Pain in my butt
Damn Rabbit! Seriously, is it just something that heals on its own? My mom had a ruptured disc years ago and first treatment was lay/lie (?) around for weeks and hope it corrects itself and if that didn't work-which it didn't--surgery. She's fine ... 
Velodyne ULD-18 or Audio PHysic Rhea sub....
"The Velodyne HGS series have the lowest distortion and flattest frequency response of any subwoofer"There's a Swedish engineer with a subwoofer claiming 140db dynamic range--they say its "the best in the world." I'm sure it could hold its own wit... 
Why bi-wiring is bad
I'll just chime in off-hand, and not too technical (cause I don't know'em all and I'm tired). But alot of the biwiring hype is crap, I think. Alot of speakers feature dual binding posts simply as a selling point (fact) and most systems really don'... 
Sibilance how do I get rid of it?
"I knwo that I should ( and AM in the process of)addressing the room itself carpet is in order and some accoustic paneling to kill the early reflections,should I do this first?"You've got the acoustics of a grade-school cafeteria --linoleum floors... 
NHT SW2P not enough?
"I've heard lots of different things about two subs -- it's good, it's bad . ."Its never bad, you won't create problems. Lots of professionals have setups with stereo subwoofers. Question is just "what's best for your setup and wanting more output... 
NHT SW2P not enough?
Or sell your current one and buy a bigger, badder one altogether. However, subs are the perfect first time diy endeavor if that's an option and/or of any interest. (A driver + an amp + a box). But if you want "impact" for "HT transients" from the ... 
Enacoms for bright speakers?
Looks like piece of junk to the extreme. Maybe someone can explain how it works I'd be interested. The signal coming down my wire/cable is fine. I just get speakers that reproduce that signal accurately to begin with. That thing probably messes wi...

Electrostatic vs. Boxed vs. Ribbon?
Sorry, correction, Page 5 of the second link begins discussing transducer types. But the "loudspeaker evaluation" on page 2 may still be worth reading (I didn't read it though so be careful-although ava is credible). He also discusses piezoelectri...

The Best Amplifier Ever ?
The Dynaudio Arbiter was about $100,000 pr solid-state monoblocs with $96,000 solid-state preamp. 
Time coherence - how important and what speakers?
"Science has proven a bumble bee can't fly but it does"While I won't disagree with most of your statments, science never proved a bumble bee can't fly. Technically, science can't prove anything. We/science never proved all objects fall to the grou... 
Why low sensitivity speakers?
I though it was 1)output 2)extension and 3) volume (as it pertains to LF analysis). I don't know why but it is hard to get deep bass and high efficiency out of a subwoofer. But the overall system sensitivity is usually at the mercy of the least ef... 
Time coherence - how important and what speakers?
http://sound.westhost.com/ptd.htm"Do think this is an important issue?"Its certainly something to strive for and can be easily attained. However, when price becomes a factor it may not be something one should get hung up on- as there are other thi...
