Audio Aero versus Metronome : the French clash
French Clash... That's comical! 
Best 51" Projection HD TV?
Add a few hundred and you can get a JVC 52" LCoS. I am happy with mine. The newer model looks even better and has the built in tuner and cable card you are looking for. Better: add a few hundred more to that, and get the Sony 50" LCD rear projecto... 
Jolida Envoy Preamp
Its better than Moo Fidelity aint it! 
PS Audio Ultimate Outlet vs. UPC
Simaudio CDP, Sony DVD, and Samsung DLP, to UPC. Simaudio i5 direct to power outlet. Voila! 
Subwoofer Connection
Surely it will sound different. Better? Worse? Who knows. I would suspect that, if improving the two channel sound is what you're after, this may not be ideal. Simply because the crossover circuit in the subwoofer will probably have a negative imp... 
Bargain interconnects to tame treble & boost bass?
I recommend Harmonic Technology Truthlinks. The Triangles are revealing and so is the Bryston. Though I like them both quite a bit. At any rate, as long as you have this combination you will probably want a cable to help smooth it out. Especially ... 
The choice of wall receptacles
Porter Port bested my old Hubbell something or other. Highly recommended. 
Best processor that is excellent for 2 Ch music
I agree James. Though, it may be a tough squeeze to get a Bryston for under 1500. The Bryston has the best two channel performance of all the Pre/Pros I have used. Again you're right, it has a completely separate analog preamp two channel section....

Plinius 9200 with Spendor s8e?
Doh, you said Totems. I thought you said Triangles. No wonder you asked what the heck I was talking about. I am glad you like the Spendors. I have been thinking about bringing a pair home for a heart to heart!Sorry for not paying more attention. 
Plinius 9200 with Spendor s8e?
Whenever I have heard Triangles I've found their sound to have perceptably flat upper frequency responses. Not overly so, and in fact, this "flat" or "nuetral" presentation is the particular sound that I personally gravitate torwards. (not always ... 
Plinius 9200 with Spendor s8e?
If the Spendors are new give them some break in time. Maybe a hundred hours or so. New driver tubes may brighten things up. Seimens 6922s come to mind. I admit though, my knowledge and experience with tubes is limited. (you may be able to change t... 
Does anyone hear Bryston pre-amp BP26?
Chazz, the ST and SST nomenclature refers to Amplifiers, not Preamplifiers as this particular thread is discussing. I digress, having owned both ST series and SST series amplifiers, I can assure you there is a difference. Forgive me, the differenc...
