Need more punch from my B&W802 III HT setup
Actually, for the record, sounds like youre problem is your set up! you can forget getting WORLD CLASS BASS from your speaker run "full range" for HT!!! The reason your old OM6's had so much stronger sound bass and dynamics run "full range" for Ht... 
I can't make up My Mind Please Help...
Spetula, I'm not familiar off hand with the sound of the Infinitys you have currently. Are you changing them?As for preamps, you can do a lot of things for 2 channel. If you want to do solid state preamps, my experience(besides doing passive pream...

Same monkey, different cage.... 
Is 5.1 Really This Bad?
HOw many times have we all heard AWEFUL SOUNDING 2 channel systems!?! Just because you sat down infront of one of those some time, doesn't mean ALL 2 channel set up's suck!.Case rested... 
Plugging powered speakers in....??
Seeing that we're only talking about BASS, and not midrange/tweeter, you're fine plugging in the speakers to your outlet for best sound! There's really not going to be any significant improvement going into any filter or conditioner. INfact, you'l... 
I can't make up My Mind Please Help...
For the record, either of these two units are going to have likely similar potential as analog preamps. They're still going to be ultimately surpassed by better dedicated 2 channel preamps in terms of sonic purity, musicality, soundstaging, etc. T... 
Need Help on Dedicated Listening Room
Inherently, especially with lesser experience in dealing with small room acoustic challenges(like you said,BOOMY!), it's often easier to get better overall response and balance from your speakers in a larger room..I agree. There are usually more p... 
any comments on the rotel 1066 surround processor?
yes, the Classe will not have the newer features, if this are things you need. The Classe won't have 7.1, Dolby Pro Logic II, 24/96 or 192 DAC's, etc. Although, if you use only 5.1 or 2 ch, do your processing of higher order digital formats(SACD/D... 
4 Velodyne HGS-15's or 2 Velodyne HGS-18's?
A lot whould depend on the volume of the room/space being driven. However, It's my experience that you're NOT LIKELY to have "too much woofer", as long as you correctly match volume(s) with the main speakers. For the record, most people have the s... 
Can anyone talk to performance of Thiel CS7.2's?
I've sold the 7.2's for some time. They are very refined sounding, and all a lot of casual music listerners would likely ever need I think. With some great gear to accompany them, they will do wonders with vocal, insturmentals, light pop/rock/acou... 
Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD?
Tsrart, your theories are largely incorrect for your reference. It really doesn't work that way. What happens is largely that drivers(usually the tweeters first) get blown from being UNDERPOWERED when asked to handle more demanding levels! The amp... 
Bryston 7B Vs. Krell KAV250a
OOoops. Let me retract those coments towards "Pbb"..they were supposed to be to Dave1117, who refered to the "advertising" issues 
Bryston 7B Vs. Krell KAV250a
Adressing Dave1117 and Pbb's coments regarding what I said...First off(Dave1117), I think this gengtleman was discussing the Bryston 7b mono's, and not the 14b which you own. I was refering to ONLY THE 7B'S when I said "the Brystons"! I've heard t... 
Need Help on Dedicated Listening Room
Is your room a "closed-in" 11.5 X 13 X 10? If it is, you will most certainly be challenged by unavoidable bass modal problems as your first obstacle to deal with. Set up will be critical for best speaker to speaker location, including seating poss... 
Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD?
Ooops!..I meant Dunlavy SCV's, not SCIV's!(when refering to the Dun's being overdriven...sorry.
