Weird question re: balanced connection
Possibly if you also reversed the polarities appropriately on the speaker outputs.Of course, you can just use a Y-connector. 
What's your oppinion on bridging two channel amps?
If you have it, try it and decide for yourself. 
rewiring preamp will it work
Right. However, that does not obviate my concerns about overloading the output stage.

I suggest you ask Cary. I could find no circuit data for the AES AE-3 DJH but I would be concerned about excessive loading, especially for a headphone.Kal 
fixed crossover setting...sub pre out
Measure it? 
Paradigm Studio Reference Tweeter Replacement
I have a spare v2 tweeter in my closet. If you are interested in it, I will pull it out and test it. Contact me privately to follow up.Kal 
Oppo BDP-105 vs OPPO BDP-103 HDMI OUT
I have not made a head-to-head comparison but I use them interchangeably with HDMI.

Less volume with a more powerful amp
In theory but, in practice, it would depend on the output capabilities of the preamp. 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
The significance of the gain and of the SNR is dependent on what you feed it. I do not know what you mean by "the threshold of signal loss." 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
I do not think there is a single answer. Since it is interdependent with other design parameters, it is not an independent variable. Obviously, sensitivity needs to fall within a useful range for commercial success but some designers have specific... 
Less volume with a more powerful amp
Amp gain (sensitivity), not output power, determines the necessary level setting. 
bi wire or not to bi wire
Another bi-wire thread? Sigh. What a waste of space. 
What's Up with Magnapan at Shows?
I'd like to be a fly on the wall for that exchange. 
Good Processor
1. Few (but some) old receivers will redigitize the 5.1 analog but that is not optimum. If you want it to process digital (RC, Bass management, etc.), feed it digital2. Oppos do not do room correction.3. Meridian does RC below 300Hz which is where...
