Amp for Vienna Acoustic Beethoven speakers
I had very good experience with the BAT VK5i and Ayre V3 combo with my VA Beets 
Considering HDCD players
I have to agree with Newbee... go with the BAT 
Muse Model Nine vs ?
I had a nine sig gen one that I upgraded (read they kept the old and sent me a new) nine sig gen 4. Cost $1800, worth every penny...I haven't heard the 10 (or the 11) but I'm very excited about them hitting the used market! 
B&K avr307
I've had alot of stuff (up to $80,000 in two channel high end) and I think this (AVR307) was the best rcvr on the market. It does everything VERY well. I have not compared it to the 507, but it blew away the Denon and everything else I put it up a... 
Preamp for Krell KSA 250 and Thiel 3.6?
Krell KBL goes GREAT with the KSA250, but it has a outboard power supply as well. 
Component Video Cable Diminishing Returns?
I haven't seen any of the cable of to which you refer, however, I have noticed considerable differences from cable to cable. between componenet cables and between s-video cables, not so much between different composite cables though. I'd go with t... 
Speaker setup for HT in $2000 range
I have a similar size room (16W x 27L x 10H) and I'm using Def tech BP8 front CLR2002 center B2X sides and SM350 back with a PF15 sub. Very nice results (and you could use the SM350 for your other room) 
Muse model 9 sig or audio aero prima?
I have to agree my Muse Nine Sig Gen 4 is pretty pectacular. 
Denon and Polk Combo
I used some older Polk 5B (large monitor) with a new Denon rcvr with good results. 
Why do people selling on E Bay "USE" Audiogon?
I'm with Jenney as well. I've been here since the begining and only lately I've been getting people wanting to buy stating "check my feedback on eBay". They, only they, and 100% are the ones that make promises and don't carry through. I'll send mo... 
2-Way Floorstander, $1500
I have a pair of Focus FS78 for sell that would work nicely (comparable to the Wilsons....if your more familar with that brand). E-mail me for details.Jon 
B&W N803 versus Dynaudio Contour 3.4
I think you'd have an easier time matching the B&W stuff in a HT setup. 
OK, best speakers for 2500 USED......
Vienna Accoustic Beethovens. I've had the combo you speak of(including the VKD5). It's great together! 
Vienna Acoustics and cable
Discovery 1-2-3 worked well with my Beethovens. 
Does your BAT?
BAT's don't like the PS Audio PP. It was all over their (PS Audio) website about 2 years ago.
