@mapman, yes, these floors are lively!  100 year old brick 6-flat with bouncy joists and you're looking at what I believe was originally the subfloor.  I fantasize about soundproofing, but cheaper just to pull the trigger on a house, I think.  Incidentally, your many posts over the years helped to steer me towards the Ohms - thank you!

@2psyop, thanks!  I try to do the best I can in a price range that would have seemed crazy to me 20 years ago, and stay out of the price range that still seems crazy to me now.  I love the Ohms - I'm three years in and can confirm that every good thing you read in the threads is true.  In my current living space they're a bit like a Ferrari on a go-cart track, but they make me happy.  Highly recommended!

@livinon2wheels, the right angle set up works pretty well for me.  One zone physically, two zones psychologically, both driven off the Rogue RP-1.  Couch for the TV with P3ESRs (because I'm in a condo with downstairs neighbors and watch mostly at night), recliner for dedicated listening with the Ohms.  I had to get creative with the floorpan limitations.  I'm actually using the B&K for the P3ESRs, and the PrimaLuna for the Ohms - I know the Ohms are supposed to benefit from solid state damping factor and grip, but I already had the PrimaLuna with KT150 power tubes and was pretty pleased with the pairing.  (And Evan at Ohm advised me that it should work well when I was originally shopping.)  I do flip the amps now and then for a much punchier and livelier sound on the Ohms (sounds great on The Yes Album), but then the cheap excitement wears off and my tinnitus and I start to miss the tubes.  I'm sure there's a perfect goldilocks solid state amp for me, and when I want to make myself crazy I scour the forums and reviews for it.  Just last weekend I talked myself out of auditioning Aragon Palladium II Monoblocks, mostly because 35 years of Class A heat can't have teed them up for anything good in the next few years...
