Klipsch, high end?
Klipsch's are great........if you want to play your music or movies super loud! Not much detail at any volume level though. 
Sub Connection Help
Definitely a REL. The ABC(?) connection taps into your amp output so it gets the same signal as your speakers but it does not present a load to your amp. Combine that with crossover adjustments of 2Hz to intregrate your speakers. Call Sumiko or e-... 
Does sub cable also have to be high end?
Sub cables absolutely will make a difference. Does your bass performance improve when you use better speaker wire and/or interconnects? Then, why wouldn't your sub? 
DLP Rear Projection HDTV ???
The only thing to worry about is the reliability of the new technology. I believe, so far, it's just Texas Instrument who is building the DLP chip. If you ever get to see the chip, it is truly amazing. The chip has a mirror surface of approximatel... 
I am curious about line conditioners.
Basically the power conditioner will "clean up your power". It will filter out the AC noise (such as RF & EMI)picked up by the giant antenna (all wire ran from the power station to your equipment) that exist in your powerline, thus your equipm... 
Sonus Faber s Integrated Amplifier?
My fault. SF does not "test" with them. They design their speakers with them, even the Amati's. That's the word from people from Sumiko and on their website. www.sumikoaudio.com/musica.htm. 
Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers
Have you hear the newer Sonus Faber's with the new tweeters and drivers? They sound different than the old ones. 
I NEED HEADPHONES....NOW
The Grado SR325 or the Sennheiser HD600. I would go with the HD600's if you have something to drive them with. They come alive with power although the bass does not compare with the Grado RS1's. 
Putting together a new system
I believe the most important piece is the one you plan on keeping the longest! 
Sonus Faber s Integrated Amplifier?
I've heard the Musica with the Guanari's and it sounded great and effortless(lack of a better adjectives). It is beautiful if you ever get to look at one. It doesn't come with a remote though if you care. It is actually built by a German company. ... 
Pioneer Elite DVC 36 DVD versus DV 37?
3-2 pulldown is the conversion of film to TV. Film is shot with 24 frames per seconds where TV is 30. The reason it is called 3-2 pulldown is because the player will take 3 frames of film and convert it to three frames of tv, then 2 frames of film... 
Best Sub - Rel or Vandersteen
I've never heard the Vandersteen but I love the Rel. If you have any questions on any Rel subs, call Sumiko and they'll be more than glad to help you. Their site is Sumikoaudio.com to get the phone #. 
SACD Dominates Recommended List
If you want to hear what the SACD is capable of, get yourself a copy of the Red Rose Music SACD sampler. It is recorded directly onto DSD. It blows away any other SACD's I've heard from anything else. 
Home theater advice?
I would look into getting a different direct tv HD receiver. I think the RCA will need some computer video adaptors to connect to your Elite. Panasonic does 720P but your TV does not and it is super slow. A Mitsubishi or a Sony HD receiver would b... 
Which Sub breaks the house down??
Run 2 MX5000's by M&K!
