Going from Bi wire to Single wire
Yes is it worth removing the back plate on the binding posts and making a semi permanent connection?  Is it difficult to do? 
McIntosh Mx151 vs. Krell Foundation vs Arcam AV 860
Thanks for the input.  You’re not the first to have issues with Arcam.  
Which Monitor Speakers to Consider
Thanks for the suggestions. I have my speakers coming this week.  Picked out SF evolution and Amati center:vox 
Which Monitor Speakers to Consider
My plan is for a 5.1 system and I’m looking at a good AV pre/pro but first priority is amplification as I have an older Yamaha AVR v3900 that Incan use for now. I’d love to hear suggestions for the best outcome for HT and 2 channel stereo in terms...

Thanks everyone. I settled on a pair of Sonus Faber Evolution and and Amati Center.  Now I needs me some good amplification.   
Need suggestions for pre/pro and amp for "hybrid" audio/HT

Which Monitor Speakers to Consider
Thanks everyone for your input esp auditroy for the detailed breakdown; you've made some great points.  I'd like to here from those who have had a chance to listen to Kef vs SF.  Is it worth the difference in cost.

Thanks for the word of caution. It’s seems like an AVR is the easy option for now; the Yamaha Aventage RX 3070 seems to be getting high praises and supports the latest digital formats. I could mate this with a separate amp to handle the audio func...

Greetings,I know an AVR is not the "best" option, anyone have experience with the Arcam AVR 850 and use that with a two or three channel power amp?

Hey guys, can't thank you enough for guiding me through all this mucky muck.  Lots of good info that I need to digest and my head is spinning.  On top of that, I'm trying to get a Sprinter van so I can set up shop for near season of track day/raci...

Greetings,For clarification, I would like to have a "hybrid" system as suggested on the various forums, where theres a separate power source for a two channel audio and the a dedicated receiver (AVR) to run the HT (center/rear speakers).  Also my ...
