Harman Kardon Citation Amp 12 and B & W Nautilus 803 Speakers
The Citation 12 was much stronger than the 60-watt rating suggests, you'll have no problem at any normal level.  
Townshend or MuRata Supertweeters? Thoughts?
I put cheap super-tweeters on my LS-50s and it transformed them into a real audiophile speaker. I was just a test but it showed they can have a use.  
REL users - do any of you use low level for 2 channel?
REL has a unique connection but my personal experience is that subs sound better using the high level connections. Many think otherwise but I spent a lot of money on my chain of equipment, and I don't want to not use my amp as the source.   
Best High Current amplifiers stable into low impedances
When you get down to the 2 ohm range, it's best to talk to the manufacturer and tell them what loudspeaker you are trying to drive. Specs don't tell the whole story and I would not put a lot of faith in them.   
Ali Baba
If you want the best answer send a picture to the manufacturer. They know what fake cables look like.  
Audio people you've had contact with that proved to be good people.
I can’t drop any big names like you guys but Walt Lewsadder at Woodland Stereo was very kind to a young audiophile. If you know your history he helped Arnie Nudell with the Servo Statik loudspeaker system and sold a ton of them.  
Did you notice....
I'm sure some of you guys have good streaming systems but it's hard to do better than the original format.   
Weak Link in chain as I upgrade from mid-fi?
Upgrade your loudspeakers and add better gear as budget allows.  
speakers identification?
The small speakers look kinda DIY?  
Whizzer cone drivers
I have Moth Audio Cicadas on my TV system, I stare at those whizzer cones all day!   
Recommendation for low to normal level listening a 13.5' x 21' x 8' room
Triangle. Buy the model in your price range. Paper drivers come alive at very low volumes. Tube amp friendly (mostly). Great for jazz and vocals.   
Whizzer cone drivers
Because it works better than not having a whizzer cone?   
Audiophile Jargon Demonstrated
I don't use the official jargon.   
Two amps into one pair of speakers
Not the best practice, the unused amp becomes part of the circuit the working amp is driving. Power is feed back into that amp. Some amps don't like that.   
Need help. I need recomendations for amp, or amp/preamp
Price could range up to $2500. Can you give some suggestions for "not mass market..quality power." Musical Fidelity M5si or even the M3si or a Rogue Sphinx.
