How do you know a loudspeaker is the best?
Marakanetz, as a musician, the instrument always sounds much different when you playing it as a musician than when you are listening to it as an audience member. The vantage point is greatly different and some of the sound is likely being inducted... 
Why not more on 845 SETs?
The Gallo Nucleus Reference 2 (with full InSound/OmegaMikro upgrades, no crossovers, three 6.5inch Dynaudio drivers wired in parallel for 9ohm impedance, OmegaMikro wiring throughout, [?] 330 degree CDT tweeter, which more closely matches the dyna... 
Blind Power Cord Test & results
A/B testing just gives me flashbacks to my last eye exam. which looks better to you? A ... or B? A .. or B? A or B? AorB? AorB? Argh! Make it stop! I agree with albert. I prefer long term tests. 
VTL vs Jolida
Try Quicksilver and Rogue. Yes, the build quality and the fact (I believe) that VTL is made in the USA versus (?) China for Jolida (or even ASL) is likely worth the price difference between the two brands. I'd look to Quicksilver or Rogue audio fo... 
How do I get good sounding, clean electricity?
Here are some links I've noted for when I attempt my own AC project - >http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?fcabl&1100220439&openflup&73&4#73http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr_memb.pl?actghtech&1&listflup&zzSean... 
Objects Between Speakers
I have dipole planars. I too got front projection and sold the TV. Also got the audio rack out from between my speakers some time ago (when I was 24). Haven't looked back. I couldn't go back. 
I'm totally confused about Hi Rez formats
I have bought tons of LPs that were of new music made in the last couple years. That stuff is out there. I think my peer Dirtyragamuffin can attest to that as well. For example, I doubt punk music has EVER abondoned the vinyl format. There's a ton... 
What is " lowball"
I think the OBO might be selected by default when you start an ad. But I'm not sure. Someone can clarify I'm sure. If so, that would explain why an ad might have OBO in error. Just a thought. Aaron 
What is " lowball"
significantly below market price. where that is 90% or 75% depends on the item and the people involved. Lowball is well below market price. Also it seems that only white, north american males ro not *like* to haggle. I don't know why. I hate to ma... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
The corner will be a bass maxima. Since the bass will be at it's greatest (maxima) in a corner, it's wise to not place anything sensitive to airborne vibration there (read: 'the audio gear will pick up more vibratations if you put them in the corn... 
Maggies...Measured Amp Power Requirements
I have the 2.5Rs now. They have that midrange dip at c. 1khz. I should measure then with test tones at 70dB SPL referenced to 1khz or lower(rather than 80dB SPLat 1khz)and see if the midrange flattens out. (a la fletcher/munson) With the midrange ... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
YesSaki70, I would try a diagonal speaker placement in that 10x10 square room of yours. 
End of Hi-fi?
Speedball: I think that was one of the orginal ideas of the space program. The cutting-edge developments and technologies performed for the space program were supposed trickle down (as it were) to the civilian or private sector. The trouble is, we...

Thanks for the response.
