As always you get an owner based bias. Those that vote Merlin own merlin etc. Farmdoc, you will be very pleased with the bass the superbam can provide. Most of my friends look for my sub when listening to my vms setup. They will handle everything ...

I admire the NAD style but do they support the newest digital high def surround formats? 
Speakers for HT/2 channel
I'm interested in the active speakers, especially ATC, but I don't find much about them. I see there is only one US distribution center. Where do you guys find out more about these interesting units? 
What is with B&W these days? soundbars, ipod doc..
If Wadia is creating options for Ipod why don't you think B&W would. It is MUCH more mainstream. The days of spinning discs are coming to an end as memory becomes smaller/less expensive. After all in the quest for audio nirvana taking a spinni...

How do YOU organize your iTunes library?

Blu-ray format... Do you like it compared to DVD?
I just don't get folks who are so in favor of HD downloads. Why spend the money for the download if you can buy a preowned blu for $10-15? Then watch as many times as you like. To download and keep the number of movies I think most of us want you ... 
Bryston 9BST or Krell Showcase????
I like the Bryston for several reasons. First, I find it to be less sharp/bright. Second, warranty. Also, I would make sure my three front channel speakers all match. Sides and surrounds not so important unless listening to multi-channel music.
