Hegel 160 vs Roksan K3
I found an article which compared the Hegel 160 to the Caspian which is below the K3 and it sounded like the reviewer would have chosen a Caspian.  
Roksan K3 2-Channel Power Amp vs Anthem PVA4 (Bi-Amp)
This helps me very much Caphill. From what I have read elsewhere you are spot on about the NAD M22. I don’t want the class D sound. I think I am pretty much sold on the Roksan. I am curious how those old Bryston 4Bs you see for sale everywhere sou... 
Roksan K3 2-Channel Power Amp vs Anthem PVA4 (Bi-Amp)
Thank you! So now that it seems I  going to a stereo amp It opened up a whole world at $1500. I see a used NAD M22 for $1700. Any suggestions? I want at least 140w driving my speakers.

Crazy! Good to know about the absorption.I will still try the bookshelves in the back because like you I like having them directly at my sides.Also, I didn’t know you needed the exact measurements so I remeasured. The room is actually 25’ long.

The mini wall is not going to work. It looks like it’s down to me literally placing the two sets of speakers temporarily and trying it in different locations I think. At least the in walls are enclosed to get an idea.

Finally, monitor audio did not recommend towers for the fronts since they would be in a cubby/closet cutout for the TV/credenza. I was thinking that they still have 10” behind them and would be flush with the wall, but they seemed to think that th...

Also, you are right in the switch. I thought they were dipole switches but it’s a boundary switch in case you are close to an adjacent wall I guess. I am literally thinking about building a mini wall on the other side of the couch just to mount th...

Sorry I have you the wrong model number it’s WT380IDC. They are also enclosed.i read that although the surrounds should be pointed at the listeners from the sides, they should not be directly in line with the head. It said it should be a tad behin...

http://www.audiogurus.com/learn/speakers/speaker-placement/100I found this informative article that speaks to my situation. If I use my bookshelves on the sides of me it’s a more direct sound. If I get another pair of the Monitor Audio WT-CP380IDC...

You have helped me so much Auxinput, first with my ICs, now this. I really appreciate it. I found it interesting that you didn’t suggest mounting in-walls on the back wall since my couch is up against the back wall. The problem with mounting in wa...

All great advice thanks you guys. I love that trick where you put the sub where you will be sitting and crawl around. I do have two of the same sub but that means I would have to steal it from my 2.1 system upstairs. :)Also, Auxinput, when you say... 
Best In-Wall Rated Cable for Subwoofer Run?
Thanks! Do you recommend not terminating at a wall plate at all?I just saw my current cable is RG59 and is rated for in wall but is only 22awg.Is that thick enough? 
Port Plugged Towers vs In-Wall
Interesting. Thank you for the response. I just had no clue of the sound difference. I can recess the wall and still have about 10” of soace behind a tower, so I still am up in the air as to what to do.It definitely helps to know that an In-wall c...
