A really charming youtube video from Lisa Hannigan
Who needs to haul around a drum kit when you can just play brushes on a paper menu? The kids are cute, too. 
Speaker recommendation
Axspike, yeah your room would be too small for Goldis. The C1 recommendation is a good one. I used to have Usher BE-718's which would work well in a smaller room just like the C1 would. 
Any Caviar Fans Here?
I watched a TV episode of Man, Woman, Wild the other night and they ate the roe right out of a freshly killed spawning salmon. They said it was good. 
Speaker recommendation
If you like your overall sound but just want more bass maybe you should step up to PSB Stratus Goldi speakers (they are discontinued but show up used). They do like a lot of power but bass is one of their strong suits and otherwise they would soun... 
Lifespan of a quality solid state amplifier?
Between my buddy and I we have 3 SS amps still going strong after a combined 75+ years. All of them are 200WPC and up. Adcom, Kenwood, and Carver. The only issue is noisy volume pots on the Kenwood but I leave it at full volume all the time anyway... 
Your Worst Audio Breakdown
I've been really lucky over the past 35 years. Only amps have given me problems and they were minor. My old Kenwood M2 developed a cold solder joint after 15 years and a local shop resoldered a bunch of joints and it has been fine ever since-still... 
Small Floorstander That Uses Ribbon Tweeters?
Yeah the Acoustic Zen Adagio has a similar footprint to the one in your post but is a little taller and does have a ribbon tweeter. I use an NAD M3 and it is a great match-my favorite amp/speaker combo since we moved to our smaller home. 
Armoire between speakers
Magfan,Lemme guess, Water Music? You should come over to listen and drink. 
Armoire between speakers
I have a large, tall aquarium in between my speakers and it sounds fantastic as long as the fronts of the speakers are pulled out least 12" in front of the tank. This has been my setup for over 35 years in 10 different homes (and one tolerant wife... 
Upgrade suggestions for Parasound/Dynaudio system
I dunno but I love your dairy analogy. I could spark a whole new debate on nonfat/1%/2%/whole milk/cream virtues. 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
I like beer that has a high alcohol content.Eggplant? It's a texture thing. 
Do You Love Music or Do You Love Hi-Fi?
Just because some audiophiles and music lovers have bad taste in music doesn't mean they don't love it as much as the music you love. I might think the stuff you love is really dumb but I still feel a kinship with you because you love some kind of... 
Music and gear
I have four motorcycles, ten bicycles, eight pairs of speakers, four amps, four CD players, only one tape deck, two tuners, a couple thousand CD's plus five more I bought today, two fish tanks. I do all the cooking so she likes me. 
Class D amps
Some of you guys (gals maybe-not you Elizabeth, you're cool) need to learn to be nice. I'll bet you'd have better manners if Nordic587 asked you face-to-face. Jeez.I've been a music lover and hifi hobbyist for almost four decades and it still seem... 
Why do you Pick a Certain Speaker producer?
Sebrof, I guess you like cats. We have two. My wife likes them.
