Should I put my loudspeakers in a smaller room?
I had my system in a 12X11 room and was very happy with the way it sounded. The small room did lead to alot of nearfield, solitary listenng though. 
Where to find 6AWG E51583 wire on line
Are you serious? I ran 8 gauge wire for my stove when remodeling the kitchen and that stuff was a bi%#* to wrap around corners make connections with. I can't imagine hooking 6 gauge cable to a speaker or an amp terminal. That being said, try your ...

Best CDs for vocals?
Not in the habit of dissing artists but Nora Jones puts me to sleep somewhere into track two. There should be a warning label about listening to her while operating heavy machinery. Avguygeorge, exudes what? 
Soliloquy 5.3 , ET, Alon Model 1, or others
What is your room size?You might consider Odyssey speakers to go along with the amp. There are a couple of used bargains listed here (not mine). Good luck.

Best CDs for vocals?
I like Jane Siberry, When I Was a Boy. She does a duet with k.d. Lang that is absolutely wonderful. It's one of my favorites.

DIY Shelves
Interesting idea if you say inexpensive. I made shelves using Pennsylvania slate. Very inert material and heavy too. Click on my system for pics.

Neil Young - Like a Hurricane
Several versions live but the only one that is not hard driving electric is on the MTV Unplugged album. Not my favorite version and probably not the one you're referring to. 
Canare 4S11 two strands vs four strands
Someone correct me if I'm wrong but I beleive the 4S11 is made up of four strands of 14 gauge wire. I've used it for wiring amps and speakers and by the size of the individua; strands I'm sure it's 14 gauge each. When I strip it with wire stripper... 
Downsized and still happy, can it happen?
If you are still enjoying the search then no. I too was one of those using four or five components where there now are two. Every once in a while the idea of separates works its way in but I fight it off. If I decide to upgrade it will probably be...
