Which Sub Woofer is good for my 2 channel system
I use a Velodyne HGS-12. It is small, tight and has flat response down to 20htz. Very powerful but refined.

Any good hi-fi shops in KC? 
Upgrade path from a B&W N805.
Try some Thiel 2.4s. You'll never look back to B&W again.Just my opinion. 
Cars. What does the typical audiophile drive?
Just got my Mercedes-Benz E500 last week. Has the Harman Kardon Logic-7 premium sound system that is quite nice. Oh 0-60 in 5.8 sec is nice too! 
Processor Loop for 2 channel?
Zackmun,Why do you need a cable sending signal from the Preamp to the Processor? I'm not sure why this would be necessary. Also, I've never read that on the Adcom preamps that the processor loop provided a Unity Gain pass thru. Does this mean the ...

Jsawhitlock,Is it safe to float the ground on a huge amp? Anyone?

McCormack DNA-2 DLX balanced input impedance
I am aware of the SMC upgrades. This was an inexpensive mod to alter the input impedance only. They seemed to indicate that I should not use the XLR inputs until doing this. 
Best imaging stand mounted speakers?
Hi Fi,How much do the Piega's sell for? 
B&W 804 nautilus OR Revel f30
Look at Thiel 2.3s They were much more refined to my ear than the B&W, and look a whole lot better than the Revel. I did like the Revel sound but in the end the Thiel was a better all around package to me. 
Cincinnati, OH, any audiophiles?
Ron,Progressive has a demo Arcam FMJ CD23 player that sounded excellent for $1700. I would check it out if I were you. 
Best amp for ThielCS6.
I use a McCormack DNA-2Dlx with my 6s and have been very pleased with their presentation. The McCormack has the power for these hungry speakers and the finesse to keep them sounding very musical and pleasing. I am currently using Alpha Core Goertz...
