foam on speaker delaminating. Fix it ???
Where are you located? If anywhere near Milwaukee, WI, I know an excellent store that can help you: Audio Ventures/Wisconsin Reconing (414) 258-2118. They really know there stuff. 
Can speaker cables damage amplifiers?
I don't know about Krell products, but Spectral recommends only MIT cables with their equipment to decrease the risk of oscillation. 
Recommend a long subwoofer rca?
This isn't an answer to your question, but rather is an inquiry of my own. Supposedly, balanced cables are better when running long distances r/t noise. Why aren't subs built with XLR connector's on them? Also, are there any XLR-to-RCA adaptors ou... 
Power Cord for Spectral Amp
Look at Spectral's website for recommended ancillary devices. 
Spectral Amp
I own a Spectral preamp and power amp. No, the Spectral amp will not "blow up" if driven by only a CD player. But, Spectral power amps like high output, current and voltage, preamps. Spectral preamps do both of these things. You will not realize a... 
Spectral Amps and Legacy Speakers?
I cannot comment on the Legacy speakers as I have never heard them. But, I own a Spectral DMC-20 Series II preamp and a Spectral DMA-200 power amp. The Spectral gear is on the "detail" side of the detail vs. musical spectrum. With the Spectral pre...

Vote for best US made solid state amp

NEED AN OUTBOARD SUBWOOFER AMPLIFIER
The amp you need will obviously depend on the efficiecy of your sub. I plan on purchasing a Snell Type 1800 sub, a ported but nevertheless inefficient sub. I plan on purchasing an Ashly pro amp in the 1000W bridged area with MOSFET output devices;... 
klipsch- love/hate relationship?
After my divorce approx. 1 yr. ago (hooray!), I got back into stereo stuff. I purchased a used pr. of Klipsch Chorus's. They are good rock and roll speakers, but that is about it. The only decent sound I've heard from any Klipsch speaker is one th...
