Got it pared down now - Revel, Dunlavy or Genesis?
I don't there is a real best speaker in this category. All of the speakers you list are great. It comes down to what you like. I have the Revels and love them. I have heard the Dunlavy's and they are very good but really different from the Revels.... 
Help me tame the brightness of my Triangles
You might try audiopoints. There are many threads on this product which you can search. I bought sistrum racks with the brass audiopoints integrated in the rack. They had a very positive effect on the soundstage. I also agree that brightness could...

Power cord recommendation for Transcendent T8 OTL
If your going to spend this much look at Sonoran PC at audiopoints.com. I purchased several of them and got some from some guys in Florida who extras on audiogon and they loved them. For less I have picked up Zu Meg stuff and you may want to give ...

Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350?
I am not sure why your retiring the ML except to just try out something different. I am not sure that either the Krell or the Pass are going to do anything better for you than what you have. Maybe monos would be a thought and going in a totally di... 
Can anyone talk about the Levinson 40.
Rhagen is right that Levinson does not list as a reference piece. I have a hard time distinguishing the quality from their reference preamps. Frankly it sounds great. I had the PAV combo and the video on this is far better and that was great. It i... 
long i/c run...looking for high end cable
I concur on the Sonorans. I don't know what all of this personlized byplay is all about but I got 45ft plus runs of sonoran plateau,some biwired, for 7 speakers and 2 subs. After breakin the sound is fantastic. I heard similar setups with MIT Nord... 
Can anyone talk about the Levinson 40.
The Media 40 is a culmination of what ML has been doing with these other pieces for years. From the audio end it equal to or better containing much new technology derived from extensive r&d. From the video it is awesome. It is the state of the... 
Burn in time...Reality or something else???
Burn in for many products is physics. I sure wouldn't expect much difference from the first day to the hundreth day on my digital DVD player, but on my amps,cable, interconnects ect. The molecular structure of the wire in conjuctunction with the o... 
ACME 15a Cryo or FIM 880 for front end????
There are a gazillion threads on this subject. Search for Fim or acme and you will find a lot. I have FIM and like them very much. The problem as I see it is that many people evaluate these products out of the box. On any new additions to a system... 
Woofer damage from new Star Wars THX DVD?
I agree with foreverhifi. On video apps I have my subs pick up everything below 80hz. I don't want to overload my mains even though they are quit capable. On two channel or other audio I have the subs pick up below 50hz. This way I don't overload ... 
Hubbel v Virtual Dynamics v FIM v Purist v Jena
I have not heard every outlet but do have the FIMs and am very happy with them. I also have dedicated power lines through an equi-tech balanced wall panel. There is a point where distinguishing between these outlets becomes a little difficult when... 
Best spkrs for rock: Dunlavy V-Watt/Puppy-Revel??
I looked back at this to see feedback and after thinking about the issue think I was right originally. Before I would spend money on new speakers I would seriously consider acoustics and other tweaks to the listening enviroment. You have good equi...
