Help selecting integrated amp for ls50
No contest, buy the ls50 wireless, it is active = better bass, uses DSP (maximized use of the drivers, room / Speaker placement correction, wireless streaming. It is the best kitchen system and will have a better resale value.i would not invest in... 
Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used?
Well, i mention very fast Bass because this is the weak spot of all speakers. High inertia of the large bass driver or time smear with multiple small ones destroy coherence and introduce timing problems. 85db - where all frequencies start to appea... 
Most coherent low volume speaker with very fast bass under 10k used?
I would like too add that I like wide dispersion speakers. Think ATC SCM50, with the coherence and speed of a quad 57, and dynamics of horns. 
Do you find battery supplies inferior to well designed power supplies?
Even with low power devices like dacs and preamps, batteries are lacking dynamics. But the capacitor concept of vinnierossi lio sounds interesting  
Most detailed budget power cord under 150$ used?
Thank you! Any experience with diy solid core cables like VOVOX initio power? 
Most detailed budget power cord under 150$ used?
Thank you! So so these diy options are better than budget power cords (Audioquest nrg x3, Wireworld aurora, Pangea 14se) because of the better connector quality?

Recos for entry level Bookshelf speaker $400-750 for 21yo nieces first system?
Don't even think about passive speakers in that price range. The best you can do is a pair of JBL LSR305 + a Bluetooth DAC. Much much better sound for the money. Incredible dynamics that most 10k speakers can't reach.

Active studio monitors anyone?
Even with studio monitors there are good and bad ones - in every price range! Grimm Ls1 and ATC SCM50 ASL are a must hear if you are looking for a SS amp powered speaker setup above 10k. Studio monitors give you a much better bang for the buck and... 
WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH WATTS?
Watts is like HP - it tells you nothing about the torque, it will give you a hint how fast (loud) a car can go but thats useless when you listen in the 1 to 5 Watt range at 80 to 90 db. Its about the instant acceleration, how much torque and at wh... 
Amplification Recommendations For Magnepan .7
