Any good shielded mini monitors?
I am not sure if they are shielded, but the Soliloquy SAT5 might be a good option. I have a pair in my bedroom system. Website is www.solspeak.com 
Music in Nike Commercial?
WOW!!! Albert, you don't mess around. 
Need some advice on a good a/v receiver
Marantz SR-7200 is a good option for well under $1,000 new. I've used an SR-7000 for the last 18 months and have been very pleased. Outlaw is a good choice for around $500. 
HELP - I need a cheap pro logic amp & I'm lost -
I would not recommend a Pro-Logic unit. Dolby Digital is the only way to go. You probably want DTS also. If you are on a tight budget, you can skip 6.1, 7.1, Pro-Logic2, etc for now. Please tell us more about your current system and budget if you ... 
Soliloquy bad for HT?
This may seem like a basic question, but have you changed the speaker settings and levels on your receiver to reflect the addition of center speaker? I have never heard a TV have "more natural" sounding voices than a quality speaker. It may be wha... 
Soliloquy bad for HT?
I have used a C3 with a pair of 6.3s without any problems. You might need some more break-in time. Soliloquys really need a long break-in to sound their best. What were you doing before - no center or a different center? I recently read some infor...

You might want to consider the Soliloquy 5.0s also. 
Need Detail/ Resolution with Impact and Weak Bass
Soliloquy 5.0s, or even 5.3s, would be a good alternative for about half the price of the B&Ws. I love the N805s, but the Soliloquys are a much better value, in my opinion. 
Wireless or in-wall speakers - on a small budget
In-Wall or In-Ceiling speakers can range anywhere from $30 to $3,000 per pair and sound quality will vary accordingly. Companies that specialize in custom installations like Sonance, Niles, and Audiosource would be a good place to start. I have he... 
foiled again...
Have your Soliloquy dealer move the 5.3s closer to the wall or even better take them home for a demo. They may sound a little better out in the middle of the room, but they may be fine in a more practical, closer to the wall, position. Unless your... 
Best speaker cable for B&W?
I also think a good pair of used AudioQuest cables would work nicely. Your best bang-for-the-buck would be a bi-wired pair of AQ Argent. However, this will probably set you back $250-$300 used. I think I paid $275 for my 5' pair. If you keep your ... 
Soliloquy SAT5
The SAT5s are very nice speakers for what they are designed to do. They will work well for casual listening, surround speakers, or serious listening with a sub. The 5.0 is a significant step up in capability (and cost, especially if you include st... 
Moral Dilemma
Thanks for the chuckle.Brady 
Best interconnects 2m for less than 200/pr used
I second the recommendation of AQ Lapis, but don't think you can find them for under $200 a pair. You should be able to get Emeralds (one step down) pretty easily for that price. Email me if you are interested in Emeralds, I may be able to help yo... 
swans m200
Contact Audiogon member underwoodwally. underwoodwally@aol is his e-mail. I bought a pair of Swans from him and I am very satisfied. Remember when you compare to LM1s that Swans are active (powered), LM1s are not. Drop me an email if you want more...
