A Manufacturer that pays return shipping
The warranty components that I've had to send back that I purchased through a reputable dealer, always had the shipping paid one way, and in a few cases both ways, dealer paid one way, manufacturer paid the other. I would expect no less. 
System very bright after adding Mcintosh amp
It's kind of odd to hear about a McIntosh amp sounding bright or brittle, there reputation is somewhat opposite. I had a similar experience with a Levenson amp that was not known for being bright either, changing the power cord and interconnect so... 
Rate my rig
I'll go along with the 3 vote. 
Sometimes Less is More?
Revel F15 is that a new model? The F12 with two little 8" woofers work fine in a small room. Heard them once in the smallest show room I've been in, great sound for a mini system. 
Longest Advisable Speaker Cable Runs?
Agree with Jazzerdave. A good quality cable will degrade the sound very little. We went from 8' to 20' ( same cable ) without any audible difference. We could probably go with 15' but then the cables would be visible. 
Sometimes Less is More?
Sometimes less is more, more or less. We also find that the little system at the lake, ( Jadis front end Red Rose speakers ) can have something special. It is give and take, the smaller system has a certain magic, the big rig has impact and detail... 
Shouldn't done that...
Another vote for the Ayre. 
Opting for no CDP -- only to regret it?
We have all our music on hard drive bur rarely listen to it that way, Hard to beat the sound and experience of a good transport. 
Better than Perreaux 150i, price/performance?
Acoustic treatments move in, wife moves out, Oh well. 
Best Satellite speaker out there?
Not Bose. 
what to buy under $500 bi wire spkr cable
I doubt it's your cables, and your speakers are capable of good bass so I would look elsewhere. 
Pass 250.5 shuts down driving Magnepan 3.7
If you want to get loud, Maggies may not be the best choice. 
Listening Chair?
I was looking at a leather listening chair but when I saw the pouty lips on the other half, I decided to go with a love seat. She likes ton curl up next to me while we listen. 
digital vs vinyl thoughts
Good point Mapman. With my system it's about 50/50 as to which music I prefer on a format. Both are good but in different ways, there's no contraversy in my room. 
Levinson 27.5 to 335
I owned the #332 for many years and had no problems. Harmon has serviced anything I've sent there including some nearly antiques.
