Denon 3910..What next ?
I've got a 2910 upgraded by David Schulte of the Upgrade Co. He carries Denon and Esoteric. I'd suggest giving him a call.http://upgradecompany.com/sales.php 
Floorstanding Speakers - 12'x14' Room
I've got a similar asymmetric listening room. Roughly the same size but w/8' ceilings. What's the power rating on the Linn amp? I have Forests and think they would work for you. (Not to say the other speakers won't work - just not familiar with th... 
A weird thing happened to my Red Wine Audio 30.2..
"I returned home and hooked it back up to my system and, bingo, it was great sounding again."THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS! Dude- you had a bad dream. Don't eat a big bowl of chili before bedtime. Enjoy your system and don't obsess. :-)(and another thin... 
Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp?
Electroid, Jefftsefu et al - Thanks for the input. Ran into some obstacles space-wise and speaker termination-wise so the experiment is on hold for now. Again, thanks for the helpful suggestions. 
Bi-amping Snell Speakers Anyone?
Might the difference in loudness be due to differences in the sensitivity of the driver(s) handling mids and highs vs that (those) handling low frequencies? 
A weird thing happened to my Red Wine Audio 30.2..
Good comment from Cruz123. Base your confidence on what your ears tell you in a familiar listening environment and with familiar ancillary gear. What speakers do you own vs those used in demo at the store? Also, maybe your room dimensions/acoustic... 
Village Vanguard session with Bill Evans
Dazzdax - so glad you enjoyed the stuff at that link. I neglected to give credit to my brother-in-law (a gifted musician in his own right) for showing it to me and enabling me to share it. I'm a relative newcomer to jazz and Bill Evans specificall...

How many times do you play a CD/LP?
I agree 100% with both of Grimace's two posts above. 
Tradeoffs going to a hybrid from all tubes?
Mallarducks - thanks for the input. Would you mind explaining a couple of things?1) Does gain = sensitivity and what does this reflect? Is this db vs output voltage??? and is it manifested as the change in sound level produced by a given change in... 
Tradeoffs going to a hybrid from all tubes?
Egay - Thanks for your input. I was thinking specifically of an integrated hybrid with (as you have in separates) a tube pre and sss amp. 
Village Vanguard session with Bill Evans
Aldavis - Well said! Especially regarding "transcendence" but the potentially subjective nature of that experience is more fodder for discussion! If you "get it" and I don't...is it great art for you but not for me? Doesn't great art rise above th...

BB King said, "It ain't the notes you play. It's the notes you don't...." or so I heard he's reputed to have said. In any case, I don't find DazzDax idea "curious" - it isn't really about "note counting"...that's simply code for another manifestat...

Cutterfilm - If the Hawks are at all like the Forests, be patient. Bass wil come but as BlindJim wrote in another thread on a different topic, "...bass is the last thing to appear". When I first hooked up the Forests I was WAY disappointed in thei... 
Using 2 integrateds to bi-amp?
Electroid - Thank you very much for another good idea. Very helpful. If you celebrate Christmas, I hope it is a very merry one for you and your family. In any case, I wish you a healthy and prosperous New Year.
