Best A/V Receiver Under 700
Outlaw is a good alternative. Can't beat the price. Talk to underwoodwally here on Audiogon if you want more info. I personally use a Marantz SR-7000, which you should be able to find for less than $700 new. The Marantz is excellent on HT and does... 
Small footprint speakers
I second the Soliloquy recommendation. The 5.3 goes down to 35 and the 6.3 goes down to 25. I own a pair of 6.3s and a pair of 5.0 monitors. Love them both and they are priced very competitively. Even cheaper if you can find agood used pair. Good ... 
Help with NHT 3.3 s
Try to get your hands on the "magic formula" for speaker placement. I think I saw it in Stereophile Guide to Home Theater. I haev also seen reference to it here. Try a search for speaker placement. I believe one the premier loudspeaker manufacture... 
Ideas for audio related jobs in Boulder/Denver?
Jeff Rowland Design Group is located in Colorado Springs.Good luck. Great place to relocate to. 
monitor w/ bass?
I agree with the B&W recommendations above. The 805N is awesome but expensive. The CDM-1NT comes pretty close for a lot less money. If cost is a factor, try a pair of Soliloquy 5.0s. They give the B&Ws a serious run for a lot less money. S... 
Speaker dilema? Maggies, Newforms, or Merlins
I have no personal experience with any of these, but I know that Final has major discount available on their 0.3s right now if you want to consider another alternative. I got an email from them offering them for $1,299 through the end of this month. 
Cable suggestions
Find some used Audioquest for the speakers. You should be able to find some Green, Type 4, or maybe some Type 6 at that price for short lengths. I have no idea other than Monster for ICs at that price. Whatever you end up with, give it time to bre... 
Bi-wire using single or two cables?
I would go with Type 6 bi-wire over double Type 2. For just a few dollars more, you might be able to get into a pair of Indigos. I am a big fan of AQ's older product lines. Type 6 uses the same configuration as AQ's higher-priced Indigo and Argent... 
New Audioquest cables vs. Old?
This response may be a little off-subject, but I refuse to buy the new line because there is entirely too much cost differential. I currently own Green, Type 2, Type 6, Indigo, and Argent speaker cables. I think that Argent is the best bang for th... 
Musical Fidelity HT600?
Eye, I had the same concerns that maybe this model was selling cheap because it was about to be discontinued. Based upon the response I got from AA and the fact that MF website shows it as a current product, I hope that this is just a stocking iss... 
Musical Fidelity HT600?
The response I got from Audio Advisor is as follows: "We are out of stock at this time. We will have them back in stock in a while. We just took it off the site in the mean time." Musical Fidelity website still shows it as a current model and Audi... 
Musical Fidelity HT600?
Does anybody know what's up with this? I visited the Audio Advisor website a while back and it looked like they were blowing these out cheap. Went back today and could not find it anywhere on site. When I did a search, I got a price of $995, but w... 
Best Monitor Up To 5K - Tube Friendly
Your problem appears to be one of synergy. I think that Soliloquy and Silverline both build great products. I'm not sure they work well together though. Why not try a more flexible sub, like a REL, if you really like the Silverlines? You can get a... 
Can any Audioquest Midnight be biwired?
These cables can be sent back to AudioQuest for re-termination. I contacted them last year and the price was reasonable. Send them an email. This cable has been discontinued, so if you keep your eyes open you might find a good deal.
