Best place to buy Mcintosh Integrated Amp
If you can find a dealer that has a display unit that's within a couple months of being put on display I can't think of another way to get a discount on Mac products.  
Am I wasting money on the theory of Bi-amping?
I had A pair of speakers that responded well to a krell kav300il on top but needed more juice for the bass. In that case horizontal biamp made sense. Starting from scratch I think I’m getting great sound with a pair of matching monoblocks 1 per ch... 
Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room?
You're not dumb, at least not in this regard as speaker room interactions are quite common and placement can make massive differences in sound.  
Five feet from the front wall
It seems like you guys are leaving out some of the equation? speaker ported, front or rear, speaker depth regarding first reflection and room boundaries. I have a pair of Meridian DSP speakers with an option to time align the bass, their blurb sta... 
Best set-up under $20K
I have a  hegel H360, very nice but I wanted to upgrade the dac after the h30 came out with full MQA decoding so bought a project pre box s2 digital. I have no doubt there's better, but it's cheap and has a low power version of the latest sabre ch... 
Dynaudio Contour 60 too much for 14x13x11 room?
My room had bass dropouts regardless of placement until I went with speakers with side firing woofers. I don't understand how or why it would matter and I was also trying different amps so the reason could have been low impedance suckouts, but if ... 
Best set-up under $20K
used Meridian dsp8000se for a big room.   
Borresen X3
Lars knows how to make a show impressive, I’m not an end all measurement freak, but look at how their speakers measure and then consider what kind of music those speakers will take to the next level and what types of music will fall flat? When I r...

KEF LS50 Wireless II vs. Harbeth P3esr
I liked panzrwagn's post explaining what's happening. It's really as simple as that.  
Vienna Acoustics 'The Music'
USAM has a free listing options with affordable listing upgrades, they don't have the rep ag does yet, but we could communicate there  
Speaker recommendations :-)
I've been through several of the $20-30k speakers the last 7 years and its fair to say I didn't devote money to components for each pair I tried, they eithe worked or didn't work with my hegel h360 or later h590. That out of the way there's some s... 
Perlisten S5t
It’s funny to me to hear people boycott imported products because it’s usually the party that got rid of all the import tariffs that kept American manufacturing price competitive that are doing the loudest whining. We are in a global market and ev... 
Amps to match kef blade2
I don't know where you're located, but if anywhere in the chicagoland area I could let you try the H 590 with your blades. I broke down and went with Mac Mc611's and a c49 so my h590 is not in use.  
Midrange Increasingly Harsh
That you changed speaker wires to the 4 ohm taps on your amp b4 replacing the tubes and heard a slight improvement does show component issue between speakers and amp and replacing the tubes should return the sound to what you're used to. ferroflui...
