Power Conditioning / Surge Protection
Hard to say if your Richard Gray Power Stations are up to the task without knowing the specific model number. The website does indicate that current models offer "balanced surge protection" but no info on protection level.You might want to start b...

@millercarbon - You never answered my question regarding SR, but I think the answer is rather clear.

"....I actually wind up becoming the Washington State distributor for Black Diamond Racing selling Cones, Shelf, all of it....."Now I see why you were always pushing BDR cones. Do you also have a financial relationship with SR?   
Are cable recommendations worth anything?
I consider cables to be the last step of a system build to satisfy a particular listening taste. Fine tuning, if you will. As for reviews, they can be somewhat useful to establish a general trend in perceived sound characteristics but, because of ... 
More power for moderate listening levels?
brianbiehs OP6 posts11-03-2020 10:51am"...."At the SAME volume, will a higher powered amp improve the sound quality?"Always nice to have extra power (headroom) on tap to handle the dynamics and the INT-250 @ 250wpc would certainly do the job, as... 
Magnum Dynalab FT-101A
spatialking273 posts11-02-2020 10:34pm"That is even more interesting!  An analog design problem from Dynalab!"The improved sound quality of the Lo Level output is the result of a simpler analog signal path. I don't consider that a design problem.

smaller speakers for critical listening?
+1 on Kef LS50s. A well-deserved Class A rating by Stereophile with many happy owners. 
External EQ/other solution?
The Schiit Loki equalizer at $149 might be what you're looking for. Has a bypass for those times when you don't need equalization.https://www.schiit.com/products/loki  
Can an “audiophile” ever be satisfied with a system?
Sometimes the quest for perfection spoils excellence. 
Question regarding subwoofers
rego199 posts10-28-2020 3:00pm"....a sub enclosure with two drivers ( 8" for example )will displace as much air as a single 16 " driver...."That’s not quite correct. An 8" driver has a cone area of 50 sq.in so two 8" drivers would equal 100 sq.in.... 
Question regarding subwoofers
To get a reference point, listen to jazz with the subwoofer turned OFF. Is the bass still centered? If so, the sub may NOT be to blame. Regardless, the sub crossover frequency should be set no higher than 80Hz or bass localization, as mentioned by...
