Sound Application line conditioner experience?
I did have an earlier model (plain X,I think) Sold that puppy,pronto.(( It did retail for 4300,but I never understood why.)) I moved on to the Adept Response and am still happy after 2 years. 
Bert kaempfert??
I am a fan. I have a 4 of his cds. Once in a while they play him on Music Choice (cable). They post some tidbits on each artist they play and said he was held by the allies after WW2. IMO he sounds a bit like Ray Connif,sans vocals. 
Any Disadvantage Using DVI-HDMI Adapters?
As I don't know your setup I can only relate my experience with adaptors and such. In my case dvi and component are the same. Mt tv,a 3year old Mits /without hdmi--but has dvi. ----I would guess because my tv is only 1080i is the reason. (?) Just ... 
Has anyone ever tried two center channel speakers?
I'm with Michael--if it sounds good to you--go 4 it. None of the detractors should be invited to your home,a? 
Good sounding, small center speaker
I'm with sugarbrie on this. Many need the best and that's ok.---I'm a 2ch guy.--- My mismatched center doesn't go that low so there's less mismatch in that area. To me good clear dialog is #1. I have Wilsons and their center is more money than the... 
A butt-load spent in cables - how much improvemt?
The "how-much-improvement" depends---Lots of money and lots of exuberance/expatiation can make us happy; unfortunatly it seems to never end. I was reading an ad for 6ft. biwire at 17k. Then I think for those cables one should have near that amount... 
What's up with the 'Piano' gloss????
I too was/am amazed at how many have chimed in on this.My speakers are my first ever in piano gloss. I love their looks. I use the swiffer duster and then a micro fiber cloth---so far no marks on my Sophia 2's. 
Synergistic Research Tesla Apex
Ken: the fact that I still use them after say 7 years tells a lot.I bought these at near full retail before I got to this site. (Music Direct)The original box was a poor designed joke.I fried 3 boards over the time. BNC's should have been there fr... 
Synergistic Research Tesla Apex
Not to be raining on anyone's parade but I have read many threads like this/ referring to many products. I am happy that you're happy;to be sure. I do own active x and a quatro box. As I understand it these cables are equal to the price of many sy... 
How to remove a 'press fit' steel ball bearing?
OK here's my shot. Get the sharpest drill bit you can find, and drill a whole in the ball. Then thread this whole. Or maybe better; search out a machine shop; explain your needs and see what they have to offer. 
mono blocks or true bi amping,
It would help to know which amps/which speakers??In many cases less is more. 
it all sounds good, but.....
While horns have their pluses a good pair of full range dynamic speakers can change your opinion for the better;me thinks. 
Blockbuster goes Blu-ray, HD DVD=beta?,
The local BB store @ Chatsworth and Zelzar carries BOTH--(LA,Sanfernando Valley) Blueray just seems to have more studio support;and THAT makes a difference. I have both formats.---Further,I rent from Netflix and they have both. 
If you only upgrade one component in HT what is it
My 5cents worth: Get a Blueray player. 
1080P tv or Projector ???
My viewing habits are like Dave's. I now just use the projector weekends for movies;everythiong else on my Mits,65. ---Projectors just about demand,total darkness.
