I'm in a bit of a time crunch, but I'll try to answer the best I can...

Welcome back to AOS!

I've not seen those Sonus Faber speakers before - are they designed to match up with the subwoofers?

I'm particularly curious about the Q-UP automatic tonearm lifter --- does that work OK / safely?
The Sonus Faber's have been out about a year or two now. Great sounding little monitors, punchy bass, sweet mids, detailed and smooth top end. The subs are Polk Audio, but they match up pretty darn good with the monitors thanks to the analog crossover in the Halo P5 preamp.

The Q-Up works great. Take a bit of fiddling to get it positioned right with the right amount of force to lift the arm without throwing the arm way up in the air.

Subs are powered. Polk PSW505. Crossed at 70 Hz, the monitors crossed at 50 Hz.

What's the doohickey in front of your Oppo 105?
Looks like its in the front HDMI port?
It's the Ruko dongle thing. It is plugged into the front HDMI with a 90 degree angle adapter so it isn't sticking straight out.

It's excellent! I love it! I can't wait until my 2M Bronze comes in this week. It's going to be fun!
