Dodson DA-217 vs. Theta Pro Basic IIIa??
Just a guess but we are talking old vs. newer. I would guess the Dot. would put a whippin on the Theta. 
Does bewiring decrease "wholeness" ?
In all the set ups I've used--and I mean ALL--Bi wireing was always a big improvement. (When they give you 4 posts per speaker)--- Jumpers were always less. 
What is best center speaker?
I guess I must be lucky. I have the Von Schweikert LCR35. I don't use a sub so all speakers are set for full.I actually get some rumbling out of this center when I use the THX set up. (At the begining of some of these THX movies.)---This, when the... 
Other Tube Amps that compete with BAT 150SE
I don't know---I love my CJ8xs (triode) 
PayPal Surcharge
Of all the points of view brought up,nobody has brought up the fact that with paypal and you are trying to buy a hard to find item;or maybe this is the hottest price (you want it bad) Paypal can be used to lock you into the deal.--- And the shippi... 
Should cinema be our HT reference?
--No;actually the ans.is quite simple. The # of seats dictates a homogenized version of what we have at home. Otherwise everybody seated on the extreme sides would only hear from their nearest speaker,most of the time.

Every make a purchase you truly regret?
Way to go Paul.Confession is good for the ?? whatever-- I doubt there are many dealers in the world whom would make such a disclosure. ( To their wives maybe;but not to us.) I still own one piece that I overpayed on; sounds like crap; and now won'...

B&K AVR 307 DAC or Pioneer 47Ai DAC?
Definitely use a coax to the B&K. 
Optical v. Coax digital audio cables
>without regards to cost> ? In a home theatre environment the toslinc does well. For 2ch--that's different. I am forced to use toslinc out of my HiDef sat. set top box--going into my Meridian processor. The sep. amps,speakers and wires I use...
