MBL 120 vs 126
Thanks very much for your comments, Prof. I do have the option of using a room that is 13' X 40', but would prefer the smaller room because it is near our main living area and keeps me near the action.  I would guess that with this size room the ... 
Can you share your experience and thoughts on the Audio Research integrated?
I own one and it is awesome.  
Magnepan 20.7i Amplifier Pairing
Thanks for your comments.  It looks like Rogue Apollo Darks with RP-9 Preamp.  Heard really good things about this with the 20.7s.

Transparent Gen 5 Super vs. Gen 6 Plus
Do anyone know whether this applies to all products or just interconnects and speaker cables. I recently ordered balanced interconnects from my dealer and he sent me Gen 5 instead of Gen 6.  I should probably send them back. I ordered a USB cabl... 
Transparent Gen 5 Super vs. Gen 6 Plus
It sounds like I have found the answer to my question from a previous post.  Apparently, Transparent says that their new generations are 1 1/2 step beyond the previous generation.  That being said, the Gen 6 should be a better cable than Gen 5 Sup...

New Power Cable on a 1990 Hafler DH120?
Thanks to everyone for your input.  It spoke to John Hillig at Musical Concepts and he is really the Hafler upgrade guy.  Lots of experience.  I think I will have them upgraded by John for a second system.  Thanks to BPoletti for the contact.  
Aurender Conductor latest fail…
This stands in sharp contrast to the complete lack of support offered by Roon.  I spent weeks dealing with setup issues with my Roon Rock server that probably could have been solved by a technician from Roon in a 10 minute phone call.  Absolutely ... 
REL T7x or T5x for Small Room
Thanks to everyone for your recommendations.  I went with a pair of the T5x's and I am very pleased with the results.  They add substance to the recordings.  I am working on getting them set properly and just received "Sneakers".

Best Integrated/Control Amp for less than $5000
The Octave stuff is stunning.   I will have to investigate further...  
Best Integrated/Control Amp for less than $5000
Yeah, I think I have given up on resurrecting the Hafler.  It is still using it, but I am not sure how much longer.  Plus, I would like to upgrade sooner rather than later.  I am not sure I want to spend money on replacing caps, etc.  
Best Integrated/Control Amp for less than $5000
Yes, separates.  I have heard a lot of good things about Van Alstine SET 120 amp.  Priced at about $1300!  I have been coveting the Audio Research I-50 integrated...but it is 4X the price and a different animal altogether.
