Pink Floyd's Pulse DVD finally
rat shack meter won't work acurately on sub frequencies. 
Thiel SCS3
I use a SCS3 with my CS6s and Powerplane surrounds. For home theater, more info comes from the center than any other channel so you may want to consider having the "matching" center at least. I agree that matching surrounds is overkill for most sy... 
chosing a cassette deck
I had a single deck JVC that had a selector allowing you to play one side, both, or continuous. (Just what you want i think.) I'm not sure if their duals had this but it was a nice player. I still have it and use it once and a while. 
B&W Nautilus 800.....where's the bass?
Just think how good that new front-end would sound on some good speakers!(That ought to get people going) 
B&K Reference 30 ...running hot, hot, hot
My old Ref 30 would overheat and break up just as you describe. Moving it to a well ventilated location fixed this from occuring. 
Sub hookup in a 2ch/HT system with preamp passthru
I do what you are looking for by running the LFE out from my processor to the L RCA input on my Velodyne HGS-12 and a second pre out (My pre has dual outputs which is convenient for this configuration) to the R RCA input of the Sub. I then Set the... 
Speakers That Will Party Hard
I second the LaScala recommendation. PA level sound with Audiophile quality. 
B&W Nautilus 800.....where's the bass?
Someday the B&W will officially join the ranks of Bose. Overpriced and hyped speakers that are easily bested by cheaper speakers by lesser known brands. 
Pondering a pair of Klipsch La Scalas
We used to use LaScalas as my fraternity house party room speakers. It was by far, the best sounding PA on campus. We would also put them outside during day parties and it was amazing how loud they could play yet still sound good. They were physic... 
McCormack DNA1 stability
I have a DNA-2 and use the Zoebel network on the second set of speaker taps. No problems. 
New DD series software from Velodyne is out.
Has anyone seen when the SMS-1 unit is due for release (other than this summer)? I can't wait to turn my HGS into a DD-like sub. 
Cables for Thiel CS6
I am using a McCormack DNA-2 Dlx (300 8ohm, 600 4ohm) with good results. Bought it used for $3000. I'm not saying its the end-all beat-all but it mates well. 
Cables for Thiel CS6
I use Alpha-Core Goertz MI3 with good results.
