Harry Potter sound
My girlfriend loves Potter. Good observation the sound was excellent. 
Why do music DVD's sound so bad?
Thanks for the encouragement. Movies do sound great with my 2 channel system but I am not as critical. I will try a few of your recommendations. 
Spkr Cables . Can you use 2 diff brands at once?
Not for R-L but you could get away with using different speaker cable for the bass/midrange section. You should have equal lengths on both sides. 
Legacy Whisper-- Opininions
The Whispers sound totally different than the Wilson's. Midrange is massive. I had some difficulty getting the bass to match the midrange. You would think that 4 15's per a side would be overkill. The bass quality is very good from the open air wo... 
Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average??
One step above the Paradigm line. Nice cabinets with 1" mdf. Fair parts. Sound was OK. 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
Golden Tube and Reference Line were solid performers. 
Tyler Acoustics Reference Two VS Revel Studio
I have owned a pair of Custom A212's, Ref. monitor, Ref 2, Ref 2 SE's, and now the Linbrook system. They are all very good performers. I have never heard the Revels but have read good things. Try a pair of Ref Monitors to limit the risk. Home grow... 
How can I solve the harshness of my system's sound
I agree with replacing the preamp. Try something dark like the BAT 3i. 
Gershman's "Cameleon" speaker: An under2K winner?

So how many people are using subwoofers
Powered subs just don't work with music. Disappointed with the REL's. 
Best Speaker with Krell KAV300i
Try getting a speaker that has a slightly darker presentation. Bright sounding speakers would not be a good match. Also stay away from tube friendly speakers like Proac. The Krell will work well with Planar/Ribbon type speakers. 
Volume Controls for CD Players
I like the idea of eliminating a preamp but the sound quality does suffer (reduced soundstage). A good preamp makes a noticable difference. 
Problem with FedEx Ground Shipping?
I have had good luck with Fed Ex ground. They are significantly cheaper than UPS. I also think Fed Ex's tracking system on their website is superior. Try getting your packages delivered to your work. I have had damaged items with just about all ty... 
Best Budget Sub?
Parts Express 1hr kit for $350 is better than most subs costing $1200. 
Which monitor speakers are the most detailed...
Tyler Acoustics Reference monitor has very good midrange and treble detail. They are also not hard to find on this website. Well worth the risk.
