Can these be used for both Plasma and 2-channel??
Right, Aroc. The speakers can be connected to only one amp at a time. So, your options are to use only one or to get a switch.Kal

Does your TV have line-level outputs? Most do. You can connect these to an unused input on your reamp/amp.Kal 
Hooking up sub
1. Tape out is not volume-controlled, so the sub level will not track the main speaker level if you do this.2. If you do not have preamp outputs, you must use the speaker output. Kal 
Mutlple Amps and a line Conditioner
What is the MAXX's current rating? What are the current loads for each of the devices? Add 'em up and see if they are less than the MAXX's current rating.Each line to the outlets on the wall is usually 15A but you will have to look at the MAXX's s... 
Tri-wire cables?
Why not use three individual runs of whatever you like?Kal 
Impedance and Bi-Amping
I'd leave them at 8 barring any additional info.Kal 
SACD and DAC
Good response. Let me add that some players/receivers can also do this with iLink (IEEE1394) and, in addition, some Denon devices can do this with DenonLink. However, the receiver end has, afaik, been restricted to receivers but there's no reason ... 
Does soundproofing improve or harm sound?
Are you sure the GC knows anything about acoustic treatment vs. soundproofing? The former is to improve the quality of sound inside the space and the latter is to keep it from getting out of the space. Not at all the same.For info, take a look at:... 
Has anyone hearing to much digital information ?
Have you considered a stem-cell injection into your brain so that you gain the capacity to appreciate fully all that information?Kal 
McCormanck 225 or upgrade my DNA-1 to a or B Rev.
I actually preferred my DNA1/Rev A to the original 225. Report is somewhere on www.stereophile.comKal 
24-bit 96-kHz remastering of classical
Remastering is not panacea. Like every other technique and process, it can be done well and it can be done badly. If you compare that Gershwin/Fiedler remastered CD with the LS SACD released earlier this year, you will hear a world of difference a... 
Old Janszen E-stats sound very good
I once had Janszen 130s (and 65s, too) and I agree with Kehut's assessment of them. What I did was to construct a vertical ladder-frame and stack the elements. This widely opened the radiation pattern and vasatly improved the soundstage. However, ... 
Question for classical lovers
"If someone here has heard the new hybrid sacd LSO live release of Brahms 4/Haitink, I would like to know your opinion. I was surprised at how etchy and unnatural the strings sounded even on sacd layer. I hope I am not the only one who thinks that... 
Need advice on a passive subwoofer
Ha. So you are planning to add an amp/crossover and, in effect, make it an active sub. You should have said so. Kal 
Question for classical lovers
How about you or your room? There are many, many excellent classical recordings out there. Heck, that's all I really listen to and, believe me, if they were not satisfying, I would not be in this game.Kal
