What is the best way to tame a slightly bright speaker?
Think about room treatments also.Reflections on hard surfaces and glass will emphasize high frequencies.You can make your own very inexpensively.Experimenting with chair and sofa cushions at first reflection points costs $0.I agree that subwoofers... 
Bright or Dim?
Music is definitely a better experience in the dark.It helps create the illusion that it's real(not Memorex:) 
Power Uber Alles ?
In a 12x18 room with 86db speakers a 100 watt amp that can double it's power into 4ohms would be sufficient.My former house had a 20x16 living room but was open to the dining room and kitchen and I needed 300 watts for the 89db  speakers to get an...

As timo62 mentioned the same ol same ol on the radio is tiresome.But I love the 60s and 70s music from my youth.The best stuff never graced the radio waves

Geez!I was just ranting a bit is all.The little amp is sounding great since cable swapping.Tubed components do need to break in a while IMHO.After 25hours or so they're about 90% there.My anxiety stemmed from how it was sounding way different from... 
Solid Silver Power Cord
I have a couple of Cabledyne Silver Synergy cords that I like very much.Clean,clear,uncolored power delivery.

I've got some vinyl but no turntable at present.I've been eyeing some tables recently....maybe later.My brother has a new VPI that he is struggling with.I absolutely love listening to records with him and think it's perfect, but he's always tweaki...
