Hi-Fi Shop in Colombia, SC
Dukes is excellent (been there), and Read Brothers Stereo in Charleston is the best stereo shop IMO...super knowledgeable and nice. Ask for Tom, Marian, or Bill...wish every town had a Read Brothers. 
Hi-Fi Shop in Colombia, SC
From personal experience, I can tell you NOT to go to Upstairs Audio. I purchased a $450 used CD player from them, was told it was still under warranty and that they would honor that. When it stopped reading CDs 2 weeks later, they refused to hono... 
Anyone heard one of these? Are they the best now?
Yo, TDK be BUMPIN, and yo BBQs gonna be DOPE! Daaaaang, they is gonna be some fly honeys all up in there cause TDK is KABOOM, yo.

Take him to court. 
I think they're making fun of us...
Sounds like Bybee's ads. 
Amplifier recommendation for Spendor SP3/1P
Used to own these before I moved into a larger space, and IMO they liked an amp w/some SS current. I "drove" them w/a 25W NAD receiver but had NO idea what they could do until I heard them in front of an Aragon 8008. Mine tended to be loose in the...

NAD 2600 and thumping noise
Not normal for this amp...the relays are shot and need to be replaced.

Clearly, someone has added some green cylinder-type devices and circled them with yellow wire. They have also added some silver and yellow ones and done the same. There appears to already be enough wire, so why add more I have no idea. Very, very ... 
Anyone have experience with "burn-in generators"?
Light them on fire (?) 
Where's the trade off?
I have a novel idea: Sell everything and buy an NAD C317 and pair of B&W DM 602s. My little NAD 7225 stomps all over many of today's gear in musical terms and has stood the test of time for the very reason you mention...it makes you want to li... 
how low can you go?
110 will not hurt anything. 
Spendors comparable to Harbeth C7ES3?
I have owned Spendor 3/1s, 3/1Ps, 2/3s, and now 1/2Es (circa '97). The SP1/2Es are what I would take a look at (some are labeled SP1/2 but are really E versions BTW) if you want music that approaches decent volume without overloading the bass. It ... 
Which cables cause issues for high bandwidth amps?
Man, I would not even THINK of using the same cables when you get your amp back! 12ga stranded will work fine IMO. 
Programmable remotes
I use a Logitech w/Marantz, NAD, and Samsung TV/DVD. In 30 minutes, I had all codes downloaded off site, and it works perfectly...love it.
