ATI SIGNATURE SERIES 6005 OR CLASSE CT 5300??
Both are fine amplifiers, I have not compared them. My questions is... With such a love affair with the Classe, why go elsewhere? Unless you can borrow something or get one on loan, why kick yourself later? You have pre sold yourself on the Classe. 
Woofer upgrades to Audio Physic Libra's
I would not recommend to change the woofer unless you are qualified to do a lot of homework. If you are after a bit more punch getting a woofer that is 1 or 2 db more sensitive could help, but not necessarily. The woofer in the cabinet has a speci... 
Do you always keep the Amplifier powered on
I have an old Sumo Nine, Pure Class A unit, that has never been turned off... except. I took it out of the system for about 4 months while I used Abletec Mono amps (Class D)... My Electric bill went down about $20 a month!... Now they are both in ...

Opinions on Pioneer CS series speakers
Hi Saki70, I have to agree with Loomis... I do see these go from $100 to $400 on occasion. They can be a bit tubby in the mid bass, but in the right room bass can be surprisingly good. The top mid range and top end are not world class by any means... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
The comment to use steep crossover slopes is for those that can bi amp that still have their crossovers in place.... sorry for any confusion. 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Hi Al, yep, Oh, absolutely. You can increase delay, but you cannot decrease the delay. If any designer ever over compensated with Baffle step compensation or match pad, you cannot remove that resistance or speed up the passive parts inside. On the... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Hi Al, Thanks for the reply. When building speakers, we time drivers are not time aligned on the frontal plane by adding padding/baffle step compensation to change the delivery of the tweeter and mid hitting your ear at the same time. This is bui... 
Is DEQX a game changer?
Hi Guys, I have read several post, but not near all, this may have been addressed. I have no doubt that the DEQX could be a game changer, but it would require Biamping, triamping etc. The biggest problem in any speaker is the crossover. Coils suck...

Just want to add that the USB input is the most current XMOS asynchronous chip. Sorry, should have added that in the first place.

speakers for listener with Tinnitus
Saki70, That Statement is called sarcasm, it went hand in hand with my opening line "impossible question to answer". Sorry for any confusion.Tim 
speakers for listener with Tinnitus
Guys, Impossible question to answer, everyone's tinnitus is different. One guy might ring at 3.5k and another guy ring at 7k... Intensity varies and occasionally multiple frequencies. There is no catch all speaker to fix multiple listeners tinnitu...

Sumo preamp
I used the Sumo Athena in a variety of settings, in the right system, it can be very enjoyable, surprisingly good in fact with the right amp & Speakers, but one system, I couldn't make it sing. No disrespect to Wlutke, but just couldn't agree ...
