Transparent's Network Boxes
Grills make a difference with my speakers also. My designer set the speakers up with the grills and said they are meant to be on as that is how he tuned them.Even different stands make a difference. Some speakers are more critical to change than o... 
General opinion about ADCOM amplifiers
I always thought of Adcoms as dry and prefered B&K's and Rotel to them. They are great for Bass and would consider them for Bass amps if I were to Bi-Amp or Tri-Amp. MUSE is another great Bass amp.I guess I prefer sweet sounding amps. 
Receiver Rotel? and Speakers Maggies? for HT?
You can find better speaker's than both Maggies or B&W's for their respected prices. I use to own Maggies and have auditioned B&W's. While I imagine they would both be speakers you can live with there are minor drawbacks to both in terms o... 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
The Older Mac's and Marantz Tube Amps. Today I would think stuff like Theta Dreadnaughts, Plinius Odeon and any amp that brings out the best traits of your particular speakers I would keep until one of 4 events occur.1-Your Death!2.Change of Syste...

B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia?
LrskyNot that they cannot build a better speaker,but they do not want to correct the problem which baffles me.A speaker I use that had older drivers had this type of signature also. I mentioned it to the designer and he had updated drivers which h... 
Power Cords Snake Oil ??
Why do you guys pick on Ed? He has a lot more wisdom for audio than others I have read.If for any reason he is into things which might be construed as being a little unorhodox than please excuse my ignorance,but as far as I know he is not using sa... 
B&W Nautilus 801s vs. Wilson Audio Sophia?
I agree with Yoga as the suckout problem is one which is not tolerated for myself. I used modified NEAR's which use to have these same problems until I was lucky enough to have them revamped by Bill K of NEAR. A whole other speaker after that.New ...

Luxman was a well respected Co. in their day. I hope that it serves you well till you hit the great gigg in the sky!Some people search for their dream setups their whole life and never find it. I feel the most essential component are your speakers...
