Interesting discovery when my carpets were cleaned yesterday!
Herbie's threaded gliders are more discreet than the Gaias... 
Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not
By that logic all Harbeth owners should limit themselves to Hegel amps.  Which is clearly not the case.  Some of us prefer to trust what we hear ourselves. 
Question about length of SPDIF COAX interface cable length
I thought it was optical/toslink that needed to be a certain length to perform optimally. 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
@highend666  I presume this claim is based on your personal auditioning of every speaker on the planet. 
Thought My Harbeth M40.1's Were Forever Speakers - Guess Not
@cd318 Unless you own or have owned 40.2's from new, and have gone through the process, you hardly seem like the best qualified to opine on this topic.  Most of us are posting based on first-hand empirical experience.

Something Else I'm Wondering About
Some people do go into their speakers and rewire the insides with whatever speaker cable they are using.Still, mutatis mutandis, this is rather like the electric grid/power cable argument. 
Monoblock Aegirs
Horizontal bi-amp with one Vidar and one AegirORcall Johnny Rutan at Audio Connection and talk to him about how well the Belles Aria goes with the Vandersteen 2's. 
Location of instruments in the orchestra...
There is a somewhat common practice called "split violins", where they're divided left and right, but if they are all clearly on the right, then as newbee say, the channels got reversed somewhere in the chain.  It may be in your system, but if oth...

@cd318  Yes.  When your "gist" of these two sentences:"the bass has been progressively optimized, that is, made drier, for those less damped acoustics. So the 40.2 is better balanced for the majority of modern rooms."is "drier bass", then yes, tha...
