Looking for a new phono preamp
Hopefully Keith gave you a deal--he did for me 8 months ago and i couldn't be happier with the Herron--replaced a MS Phonomena II although i didn't have the linear power supply so perhaps didn't give it enough credit--disagree that the Herron does... 
Why so many angry audiophiles?
+1 @cal3713 Don't know if "angry" is the right word @mapman - "condescending, know-it-all could easily be substituted. 
Increasing bass on floor standing speakers
You may find it useful to download a Real Time Analyzer (RTA) to your phone and check your room for bass modes and nulls--then you will see if your listening position is in a null.  I use AudioTools but there are many others.  You can also use a f... 
Speaker recommendation $10-20K (with some requirements!)
@mathiasmingus--lots of recommendations to ponder--my 2 cents:1.agree with @chorus & others--start with room treatment for harsh highs/mids--easier to address and absolutely necessary before changing speakers2. Those Bryston amps are powerful ... 
Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
@aural_grat--or try to tune a guitar when fully under the influence !  But i've got news for you--on 2.5 mg you are still "stoned"--only just enough for the music, but not enough to be stupefied.  As i'm sure you know being in the profession, toda... 
Take that to good will
@roxy54 --robelvick was just re-doing the OP's post backwards.  I'm with the group that wants to know what the point is ? 
Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
@sokogear--ain't that the truth--i leave mine in the system so the bars and pretty lights show up and dance, but it's not in the sound signal loop 
The survival of the fittest.
@jpwarren58-  "Tweak Evangelist" and "Count of Concrete" totally made my day--i'm still laughing.BTW Count of Concrete--You can't say it's all marketing and it's all word of mouth in the same sentence--it's one or the other.   
Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
thanks--sounds like i better talk to a hearing doc about this--always wondered what i've really been missing--is the stereo image weighted to the left side? i haven't really noticed that.  Is what i'm missing just "sparkle"--my HF loss is everythi... 
Easily the best and most significant sonic tweak one could ever make!
@aj523--Since your hearing is "asymmetrical" (I have exact problem you did--HF loss in right (too much rifle range)) are the aids also tuned asymmetrically ?  If you don't really need one for the left ear do you still have to wear one if you use o... 
Opening Record Store
@fromunda --Based on your lack of response to many questions/advice here i'm gathering you either (a) don't like what you're hearing or (b) did not expect the response you're getting and are re-thinking this--hopefully the latter.  Are you unhappy...

I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I?
True dat--the Aerial 7T's that i bought sound great in my room   but i guarantee the dealer's room treatments (and source/amps) were way better--still working on room treatment in mine as i believe this may be the single most important aspect of r... 
I'm never going to hear a megaspeaker in a good room am I?
Maybe it's a good thing you can't or you might experience what happened to me a several years ago.  I went to a boutique dealer to hear some Aerial Acoustic speakers.  He had an amazing listening room with movable walls, ceiling and room treatment...
