The smoothest amp you've heard?
Very good explanation atmasphere. 
Overhead speakers for Atmos 5.1.2 system
Why? You're going to have issues with clarity unless you use something like Trinnov. Have fun during the journey. 
A move has me thinking of a CD changer....?
Denon mis-tracked, so did a Marantz and Onkyo. Good luck. 
Mono solves all
I'm surprised it has made it this long. The guy that started the purple fuse one was a new Goner and it only lasted 3 posts. 
On Hearing and Sensory Adaptation
Interesting, thanks. There's always something new to learn, appreciated. 
A move has me thinking of a CD changer....?

Zu introduces Soul 6
Not getting to listen for 120 days, but to compare to what I have in new listening room.😷 Starts with M and ends with C, 9 letters. And that's Wheezer cones according to oldhvy...

Yes or course read all and a lot, but one... Listen! 
Fuses
My vote goes to George for electronics. MC makes some simple mistakes like series and parallel resistors... The best fuse is no fuse, agreed. Instantaneous CB unless your trying to protect your multimeter... 
Member Make Zero Sense
Been away for awhile. Saw last night and had to count the letters to make sure it wasn't MC. 
AV receiver a better bet than my current setup?
I highly doubt that a Marantz or any AVR will sound better than your Krell and Backert setup. AV receivers just don't sound very good, I have sold all my surround sound amps and preamps after trying for 20 years. AVR's don't come close to the equi... 
The "Snake Oil" Trope
+1 guakus - I agree, fuses are not good. Added resistance in both fuse holders and fuse itself, circuit breakers all the way. For the all my amps and preamp that had fuses, they have been replaced by soldered in silver-plated copper wire + circuit... 
Room treaments
GIK is excellent, but I'm using Vicoustic now. Check them out before making your decision. https://vicoustic.com
