Rowland Model 1 w/ B&W 802N
Ratherman, VERY nice rig. The Snell A III i's LOVE power. I'm so green with envy : ) Have you tried vertically biamping them? You might like that-I know I did. 
Krell and CJ?
Krell, especially the FPB series on, and very especially the 600 is the furthest thing from hard and sterile when properly set up and nourished. It outputs what it is fed and CAN BE one of the most musical amps on the planet. It's like a 600watt T...

Opinions on why this system is uninvolving
Also Had a pair of Snell AIIIi's a number of years ago and have found almost every speaker (20+) since quite uninvolving. I feel your pain, the Snells were thrilling to look at, and to listen to. Absolutely amazing transient and dynamic cababiliti... 
tapestries and posters help with sound absorption?
GMC/Lugnut Thanks for the info. I am concerned too about airborne fiberglass fibers in the air and that's important in considering the material. I had built some room treatments in my last house with 2/4's and fiberglass insulation batts and notic...

It's Magnepan 20.1's or B&W Nautilus 801's
I agree with a lot of comments here but have to say I do have personal experience from the perspective of the same sized room (approx). I've owned the 801N's and Maggie 3.5's. I'd like to urge you to listen to these both before you purchase them I... 
Advice on building a dedicated listening room.
Jvogt, nice post. I just did a room very similar in my last house also, including drylock, etc. Did not do the floor s with studding though. What is the reason for studding the floors? (BTW, if you do stud any studs that meet the concrete should b...

How to Achieve Great Imaging & Soundstage
Seems to me there is a lot of good info on these responses. Trying to limit the redundancy, I've always found that you can get just about any equipment to image it's best with 2 simple steps:1) Pull the speakers as far out from the back wall as po...

Should I upgrade my Krell FPB 200c to cx300?
Mcx also optimizes balanced inputs by speeding up non CAST connections to make them sound much faster than non Mcx non cast connections. Don't sweat the tube pre, I'm sure it sounds fine. You don't need to have all cast to benefit, but when you do...

Lugnut do you mean the pink foundation insulation? Have you tried this?
