Ok, but does your audio gear have rotons (metamaterials)?
You're welcome.

The energy doesn't go anywhere it's still right here in the universe. Hence the second law of thermodynamics. Energy is not created nor destroyed all that was in the universe in the beginning will be here at the end as random motion of atoms, comp... 
An unconventional approach to POWER MANAGEMENT
Either know what to look for or get an electrician to examine your panel box they don't all allow tandem breakers.  
Single vs. Dual Subs
You can't recreate the sound field of a live event in your room with a stereo system. It can't even be recorded. The best you get is a good facsimile.  
Speaker size and soundstage
It has to do with spacial cues in the recording.  I can get a huge soundstage and imaging (placement) with 2 monitors and 2 subs with the right recording, with others not so much. Room treatment and DSP to control FR, phase and delay will help ach... 
In term of construction, what's the difference between cheap vs. expensive power cables
And...How does having space between conductors improve cable performance? Especially power cable?There needs to be adequate space between conductors because everyone knows that noise is introduced when free-range electrons get to close together.  ... 
Fraud and scam, how many of you are victims?
Not me, always use PayPal or other means of protection like Escow dot com  and never accept a P.O. Box as an address.  
How much reality do you really need?

DALI Opticon or Dynaudio Evoke help please?!
You're comparing kind of totally different speaker designs. Dali speakers are very wide dispersion, they even say to listen off axis, dynaudio are narrow dispersion which works good for HT. What I would do is toss the Dali in the HT setup and see ... 
Active Speaker Choice
I have the Genelec 8351b and I'm the first to admit they aren't for everyone. They are about the most revealing speaker out there without any forgiveness of bad recording. I do use DSP EQ and a roll off of .5db per 1000 hz from 1000hz to 20Khz so ... 
How much reality do you really need?
What do you mean by real in this scenario you've set up? What are you trying to match? If you're asking can anyone reproduce the experience of a live full orchestra presentation in say Carnegie Hall  with their home stereo, no. If you're asking ca... 
Better to buy a high end network player with a DAC?
Lumin U1 mini doesn't have a DAC but perhaps that's not high end. 
Why audiophiles are different (explained with color)
It’s annoying how this kid presents this like he’s just discovered the holy grail. I want to strangle him.LOL, and the title is misleading. They saw blue as evidenced by art they just never used a single word to describe the color.  
Calling for recommendations: Speakers for a very lively room
