I sold my pair for 850.00. I constantly vacuumed the panels also.  
JL Audio F110 Fathom pops...
Considering it is a F110 I would think you are overdriving it. I have the F113 and have done it on one specific track on a Blu-ray movie that is torture test for just about any subwoofer. Edge of Tomorrow opening scene. Extreme low end. I also rem... 
Gryphon vs. D'Agostino
I am also curious as to what your findings will reveal. I wish I had had a dealer to demo Gryphon as I have heard good feedback about their products. 
Wilson Audio Haters
He is just rationalizing. Typical biased opinions. They bad mouth a product and refuse to admit they have never taken the time to listen to it. Not even once as it might change their extreme prejudices against that product. I know a few people tha... 
Who remembers the Dahlquist DQ-10's?
These stories have brought back wonderful memories of when I was "first bitten" with obtaining better sound reproduction at home. I owned Magneplanar MGIIB speakers and my friend had the DQ10’s. Some of the best care free times I have had! 
Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes?
Thanks for adding that. Some of the best recollections I have ever heard Wilson speakers has been with tubes. Brooks Berdan was a friend of mine and had me listen to the big X2 Wilsons on VTL monoblocks. The other system is OBGYN's system using al...

Thanks George. 
Is powerfull Amps only for low sensitivity speakes?
I am running Wilson Maxx 3 speakers (91db) using D'Agostino Progression monoblocks. Rated at 500 watts @ 8,1000 watts @4, and 2000 @ 2 ohms. I am very happy with the combo. I now understand what "headroom" actually is. The learning curve was quick... 
mono block or bi-amps which would you pick?
Another vote for monoblocks. I will never go back to stereo again. 
Full detailed sound at 30 - 40 - 50 dB
Are you a male or female? If the former I want to know how in the heck did YOU have a baby"? What did you dilate up to before delivery? I'm sure your wife or girlfriend is pleased to know that fact. Now regarding your question about low level list... 
I heard the new D'Agostino Progression 800w monoblocks last night
I am really enjoying the Progression monoblocks. They have revealed tiny little details in recordings I have listened to many times before and never heard. The Progression monoblocks are extremely powerful and to my ears are voiced similar to the ... 
Esoteric K-01 vs ARC CD 9
dgarretson, I ended up with a K-01X because of that reason. I will eventually stream in my system. Loving this player as I know you are also! 
Esoteric K-01 vs ARC CD 9
Jafreeman, Wishing you all of the best on your journey for a new unit.  
Esoteric K-01 vs ARC CD 9
Before I purchased my Esoteric K-01X I had borrowed the ARC CD9 to use for a few days. The CD9 replaced an Oppo BDP-105 so there were three different players I evaluated. I was then using the ARC Ref 5SE feeding Theta Prometheus monoblocks. The di... 
Hypex N core module
I will try and explain my experience. I was happy with my Theta Prometheus monoblocks. They are very good at bass frequencies along with a very wide soundstage. The upper end was smooth and non fatiguing. I had them when I was setup with a multich...
