Audio Lessons Learned - post your best advice for the newer members!
Looks like an advertisement for McIntosh. Nothing wrong with their equipment but you should have learned SS amps are like DACs. If you like the meters and bling that's fine but you can get a good amp a lot cheaper. 
Upgrading from Thiel 2.7 to Sonus Faber or Focal???
Maybe  give Kef  reference a listen.  
Pro Mid field monitors vs audiophile speakers.
The Hedd and Focal would both be better so I see no downside. You might widen your search and include Genelec, Adam and Neumann. Any of these would give you a more accurate presentation and clear the mushiness. 
A stupid question for which there's no sensible answer.
The reason room and speakers and EQ.  are mentioned is because that's about 90% if he does nothing with those it's a waste of time and money.

Thanks George but perhaps someone who understands the question might answer.

This graph https://ibb.co/MS3xC6M I have seen on other forums but I never quite understood it. Is it showing that the impedance at 20Hz is .005 Ohms which stays fairly flat to 1Khz then rises to .05 Ohm at 20 Khz? The phase shifts 70° from .025 Oh...

George you might like the Adam S3V, it has newest ICE amps switching at 1Mhz on the woofer and Mid driver and their own AB amp matched to the tweeter.

I probably would like the Kii 3, I like the Dutch and Dutch, Buchardt, Genelec, Adam. I also like Revel and Kef passives. This list isn't all inclusive.

Congratulations George you figured out how to make those Ncore modules sound like bad 1980's tube amps.  
Best 9 channels power amp?
