High quality in-wall UL-C2 rated 10-gauge A/C wiring ?

I need help trying to decide which bookshelf speakers to purchase
Totem Mani 2 are excellent but will need a decent amount of good quality power to come alive, need space around and behind them to show their potential, and require well built solid/heavy stands. Definitely not "book shelf" speakers.   
PRIMA LUNA DIALOGUE PREMIUM - 20 minutes and then loud pop and buzzing in 1 channel
This might be stating the obvious, but are you sure the amp is designed to work with KT150 tubes?  Either way, it might be worth trying it with the stock EL34 and see if the problem still exists. 
Splitter -- One preamp to two amps. What to use?
You also need to keep in mind that in most cases using both preamp’s outputs at the same time running two separate but identical amps, will present half of one of the amp’s input impedance to the preamp. Depending on the preamp output impedance an... 
Caster Wheels vs. Spikes
I assume by fake wood floors you mean suspended floor, in which case the spikes are generally not recommended. Castors are better isolators. 
Mcintosh 7270, impedance with Martin Logan Request.
Actually, try all three; 8, 4, and 2. The main difference is the output impedance/damping factor and the results will depend on your set up. I have found my Aerious i sounds best using the 8 ohm tap on my MC2200. The 4 ohm tap was very close but r...

How much does volume matter when breaking in amps and cables?
He's asking about electronics and cables not speakers.... 
CD player suggestions for Krell & Vandersteen
I generally only listen to the CD titles that are not available in Tidal and was about to replace my old (JVC) CDP until I decided to try running it through my Schiit Modi Multibit. The improvement was significant enough that I changed the plan an... 
Sound quality issues streaming from Tidal vs CD
"Tidal told me the master quality had to be done from pc."Not true. I stream Masters MQA content from my mobile device all the time. 
Integrated with passive preamp section. Good or bad idea, or both ?
"Integrated with passive preamp section: name one??Any... one."I'll give you more than one; All Pass Labs integrateds. 
Amp for nee LRS Maggies
I'd look for a used Bryston amp within your budget.  
Why more bass subwoofer into power conditioner
"Sometimes the transformer windings are designed to up the outgoing voltage a little. Usually a good thing."My isolation line conditioner bumps up the voltage by almost 2 volts when compared to the incoming wall voltage.   
JBL 4350's
You may want to contact local hotels with ballrooms, live music venues or even churches to see if you get any bites. I think it would be challenging to find someone even with more than average size home to accommodate them in their listening room,...
