Bryston or Mcintosh Amps?
McIntosh speakers should sound better through Mcintosh amps. Since they were designed with Mc amps, I think any thing else will miss the mark of the designers sound.I asked myself this question years ago and although the Bryston was a close second... 
My Woofer Sounds Like a Tweeter
Actually Dan is right but you can actually bypass the xover for a quick test. Just clip some jumpers on the input of the xover and jump directly to the woofer connections. As Dan states though, low volume. 
Speakers after Infinity Kappa 9
I had Kappa 7's for many years and went to Revel Performa F32's. I was looking for a different sound though. The Kappas did a lot of thing well and my first priority was the retain the detail of the Emit Tweeters, but I was always a little disapoi... 
My Woofer Sounds Like a Tweeter
See if the woofer cone can be moved easily when you push on it. It may be possible that the voice coil has frozen. 
Linn Basic LVX or Rega RB300 ?
Personnaly I would stay with a Linn arm. Linn has a way of working together with other Linn components. Also the Rega arm may pose some issues in spring tension setup. All just MHO of course.

XLR to RCA adaptors
As addition to Mofi's advice take a look at the new Clear series Cardas adapters. Sometimes audio is just too sexy! 
Has Anyone Criticized The Choice Of Your Cables?

I am using Mirage OmniSats in my bedroom. The imaging isn't their forte but I get good full sound with a sub and the positioning isn't crucial. 
A CD platyer that is s sonic match to an LP12?
I agree with eee3, I have a LP12 and had an Ikemi it is a very good player and 2000 is the most you should pay for a good used one. 
MDF Rack dampening question
I would start with filling the tubes with lead shot. Then if you add spikes make sure you use cone rest between spike and floor. I think butcher block would be a waste.How thick are MDF shelves and are you sure they are MDF and not particle board?... 
McCormack synergy
It's been years since I heard McCormack equipment, but back then I always thought that tara labs complimented the sound. But as said it has been years, check with usedcable.com they have a lending library. 
No output on New LS26
Thanks to all for your responses. I am now just waiting for the "Break in". So far it is somewhat brittle in sound but just from the 25 hours I have of burn in ,I have noticed that edge is softening this morning already. I amreally hoping that the... 
Matching Amp to Wilson Sophia 2
I would pick Mcintosh but if looking at Tubes also considerAudio research. 
ss amp synergy w/wilsons
My local wilson dealer uses both Audio Research and Ayre to drive his Sophia and Maxx and in another system Naim to drive Duettes. I think the Wilson speakers will sound great with just about any amp. But I am partial to the sound he gets with the...
