hi Prof,   thank you so much. great reading.  i think the better our systems get,  the more tiny changes are audible.  why swap power cords if your speakers are Bose or something like that.  i use a Lafuma reclining chair as it is not thick and does not seem to mess with the sound too much like my leather couch does.  i like to recline and so i am laying back when listening which is why my ear is lower than most.   i find that when i go other homes, or to dealers,  that i end up sitting lower and closer than anyone else.  what device are you using that you mentioned moving around a bit.

hi Jafant,
Besides the Bryston amps, I have a very modest system that was originally tailored for home theater.  It currently consists of Anthem AVM20 as a pre-amp processor.  For source, I have a Sony SCD-XA9000ES SACD for 2-channel but a cheap Sony DVD player, the model number of which I don't know.  Both the Anthem and SACD player have been giving me electrical problems (not turning on a few occasionally), so I've been thinking about getting a Bryston BDA-3 to be used as an external DAC or possibly getting the Anthem AVM60 to upgrade my surround sound processing, either of which I would use the cheap Sony DVD player as a transport until I find the funds to upgrade that.  I've got Straightwire between the Anthem and Bryston amps, with Kimber Kable for the rest of the interconnects, and generic 10awg copper speaker cable I think I got from Blue Jeans.

hi Prof,
My 2.7s are the exact same color. The original shipping box shows the finish as "Morado" but in reality it is Morado Rosewood, and looks just as you describe and matches the image you referenced.  My PCS, while also in a "Morado" finish, is not rosewood, so it has less of a reddish color and is more brown.  In natural sunlight, you can see the difference between the two finishes, but with my recessed lights at night, the Morado finishes look very similar.
Now that I know that your 3.7s are in the same finish as my 2.7s, I know they would fit nicely in my system.  Please consider me when you decide to sell your speakers: batman.fan.ebay@gmail.com

Ok batmanfan. Noted.  I've had interest from others too.

I'm also  still deciding whether to trade them in for some Devore speakers, or sell locally (both those options meaning no shipping hassle).

No worries, Prof.  If you decide to trade them in, sell locally, or even to the person who was the first to show interest, whoever that may be, then it was just not meant to be for me to own your pair and the quest will simply continue.  Life is too short to get hung up on these things :-)
