Who makes quality sealed box speakers?
Bigtee, can a passive radiator design really be called sealed? I think technically it is not. But I'm sure someone will correct me if this is not correct.supporting evidence #1supporting evidence #2 
Moving to separates
Nice to see you back Tom/Tpsonic. Adcom is as good of a place as any for you to start, Ivyinvestor. Lots of us started with Adcom. i started with Audio Alchemy, which is abotu the same thing, but just a tad more lush sounding (and a bit more unrel... 
Opinions, Is this better for the Members?
How would someone leave bad or neutral feedback for a flaky buyer that backed out of a deal with the new feedback system? I think that deserves a feedback, too, even though no transaction took place. That's an important piece of info. And somethin... 
Can you ever go back and be happy?
Opalchip, two dynamic speakers position like that will be dipoles, and sound like it, but planars they won't sound like. You will still have the sonic contribution of cabinet colorations unless you use high quality and possible expensive dynamic s...

I want to hear what you have to say bout my HT

What sub for music budget
Dayton kit or DIY with hypex plate amp or Adire kit or DIY with same amp. 
Speaker Wire for a non-anal listener
If I may ask, why does the wire need to be flexible? I only ask because I would have recommended TMC (the-music-cable) Gold speaker cable. Oh, wait, sorry. you asked for 10-15feet. Nevermind. I'd check out ELF or Signal Cable or Bluejeans cable. 
Best Speaker Placement Rules you've used?
5 feet out farther that she likes. :) 
Do you remember your first cd?
Metallica Black album in 1991. I played it on a $10 sears CD boom box, we bought at a garage sale. That was my first CD and my first system. Previous to that I just had a clock radio with a tuner. Music was just something I made myself or I listen... 
Best SACD player for the money - Marantz SA-11S1
DCaudio there was a single disc 555ES in europe. Maybe that was part of the confusion? 
Our we Lazy?
tubes cross over and just sound REAL. even the best solidstate cannot do that. But the best SS can sure get darn close enough. But even in the ultra high-end, price no object, you still have to use tubes to get that last bit.
