From what I understand, there are some differences. 
Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 vs. kW500
Ah, I thought you were running older B&W's at home. Just a thought......I'm not a fan of Kimber cables, always found them light on bass. Do they have other cables you can demo with? 
Alternatives to sand and lead shot for stands
Eighthcircuit,Yes, that's the stuff. It comes in different sizes, but for filling stands it's a mute point. I get mine at Pro Bass Shops however, you have to go to the store to buy it, they don't seem to sell it online. Lead isn't dangerous to adu... 
Musical Fidelity Trivista 300 vs. kW500
Sdatch, Very good sir, you had me wondering. I suspect the answer to your question involves the ugly green monster.Dave,Will they let you do a home trial? If not, can you bring your speakers to them? I've listened to the kW500 on a few different s...

The Tri-Vista has a damping factor of 210, the kW is listed at >200. How much greater is it?

Product to fill up speaker/audio stands and racks
Another recommendation for lead shot. It has the most "dead" weight per volume, is easy to use and unless you spill some, no mess. 
It's funny how records are still best.
Larry,I'm far from a troll and I don't appreciate your personal attack. As you can see, I'm not the only one who feels that vinyl isn't the answer. If you prefer it, fine. I don't and you should respect that if you call yourself a audio lover. It ...

To each their own, personally I can't stand vinyl anymore. There are so many high end CDP's and SACD players today that surpass vinyl that I put all mine away. 
Dire Straits and Eagles XRCD worth $37?
The SACD version is on Mercury/Vertigo, made in the UK. Amazon UK has it as well as CD Universe, Music Direct and ePay. It is a import only. 
Dire Straits and Eagles XRCD worth $37?
While the XRCD is far better than the original redbook, the new SACD is in another world, it's that much better. 
Can I place a large amp on its side?
I would advise against that idea. You'll create heat dissipation problems.
