rear speaker placement for new theater
One more thing--I've yet to hear of an in-wall speaker that can match the performance of the better "box" speakers. If decor considerations require them, that's one thing. But if sonic performance is your objective, I wouldn't consider them. Just ...

Be sure to check out the link below (copy and paste it to your browser). There are several helpful articles there on home theater setup. In particular, you'll want to check out the article entitled, Face Off: Surround-Speaker-Configuration Wars. I... 
Vote for the best center speaker here
I have a Martin Logan Logos I've been happy with. 
Best pre/pro for under 3K?
Correction...Surround EX is a matrixed version of 6.1. 
Best pre/pro for under 3K?
I think the B&K Ref 30 (MSRP around $2,800) needs to be on your short list. I would hold off on buying one right now, though. Currently it does not have the hardware to process DD EX and DTS ES. It only has Surround EX which is a matrixed vers... 
Pass Aleph 3 or 5 for Proac 1sc
I used an Aleph 3 to drive my NHT 3.3's for a time. I was mostly interested in testing out the Aleph line of amps. The 3 is a great product, but it didn't have the headroom or bass control that I want. I've not heard the 5, but my recommendation w... 
Please help-cables, interconnects?
I'm going to second the Harmonic Technology cables, provided you go with the Pro-Silway Mk II interconnects and Pro-9 Plus speaker cables. I have not heard Analysis Plus but have read favorable reviews. HT and AP seem to have generated a lot of go... 
Greatest sonic impact: cables or ICs
I have an all Harmonic Technology system right now. Pro-9 Plus speaker cables and Pro-Silway Mk II interconnects. I really haven't done much A/B testing with the speaker cables, but I did a little with the interconnects and found the Pro-Silway's ... 
Music from ferris Beullers Day Off
I just checked that site again, and it looks like it was shut down the day after I posted my response. I scanned the list of music from the movie they had there. Didnt' see anything that looked classica. If you can tell me how many hrs/mins into t... 
loss of bass after filling stands
I assume you put the stands back in the exact same spot they were in before filling them. Moving a speaker even an inch can sometimes have a dramatic impact on the sound. Barring that, I suspect what's happened is that you are now hearing tighter,...

Why pay "more" for USED??
Take a look at the bid history on that item. It looks very suspicious to me. This is obviously an instance of shill bidding which is where the owner (or his amigo) bids up the item in an attempt to jack up the price. You'll note the winner had zer...

Time for spring cleaning
Glad I'm not the only one. I've got a Classe CA-300, a BAT VK-5i, Harmonic Retrieval System, two pairs of Harmonic Technology Truth Link XLR's, a pair of Pro-Silway Mk II XLR's, NHT AudioCenter 1, NHT 3.3's, Technics receiver...Whew! Didn't realiz... 
Electrostatic or Dynamic
Todd--Having lived with the Khorus' the way you have, you'll never settle for the bass quality of the Prodigy's. Not even in the same league.
