Heat issue with Lamm M1.2 Reference
You should contact Lamm. If the two amps are operating at different temperature under similar conditions I would suggest the bias needs to be adjusted. I had a similar situation with a Classe amp in which one side was warm while the other was extr...

Newbee, I run a spell checker. I wonderful invention for those of us who can't spell or type. It corrected six typos in this small post. 
Sufjan Stevens, Come On Feel The Illinoise
I believe I recall reading some of those threads but hadn't tried it. After hearing Sufjan's contribution to the Joni Mitchell I purchased the Illinoise cd. Others will follow soon. 
Class-D amps - a different re view
Myrtle said it best. I'm sticking with my Bel Canto. If there's a weakness, I haven't noticed. Too busy listening to music. 
Considering Cambridge Audio Amp/CD - Need Advice
I'm going to suggest the NAD C-352 integrated. I bought one used for $300 a few months back. That amp is a true bargain. I also owned a NAD C541i cd player two or three years ago. The newer 542 is a very nice cdp with HDCD for the money. Good luck...

Acoustic Sound Treatment
Congrats to you. I agree with the other recommendations for some bass traps. After checking your system I'd like to see some pics of the DIY panels. 
Which classified section do you peruse first?
"New 2 Days" nearly daily. 
Loud bad noises
Or you could try a very soft brush and a can of compressed air on the assembly. It worked on a skipping Sony player I had. 
New house room size opinions please........
RW, after reading you comments I did some soul searching (not manly I know) and decided to change my wimpy ways. Just got done slapping the wife and kicking the dog around. I feel much better now. Can I enter your world of manly men now?

New house room size opinions please........
Good advice from Jaybo. When we were looking for our new home last year I watched for clues from my wife and offered my opinion based on those clues. She agreed from the start that my "stereo room" was on her list so it was easy to go along. Say w... 
The planets have aligned
Wonderful to hear. After checking your system page I'm not sure what amp you're pushing the Abbys with.
