Cables for surround Under carpet
No reason you should be getting feedback unless something is defective. In any case, I use Nordost under the carpet.Kal 
Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating?
Jameswei is correct. However, let me add that inadequately rated wire and contacts will also represent a higher series resistance than larger ones, so you might expect some compromise in performance even if you do not get to meltdown conditions.Kal 
Why do amp A-B switch-boxes have a watt rating?
"The bigger the wire, the more current it can carry."Right. The same can be said for the switch contacts.Kal 
What are differences between Dual 301/401?
I think, in this context, you probably mean Garrard 301/401.Kal 
Benefit of Tri or Quad Wire compared to Bi wire
Thanks. Now, I recall those room dividers. ;-)Kal 
Benefit of Tri or Quad Wire compared to Bi wire
Well, I did miss your reference to "big B&W800's" but I also tried to Google them and could find no references. Can you provide one?Kal 
Benefit of Tri or Quad Wire compared to Bi wire

SME Model 10 How much should I spend on speakers?
"Would it be odd to see a SME Model 10 with Revel M20s and a B15 as speakers?"Odd. That only depends on your perceptions. If you like the way that sounds and it fits your life-style, why spend more money?Kal 
balanced vs unbalanced
1. Rarely but possible.2. Does the amp have a switch to select between the two inputs? If not, you probably need the jumper.Kal 
Strategy and Components Advice Needed
1. That's what it is doing. It is the front channels for HT.2. Line-level preamp outputs.Kal 
Which High-End preamps have these 2 features?
Too many. The Sim P-8 fits.Kal 
Strategy and Components Advice Needed
1. Yes. HT pass-through or bypass. Feed the front L/R outputs of the pre/pro through it.2. No comment.3. You can get a sub with separate L/R sub inputs distinct from an LFE input. Use the former for stereo, the latter for MCH.Kal 
best sacd out there 1,000.00 or so
??? There are SACD players that do well enough on RBCD that the compromise is minimal in view of the advantages. Will SACD make it? It will not become the standard medium but it will linger as a premium medium, especially for classical and jazz. Kal 
Virtually no bass from my Elite DVD player in SACD
First, not all SACDs have an LFE (.1) channel.Second, the bass on some players needs to be boosted for SACD (by up to 10dB) in order to match levels from other sources.Third, setting your speakers to small will divert bass from them to the sub. Th...
