how did you find "the gon"
I had traded in a pair of speakers on another speaker at my local dealer in 2002. He said he had them sold already to a guy in Texas. When I asked how he had them sold so fast..., he responded "Audiogon!" I mentioned that I had heard of it and he ... 
Is 9'x11' too small?
Its definately small, but you could do well to treat the room and go with some small stand mounted monitors and listen in the near field..pulling the speakers into the room should give some excellent results. The key is to not let the room interac... 
Comments on Thiel CS2.2 speakers
Tom,Having owned both, I dont think I'd give up my 2Ci so quickly for the 2.2. More of a lateral move, and just different sound. The 2.2 will have more detail and resolution, but are also leaner and somewhat more Vivid in their presentation( some ...

Wife approval factor?
Look at my system post and you will see that used to be a living room! I am very lucky also. My wife smiles and tells everyone that it's the music room now. She's not bothered in the least with the stuff hung on the walls and stuck in the corners.... 
Upgrade or sell ARC LS-15 ?
No not at all. Pick up the Cardas rca-xlr adapters readily available. They are a high quality adapter that wont degrade the signal in the laest IMO and will allow use of the 5. You may need a pair for your output to your amp also.(XLR-RCA config) ... 
Upgrade or sell ARC LS-15 ?
Mbonn-I was in your situation not too long ago. I concidered the GNS with the Reference upgrade for my 15 and called Steve at GNS. We spoke at length and he basically said that even with the upgrade, the 15 will not be as good as an LS5 MkII or II...

Transport for Tri-Vista 21 DAC
My buddy uses an older Cary 301 as a transport with his 21 DAC linked with a Kimber digital RCA cable. Both tube units seem to match up pretty well. He bought all his stuff from John at Audioconnection and seems very happy with it. I wouldn't go s...
