Dunlavy SC4 Speakers
I would pay 1800-2000. I've heard of driver failures and its a real headache so there is a little risk involved. I've had a pair and personally unless you like the size I think you can do better. For as big as they are the bass is quite weak at le... 
Integrated or receiver or separates advice sought
If you know you like naim I'd get that. The 5i is right in your price range. 
why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock?
Well like I said last time I updated my iPhone I lost all my notes in the iPhone which had some important things. I have not been able to find any copies of them on the computer. I thought all this stuff was just supposed to be handled you didn't ... 
Berkeley dac2/Alpha USB vs ps audio perfect wave ?
John, What do you mean by hassles in implementation? I have mine hooked up via USB and can't imagine what could be a problem. I've also had not one problem with the optical input either. I'm guessing you may be referring to the bridge? I have not ... 
why did my iphone quit working on Wadia idock?
No I have not updated my iphone for just that same reason it seems like when everything is working good and then you upgrade surely something won't work anymore. I'm not even running IOS 5 on my iphone. It works OK and last time I updated my iPhon...

Berkeley dac2/Alpha USB vs ps audio perfect wave ?
I've not heard the Berkeley but the I have replaced the Bryston dac with the perfect wave 2 and its quite a nice improvement. The direct to the amp feature works great and in my system sounds a little better than my preamp unfortunately I need a p...

Review: Audience AR12-TSS Power Conditioner
Nice review! 
Big, big room -- which 10-20k speakers?
I would get the salon 2s and a new amp and maybe you can add a sub if you feel the need. Another thought would be dynaudio c4s but again you need more power in that room. I'd put half my budget into big awesome power it's going to mean more than a... 
Tube Amps for Revel Salons
I would recommend the parasound JC-1s they are nice sounding they do out off some heat which is why I got rid of mine but they sound pretty great for their low-ish price. Or a pass x350.5 would be nice as well 
SS Amps for C4 Signature II's
Keep us posted on the results of the boulder 1060 if you get it. Sound like a solid choice to me 
Downgrading
The meridian F80 is pretty cool. It sounds great and are a pretty good buy used. It has a digital input so you can hook it directly to the optical out of the Apple TV or airport express for really good wireless sound. The other choice that I highl... 
Tube Amps for Revel Salons
VTL 450 would work or even possibly BAT 150SE I've owned both and I think they give just as much punch as solid state with lots of power. I don't think either will give the classic warm tube sound but they do sound good. If you can say for sure th... 
Turntable arm wobbly? Setup advise
It did seem better with other records. Unfortunately my phono amp made a loud noise and now is not playing sound from one channel and the other channel has a rushing noise coming out. Hopefully something amiss with my cartridge setup would not hav...
