Leaning Big Maggies forward
I have the Sound Anchor stands for the 3.6 and it tilts forward and backwards, they recommend tilting forward to bring focus. 
CD input in Audio Reserach
I think, according to my LS1 and LS3 manual, there is a way to adjust the gain by soldering, desoldering something, contact ARC directly. 
Has anyone heard the Norh Le Amp 2 yet?
Yes, I recently received mines and its an incredible performer so far, I did post a brief review here:http://audiocircle.com/circles/viewtopic.php?t=10114 
Preamp or Processor???
Definitely give the used ARC a try, the LS1 cost between 5-600 and you can tube roll for your preference. I was amazed at the sound quality and build of teh unit that I also purchase their SS preamp LS3, both stunning in their performance. 
Anybody hear the new Gallo Reference 3 speakers???
Heard it at the SF HE2003 and was very impress, compared to the big buck speakers they held their own. The bass is very impressive, hope to audition it more in the future. 
Magnepan 3.6r's - are they to much for my room?
You could also talk with your dealer about getting the 1.6 to see how well it works in your room and then possibly upgrading to the 3.6's later for the full value of the 1.6's, a lot of dealer will do this. 
First pre/pro and hopefully last
All those pre/pro's suggested are good but expensive, its seems like they get outdated fairly fast. IF you're more into music get the Outlaw for $800 and spend the money on a good 2 ch pre which makes the biggest difference. Then when new technolo... 
What's the review of Gon'ers on Norh speakers?...
I have the 6.9SM and really like the sound, it took a long time for them to break-in. They are very accurate and the SM do not color the sound at all, it is very inert. The bass is icredible for that size, sometimes it sounds like there is a sub o... 
Best center speakers for dialogue clarity?
Handsdown the Magnepan centers are incredible for dialogs and convey accurate minute details. Its one of those purchases that make your head shake in disbelief at the level of detail reproduction, you can even sense the size of the room when mike ... 
Best sub match for Magnepan 3.5's
I have the ACI Titan II LE that mates well with my 3.6, some say the Vandersteen 2qw and REL Strata III are also a good matches. Check out the new Home Theater magazine for a unique test and review of some subs. 
Magnepan ribbons problems
Cemil,That is highly unusual to be replacing 2-3x/yr. Check your fuse value, better to just change with new ones, you might also post at the maggie users group:http://www.audioasylum.com/forums/MUG/bbs.html 
von schweikert vr3 or magnepan 12qr
Maxwell,Try adding a subwoofer to the Maggies and see if it gets the punch that you want, ACI and REL are 2 brands that should mate well. 
Center channel speaker which excels at dialogue
Have to agree the Maggie center is the best I've heard for dialog regardless of price, you do have to raise your budget to probably around $450 to get a CC1. 
Maggies & Logans: Why so many for sale?
Also people who own Maggies and move to a smaller home have a tendency to sell if the room is too small, they know what it takes to make them sing. 
SAR and equiptments from infected countries?
Incubation period is only if it has a host, meaning person. The virus might be able to live outside a host for maybe an hour.
