Your new plan looks outstanding. Is this the same room?
Did you ever try vertical bi-amping and how did it work out for you?

I'm not referring to SS and tube amps together for bi-amping. I was referring to one 275 amp for each speaker w/ one channel for highs and the other for lows. This way the power supply only has to push one woofer which requires more from the PS than the highs, resulting in greater ease of presentation. As far as expense, all you need is an appropriate speaker cable for the highs.

Boy oh boy, everything you have is so perfectly chosen. Your electronics would really make my Altecs sing a new song. I see that you are using two Mac 275 amps. Have you considered vertical bi-amping your Dali speakers?
