Suggestions short 3' tall floorstander?
given your existing Totem config, why not go with Forests, and if they are too tall Hawks. You can move the Mite's to the rear. Another option is Mani-2's. I have a pair of Sttafs, and Mani-2's. Wouldn't recommend the sttafs for HT for the same re... 
Can old equip work with today's technology
you should reall look at your post (ie the identical one to this) you made yesterday. There are several replies there. 
Can old equip work with today's technology
I do it - works great. My gear is probably older than yours. Most TV's have RCA audio outs. Just connect them to your pre ins. To do Pandora you need a SMART TV or a streaming device like a ROKU - and they too have audio outputs normally. 
Conrad PV-12 Preamp Sub Woofer output
the easiest solution is a "Y adapter" to split the outputs. Otherwise you could have a tech install another set of outputs for a sub, but depending on how they do it the yield will be the same as the adapter.I take it your sub doesn't have a cross... 
TAD 60
In Northern Virginia - which you would probably want to ship it to try Music Technology. Bill Thalman use to work at Conrad Johnson and knows his stuff. 
Creedence Clearwater Revival - John Foggarty
I have the live CD he did (Premonition) related (I think) to the "Behind the Music" show he was on. I like it quite a bit, but always have preferred his singing voice on the CCR Records. 
Great Overall Career Arc -- Group/Solo
Tom Petty - "Mudcrutch?" , then TP&the heartbreakers, then solo, then back. Does he qualify? 
Great Overall Career Arc -- Group/Solo
thanks Viridian - I think that's exactly the point. We just won't reach a consensus on who's careers were great, nor on which bands were great. eg, I would clearly have Clapton on this list before I would have Robbie Robertson. I can agree with yo... 
Great Overall Career Arc -- Group/Solo
My criteria are great group and great solo careers.ok, just to be a little more provocative, by this criteria I think many of these listed would be disqualified. I had thought of Robbie Robertson - and I like him a lot, but has he really had a gre...

B & K ST 140 repairs
just the fuse holder is broken? And the amp isn't blowing the fuse? you could do it yourself for about $5 in parts. Alse a shop may likely charge you their min rate for the work - usually $60-80 is my guess. The true cost of the work is $5 for par... 
Speaker grills on or off?
I prefer them off provided they are designed to be removed of course (I have some speakers with "socks" that don't easily come off and they are ugly underneath).That said, I always verify they aren't too brite with them removed. 
Any B&K Ref. 30 Gurus out there?
puzzling . . . I'm out of ideas except to check if somehow the zone 2 mute is engaged? 
Any B&K Ref. 30 Gurus out there?
afaik you don't need the remote - it works fine from the front panel. But, do you know that you have the correct sources selected? My recollection is operating zone 2 w/o the remote is confusing at best. But, if you can be sure you have the right ...
