Should I spike my Forte IIIs
Your room looks like a place to relax and forget audiophoolishness.To spike or not is a YMMV thing. Your setup appears more of a "gathering/sociaizing" layout.If it sounds good to you, then that's all that matters. The "E" ticket seat is obstr... 
Enigma
Wow! Haven't heard that name in awhile...Wasn't into them at the time, but clearly remember how popular they were with friends.Great stuff for  get together/ambient  music to enjoy, but not actually "listen" to. Another group comes to mind, but di...

Cleaning power with tweaks.
A dedicated line isn't mentioned in your post or suggested. It is arguably the first place to start.Cost effective too, compared to some audiophoolery we love to spend money on. 
To Couple or Decouple Bookshelf Speakers to Stands?
Why not try all 3 and let your ears tell you what's "right"? 
Should people who can't solder, build or test their speakers be considered audiophiles?
djones51-Macgyver has the ability to make audiophile level speakers with any surrounding natural materials in every  episode, before the commercial break.Please don't include Macgyver in audiophoolery, he's above this nonsense. 
Phasemation EA-200 phonostage - opinions
Another Japanese company I'm not familiar with. By the looks of the website, nice stuff. Their philosophy appears to be a purist approach. The 3 unit, tubed phonostage is hardcore. Something for the uberphile.I would be very concerned about US dea...
