Wilson Sophia 3
and what would you have had Wilson do....divulge product plans for products in development whose first shipment was 8-10 months and thereby stall sales for all those months? 
Any smooth jazz fans out there?
Before dismissing smooth jazz, know this:1. check the credits on many of Steely Dan's early records, you'll find Larry Carlton's name on many of them. That said, he's credited with one of rock's most impressive guitar solos on Kid Charlemagn (?).2...

Given that Nagra is extremely diligent about component choice, sound, precision, why mess with it at all? I'm sure that if there were better sounding alternatives out there with commensurate reliability, Nagra would have chosen them. 
Life Death Love and Freedom : John Mellencamp
Sonically and musically I love the record. The message is unfortunately a bit depressing which limits my listening. 
Remote control of hidden components?
You use an IR repeater. 
Room treatment success story
Hi Edge,I'm glad I was able to help. Hope your situation provides an example for others experiencing the same issues. Keep us up to date as to your progress. The changes you describe are exactly what I've experienced after moving into a new house/... 
Which songs/albums take you back to college?

Quick Recommendation
There's a box set of 10 Paul Simon remastered records of which Rhymin' Simon is a part. They're all as good as described here. 
Newbie question about bookshelf speakers and stand
I don't know what your budget is, but for what it's worth, read the review of the Dynaudio X12s in the current S'phile magazine. I don't put much faith in just reading reviews, but based on this one, I'd at least give these a listen. 
Grand Prix versus Stillpoints
For what it's worth, I did a direct comparison with Finite Elemente and GPA Monaco a few years back when I bought my GPA rack. The difference, while not huge, was evident in favor of the GPA to my ears. 
Stick with Aerial 20T to play above 100Hz? Or MBL?
I agree with all about the room being the issue. I had similar problems with my similarly sized room. The problem was solved with judicious use of ASC Tube Traps and a Rives Audio PARC. You may not need the PARC as your issue is at around 80Hz whi...
