WHAT HAPPENED TO SONUS FABER?
The larger the company the more likely it is that people in management and sales will come up with price points in a new line of speakers that they want the new product to hit.  Then the designers/engineers make that happen.In a small company, whe... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Mascagni, "L'amico Fritz".  Pavarotti & Freni.Red book CD.

Do speaker cables need a burn in period?
If the Higgs boson exists, then cable burn-in exists...(Of course, it all comes down to what you mean by "exist".)

Hypex N core module

Need speakers recommendation for my system (in Jakarta, Indonesia)
The Harbeth 40.2 are a bit out of your price range, but would be very good.  If you can, do listen also to the Vienna Acoustics Liszt.  Are ProAcs distributed where you live? 
What’s in a watt
Does the HINT do everything you need?  Seems like a good recommendation. 
SPEAKERS JUMPER CABLES
^ This.  Surely it makes sense, if you can, to have jumper cables made out of the same wire as the full-length speaker cables.  A good number of manufacturers, but not all, offer such an option.  I'm sure any boutique maker can run up a set.  And ... 
Speakers for a very large room?
Have you considered going the Lyngdorf route for room correction?
