Dynaudio vs. Vienna Acoustics
Only look at the confidence line from dynaudio. It is so much better than the countour line its scary. The confidence 3 as small as it is, is miles better than the big contour 3.3 in every way but bass quantity. However i prefer the confidence 3s ... 
The best CD player new or used for under 500
I would get either a CAL Delta transport or an old theta transport. Actually a theta pearl just went a few days ago for 500. It looks great in silver and was almost as good as my levinson 37 when i had it. Any of these three would be great options... 
Theta Miles VS Resolution Audio CD50
You can't control the denon's volume by remote. I owned it but did not hear a big difference over my old player so i sold it. It is made really well and works so smoothly that i loved it just for those reasons. The theta i owned as well. I always ... 
Best amp for Thiel 3.6 speakers?
I beleive the Thiel recommends using CLasse with their speakers. I've never heard it but thiel reccommends it and everyone who tries it loves it. I hope this helps. 
The best 5 disc CD Changer.
The sony XA555ES probably has an even better transport. It is probably the best 5 disc transport on the market right now. Thanks 
Red Rose R3s vs. Proac 1sc vs. Dynaudio 1.3SE
Try the PMC LB1s. I've heard all the speakers you have mentioned and they were the best by a wide margin. I heard the R3s at a show and they were played so softly it was not showing them off properly. Anyways, if it were my money i would not hesit... 
Best speakers for 2000-USED
Don't buy Thiel 3.6s i owned them for 7 years. I loved em till i tried other speakers and heard just how bad they are. Without any doubt in my mind the absolute best speaker to buy in this price range is the Merlin VSM SEs with BAM there was a pai... 
What is your vote for best bookshelf speaker ?
I bought the Peregrine Xs. The guaneris were my next favorite and then cmae the confidence threes and then the extremas. These four speakers plus the Mini Utopias and the Krell LAT 2s are all so good it is really impossible to make a bad descision... 
What Comes After Dynaudio Contour 3.3?
The confidence 5 is incredible. The best I have ever heard. Simply destroyed the N802s and clearly beat the Genesis 350 SEs. Very very good speakers, worth every cent. - Ian

One question for you argent... What amp do you use for your hometheater? I have a Nakamichi AV 8 that I am presently using until my B&K gets back to me. I wanted to know what sorta power your receiver/amp had because I am scared of blowing my ... 
Dynaudio Contour vs. Confidence
The confidenc 5 is incredible and its bass is so tight and defined that even in a small room it will never sound overpowering or muddled, the best speakers i have ever heard, so thats why i just got a pair. A must have, if you have the money for e... 
The Professional Monitor Company
Yes I have heard the FB1s and they were so good that I began to follow the entire PMC line. They were better than the Thiel 2.3s at half the price. I needed a bookshelf speaker so I bought the LB1s unheard because i figured that if they sounded ne... 
The Professional Monitor Company
I have two pairs of LB1s and i like them a lot. They are good but what really impressed me if you have the money is the Dynaudio Confidence 5. They are the best speaker I have ever heard. Simply unbelievable. None the less I love my PMCs. Also wha...
