Are you a Verificationist about audio?
Ant-verificationist all the way. If I hear it (or don't), that's all the verification I need. However, since I am limited to exposure in my system, any "statements" I would make on these things would come with a heavy dose of YMMV.

My experience with ATC SCM 12
DkzzzzMore amp wattage does not equate to automatically being louder. It provides for more headroom and allows one to turn the volume up without clipping. With speakers rated at 85dB @ 1W @ 1M as these are, one can assume that they require a decen...

How long it take before your system/amps sound

Speaker cable vibration?
Rok2id - to address your specific post, I wasn't referring to speaker cones vibrating (wait, those are SUPPOSED to vibrate???), but the binding posts and the cables connected to them. Never mind. 
Speaker cable vibration?
