun config to sound OK, it is fast and airy but again has no weight. The Kondo is airy and transparent but has no body, we sold very litt... 
Amplifier, less than 10 Watts, for PHY speakers
I use an S30 Atmasphere OTL with my Ocellia PHY speakers and it beat out my $50,000 Kondo 2A3 Souga amp...nothing but pure delight.(Dealer disclaimer) 
Power cords?
Bo1972.....I must agree about PAD power cables they are wonderful BUT you should try and have a listen to the Pranawire Satori PC, it's in another universe. (Dealer disclaimer) 
TTW MOMENTUS MOMENTUS "The MONSTER" Rim Drive
There has been more than one dissatisfied customer of TTW, mostly based on lack of speed accuracy. 
room makes or breaks
I tell every customer that "Your room is more than 50% of your sound!"(Dealer disclaimer) 
Power Cables diminishing returns
IMHO power cables can make or break a system, more than a SC or IC. If I had unlimited funds my entire system would be powered by Pranawire Satori cords, I've heard no better.(Dealer disclaimer) 
Wet speaker cables
I'd send PAD an e-mail (or call them) and ask their thoughts they should be the experts. BTW it's the same speaker cable I use and love them!(Dealer disclaimer)
