Audioquest Niagara 7000 tested with Power Line Meter
With one of these https://www.amazon.com/SF-Cable-prong-Adapter-60320-C14/dp/B004OC579E you could have a field-day testing PCs. 
Comparing these CD players with my gear...
Remember now too the NuPrime CDT-8 option at $800.

A more modern version of the AudioPrism noise-sniffer?  Very useful.  Have the seen the videos on YouTube of Isotek using a similar device with their units? 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Great report of listening impressions.But... it you use the 3.7s as a benchmark/litmus test for all other auditions, the only speakers that will ultimately satisfy is another set of 3.7s. 
Acrotec and Acrolink cables
They're the same; they are a branch of Esoteric.  Little distribution in the US, but very available on ebay from Japan.  Major claim to fame was the purity of the copper used, many years before others jumped on that bandwagon.  I have some oldish ... 
Notable very small loudspeaker companies (other than Tekton!)
Lots of great suggestions here.  Keep 'em on coming.  There are all these interesting companies under the radar.  Perhaps one of them will be the Next Big Thing. 
Are spendor speakers competitive in sound quality to KEF, B&W, ProAC, Audio Physic
Spendor make, well, splendid speakers.  The D7 and D9 are superlative.  Their SP100 is also very interesting, but is often in the shadow of the Harbeth 40.  Unlike Harbeth, who goes the monitor route, Spendor also make these less expensive floor-s...

Any more comments on Tyler?From the outside, they remind me strongly of the Duntech/Dunlavy lines. 
Basic system for living room
Quad Z-1 or Z-2 (see Underwood) + Belles Aria. 
Help please
So all this points to the repair job done on the C-4's.  Did you ever get them checked again?  Who did the repair?  Have you tried a different set of speakers in your system?  Try this first; if they sound balanced, get the C-4's looked at. 
Integrated amp for my Dynaudio Contour 30s!
New York Sound and Vision have a demo Hautonga listed on here right now for three and a quarter.   
Revel Salon 2’s (used) or new Magico A-3 (new) ??
@telescope_trade If I had 10K to spend on speakers on A'gon today, the clear choice--to me--would be the Vienna Acoustics The Music.  But then, that's just me. 
What is meant when someone says a component is lacking soul
no soul=clinical, uninvolvingsoul=more "body", perhaps even a little (horrors!) warmth 
Thoughts on the most difficult instruments for speakers to reproduce?
Piano.
