Axpona observations
You really said nothing of substance about how any of the rooms sounded, except to say the German Physics room was disappointing. All fluff, no stuff. 
soundcraftsmen 900x2 lack of clarity?
That's a pretty old amp there, and I don't remember it being very highly praised even in it's day. Why not try something different? 
Wilson Audio MAXX resistors

Sjofen The Clue speakers

Chayro,I completely agree about Ramatam. I had the album because he was on it, but poor Mitch must have needed a paycheck pretty bad to join those scrubs.

If you don't need 2 systems, sell the one with the ProAcs, and use the money to repair the Genesis speakers. 
Capacitor log Mundorf Silver in Oil
Volleyguy1,You were probably thinking that you wanted to have money left over for groceries! They are expensive for mere mortals. I would have loved them in my DAC too.
