Dedicated Power Lines
There is a difference between a dedicated line and clean power. A dedicated line will suffice in most home owners audio setup, but 'clean power' is something to consider if you have a large amount of dinero into your audio equipment.Clean power vs... 
Dedicated line w/ upgraded parts or power cond?
Had to chuckle about the "electricians know little about 'sound' comment". A good electrician will definately know what clean power is, it's not about just 'sound'. Clean power is a specification itself for various types of equipment, not just 'so...

Lacee, I've currently swapped mine out with Furutechs, do you know of another option? 
Is Focal 726V an upgrade over Monitor Audio RS6 ?

Sun light issues... possibly?
Send them to me, I live in FL and very sunshine experienced. We can work something out when you want them back :) 
b&w suggestions
Depends on what you listen to, 803's are really nice, I own a pair. The 703's I also owned and for rock they are the choice. 803's I prefer since I listen to alot of classical, jazz, etc. Every once ina awhiles I crank up a lil Hendrix tho. 
Speaker cables comparison chart:: Much Needed
I'll say this, I had no idea wires/cables of todays caliber existed. Guess you might say I'm a caveman, fell out my chair looking at some of these cables made today. Glad I stumbled into this forum, no way I could begin to learn even a small perce... 
Speaker cables comparison chart:: Much Needed
