Been away for a while, need some help
Similar to you, I took a hiatus of 34 years from audio.  Back in the day had a Goldmund, Koetsu, ML, Krell, Apogees.  Did other things in the interim.  I went digital and now stream only and did it right.  I have no cd's, no vinyl, but my system i... 
Moved from 2 channel to Home Theatre - Regrets?
Hello  cinematic_systemsSo glad to hear your fondness for Meridian.  Just picked up a demo G65 to expand from 2 ch to Multichannel.  Looking at DSP3200 and M6 for rear and side speakers. 
Cool it!
Which Krell do you have.  I have the KSA-80B and while it runs warm, it does not get hot.  Perhaps refer to the owners manual and see what they reccomend for a temp.  Does it trip the fail safe?  I drive my one Ohm Apogee Scintillas and I have nev... 
Unbelievable
I thought this sounded preposterous at first.  But since Yamaha makes very good musical instruments, I tend to respect them.  Just speculation, but if these speaker cabinets are fabricated with wood, the paint finish might be some sort of epoxy or... 
Expectations after re cap of power-amp
I had my 35 year old Krell KSA-80B refurbished about a year ago.  It was completely recapped as well as other components replaced.  It wounded wonderful when I got it back.  Its in hard service driving Apogee Scintilla One Ohm's--but I expect it t... 
Harbeths new Extented Defination
I wonder what Krell with say about "XD".  Of course its on speakers and not amplifiers.  Look for a change to another name. 
Synergistic Research Cable Risers?
Ignore the previous post by me.  I had pushed the "buy" button which you seem to have to do these days to get the price.  Just scrolled down and they do list the price as $399 for a set of 4. 
Synergistic Research Cable Risers?
Does anyone know how much these are. I followed the link and I did not see the price--just a form to fill out to send my info to the nearest dealer.  Not thinking of buying, but am curious as to the price. 
Isolation Transformers
I have experience with two of the 3500P Inakustics units.  One for the Brain and one for the Brawn.  They handle it fine.  I would buy them again.  I had more than 6 pieces of gear to condition.  
Low-sensitivity speakers — What's special about them?
+1 tomic601.  I have installed a  pair of Vandersteen Model 3 Subwoofers.  They are sublime.

Are your speakers designed for your listening taste and hearing ability?
While many olderphiles might have some hearing loss, you have to remember that this same hearing loss is what they use when they go toa live concert.  So if live concerts, particularly those without a lot of doctored music, are the reference, that... 
Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS
I run a Nuceus+ and Roon thru a Meridian Ultra Dac.  Very happy with the result.  I have no vinyl and only ripped cd's. 
Room Nucleus+ vs what for dCS
I have the Nucleus+ driving a Meridian Ultra Dac--sort of in the same league as the DCS.  I am very happy with the Nucleus+ SQ.  There are DIY solutions if that floats your boat.  For me, I work on my computer 15 hours a day, so I chose the Nucleu... 
Eh hem!...Subwoofers... What do ya know?
After doing lots of reading, research, and listening, I went with a pair of the new Vandersteen Model 3 Subs. I liked the way they integrated with the main speakers. I will take delivery in a couple of weeks--they are in shipping. I will let you k...
