I agree that their prices are outrageous and they seem to demonstrate little interest in working with a buyer to make a sale nor for even simple follow up. The weakening economy will adjust their price gouging downwards, just as its started to imp...

So...I miss read your room dimensions ! I'd sit 2/3 of the way back from the speakers and if that doesn't help then I'd add a JL f113v2. I did about three months ago along with their CR1 crossover. You can dial in the set up in very very fine and ... 
Speakers known for great midrange.
Two of the best sounding set ups I've had were using Pass (an XP 10 pre and a 250.8 amp) with Harbeth. I had the 30.2 which were great - very detailed and neutral and uncannily good with voices- and then upgraded to the HLS5 Super which were amazi... 
Using Adcom GFA-555s as monoblocks to power magnepan 3.3s in active biamp
Adcom GFA 555 and a Nak PA-7...that's a blast from the past ! We were selling both of those brands w-a-y back in the early 1990's when I was running the Harvey Electronics chain of audio stores in the NYC/NJ area ! We sold a ton of the Adcom, fewe...

IMO it's your room size, not your furniture nor your amp/speakers. Bass frequencies are "long" and need physical distance to travel without piling up and stacking up in a room. Your room is too small for the speakers you have. Treating the room wo... 
My last Integrated Amp: $5-10,000?
Huge price range ? Like saying "I'm looking at a KIA Telluride for 50k or Porsche Cayenne S for 110k". I'd narrow your price range and then look within it.  
What do you use to keep high gloss speakers clean?
I avoid cleaning them at all as no matter what you use it'll eventually put swirl marks into the finish. I have a cloth placemat covering my JL audio sub...

Uh, I'd have cancelled the Ohms a LONG time ago, hopefully you didn't put down much of a deposit. Extended and shifting delivery times are never a good sign...get your money back asap and move on.  
Ridiculous sale
I agree with the observations about TMR audio; their prices are getting closer and closer to original retail MSRP on their used goods and their "Certified" program offers pretty much nothing to the buyer. And, having to click thru to their site fo... 
Your sub experience: Easy or hard?
I've run REL s/510 SHO with focal Sopra 2, Harbeth 30.2 and Harbeth SHLs 5 with generally good results in a purpose built room about 13x22. I then changed to a JL 113v2 and the JL crossover, CR-1 and now run this with Wilson Sabrina, crossed over ... 
Just my observation - seems like there is less listed on AG
I'm sure it has to do with the free versus paid listings and it often seems Audiogon equipment prices are higher as well as many categories being dominated by a couple of businesses who post half the listings in Audio Research, Wilson and other ca... 
Horn speakers for vintage sound
Cornwalls and you're done, 4-5k used and they're great.

Hi Glenn, I just received an update from your customer "service" people this morning on my order which was due first week of April. Before posting the details here I opted to send you  PM here. Pls respond to me today.    thanks   
I miss my Loudness Button and Tone Controls....
I miss them too at times on a pretty high end system. One of the reasons I tried and continue to use Roon is that it has built in digital EQ- a very powerful one in fact. Among the many things it can do is it allows you to set pre set EQ curves yo...
