Advise on selling Pathos Classic One MK III
The answer is pretty obvious, post the ad on Audiogon and sell it. 
Denon to Parasound
All Odyssey amps double their power as the impedence drops. I would say it’s at least 200wpc. Depending on what options you get in your Khartago will determine the power output. The guy that designs Magico Speakers uses a Khartago in his lab, yes ... 
Questions About Bulk Power Cable, Sugestions Needed
Well, you guys sold me.  I am ordering the DH Labs Power Plus tomorrow.  You guys saved me over 8.00 per foot as well.  My electrician friend says this is way overkill for a 15 amp circuit especially since there will be at most, a 8 amp draw on th... 
How to best ship big & heavy speakers internationally?
Both UPS and FedEx Freight do international. 
Denon to Parasound
Remember, Odyssey is made entirely in the USA.  Not sure about that Parasound.  I know most of their stuff used to be made in China, not sure if they still are.  At any rate, the Odyssey Khartago amp is the better amp by far.

Got it, was a joke.  Good one.

I do not get what you are driving at.  My wife is extremely happy and she is the one who INSISTED that I buy the speakers.  My wife got a brand new 2016 Hyundai Sonata loaded to replace the 2012 that she had.  Also in December, we had BathFitters ... 
Speakers that are very accurate sounding but don't produce an emotional connection.
SunnyJim...................I remember the Rectilinear 3 and 3A.  I owned a pair of the original 3 speakers and kick myself for ever selling them.  I had them for 10 years, then tried the latest and greatest from another manufacturer and got on the...

Mrs. Claus got a new car in December plus many other gifts today. 
Speaker help under $2,500
I do not think the speakers your wife bought you is anything to be sad about.  I am sure you will like them and that they will sound great.  Most audiophiles/music lovers should be so lucky.  You can always grab a pair of Vandersteen 3A sig 1 or 2...

Right now I am listening to Johnny Winter, "Scorchin' Blues" and the sound is the best I have heard in this room yet.  Its playing on a Sony HAPZ1ES Music Player into a Rogue Cronus Magnum and out to the Triton 2.   Merry Christmas all.

Thank you all for the well wishes.  This particular store has been in business in the same location since 1977 and also has another more recent store on Commonwealth Ave in Boston.  I personally know the owner of the store as he went to Bishop Fee...

The dealer is Audio Concepts in North Attleboro, Mass.   They do not work on commission there, but they get paid an excellent salary. 
Oversampling Setting On Sony HAP-Z1ES HDD Player
The Esoteric is the best sounding cd player I have ever heard.  Redbook sounds quite special.  I believe it is due to the Burr-Brown PCM1704 dac which is the last r to r ladder dac they manufactured.  There is a big ease to the music, it just flow... 
8 Ohm Output into 4 Ohm Speakers
My speakers are rated at 6 ohms.  I first tried the 8 ohm setting on the Cronus Magnum for a few months, then switched to the 4 ohm setting for a month and when I switched back to the 8 ohm setting again, I felt that gave me the best sound.  You w...
