Sorry to hear this:-( R.I.P. Dusty 
What’s the biggest mismatch you’ve seen, heard, or done?
Older Krell amp with Klipsch Cornwalls.Ice picks in the ears. 
Quality outlets for non-audio
DeKay for what it's worth I've had very good luck with Moen for both kitchen and bath fixtures.Eric I replaced all of our outlets 15 years ago.I don't remember the brand, but I just chose the brand that felt and looked sturdy from HomeDepot. They ... 
Connecting Klipsch Cornwall to Rotel RA-1062
There should be four binding posts on the back of your amp - two for speaker "A" red + black -.                    two for speaker "B" red + black -On the front of the amp set the speaker selector to EITHER "A" or "B" and connect to whichever you ... 
List a Condition you know of that will produce Better Sound
A nice bourbon and turning the lights down low 
Audiophile Loudness Wars—Too Much again!?
Nobody needs it. Lower gain tubes help a little, if one has tubed components. My amp has adjustable gain thank God. 
Just wondering about speaker cables
It won't hurt anything. You're just increasing your wire gauge is all. But using two totally different cables won't give you the best of both, more like all of each:-)Give it a try and see what you think.

Rank the tweaks, geeks!
Component isolation makes a huge positive difference. Power cords and finding just the right digital cables seem to set the foundation for choosing ics and speaker cables.no experience with fuses,risers,or changing out caps. 
Put fun back into Hometheater+Music
There are way more lurkers here than posters.It gets tiring when someone has a simple question that results in an totally unrelated argument and no helpful information. 
To Harbeth or not to Harbeth, That is the question...
I have the C7s and I agree that they respond well to cables that tend towards a leaner presentation. The gorgeous mids need no extra boost of warmth. Mr. Shaw's recommended stand height and set up is spot on.Tube amps 40-60 watts work fine with mi... 
Dedicated lines — how many? Other advice?
@hilde45  I have no advice but will share my experience. I have one dedicated 20amp line that was installed as soon we purchased the house.When I decided to move the system to the opposite side of the room on a  20amp circuit that is shared,I hear...

What system would a robot with ears buy?
The robot would have to audition several system configurations to listen for the perfect reproduction of of robotic voices singing Nora Jones covers;-) 
Is there a point of diminished returns with amps and Harbeth 30.1s?
I run my C7s with either a 40 watt tube amp(Aric Audio) or a 100 watt ss(Modright).The ss has a sense of ease when listening loudly but I can't choose a favorite really. The speakers respond very favorably to different footers and speaker cables. ...
