I like my system flat, no tone controls, no eq..........what is your preference, and why.
I moved 3+ years ago,  my last room was excellent..... sooooo good, very minimal interaction.  I was completely with you,  tone controls are stupid, they get in the way.   Where I live now, I've worked my room till blue in the face.  REW room acou... 
Dual 721 - Harman Kardon T-60 - which TT to keep?
I really don't think either of these 2 tables will 'BLOW" the other away.  However.  If you are willing to do just a bit of tweaking,  I believe the Dual will out perform the HK by a tad... The Dual's arm's need to be tightened down,  they tend to...

New Adcom 👀585 SE. anybody heard this monster
@legendhill         This is the kind of update that is truly helpful.  Definitely solved my curiosity.   
Top of the line?
From what I have seen not a ton of people have actually sat in front of these amps. A lot of assumptions of what might be better or not. Of course, I'm not a whole lot better.  I have heard these and was sooo impressed. A rich character, smooth ye... 
Simple low end amp question
Here you go,  decent performer,  this company is out of business, so these amps go cheap.  Very decent product.  https://www.ebay.com/itm/KINERGETICS-RESEARCH-COMPUSOUND-II-SW-200V-SUBWOOFER-AMPLIFIER/253640170307... 
Advice on pre-amps needed
I would recommend to look at a SST Ambrosia.  The only pre on your list that I've hear is the Ayre K-1x..... so,  I can't comment too deeply on how it would compare with all that you have listed,  but I can tell you that for me,  the SST has a sli... 
Let's talk Tweeters!
@erik_squires Hi Erik, I have never heard the Lansche plasma’s so this comment isn’t directly for that speaker, but why couldn’t it be the worlds best tweeter, May not be at all, but something is. You speak of measurements specifically frequency r...

F3 sealed on that driver is about 100ish,  F3 in a ported or vented box will be 60 or even a bit lower.  This is a true full range driver and a rather good one at that.  Plus you'll gain 5+ db in sensitivity over the others that you had been looki... 
Is biamping worth the time and effort with emerald physics? 4.3.

Is this an excellent value?
I have owned Yaqin, it was enjoyable piece of gear and a great value. They sell several tubed and I believe 1 hybrid integrated amps as well as a tube buffer and a phono section.  I only personally know 1 other person that owned Yaqin and I know f... 
High order crossovers
I haven't dove in here, I've felt that Duke has been doing a terrific job in his explanations, but this might contribute a bit, it takes a bit off subject, but in the big picture is appropriate. The single thing that I have found that does drain d...
