I Didn't Do My Homework
The Betas are outstanding. Every superlative that you've heard about them is true. It took me a month to finally dial them in to my room. I have a huge room, and because they have room to stretch out....they really sing.Find yourself a pair and bu... 
How often do you swap out equipment in general
It totally depends on how much money I have available. If I've got the dough and the price is right, I'll pull the trigger.I'm saving my money and waiting for a heavily discounted great deal on a set of Genesis 1.1 speakers. It could be years befo... 
Which speakers will fill 5,000 cubic ft coherently
Infinity Kappa 9 will sound great in that room, and they are beautiful too. But, they will need to be bi-amped. 
Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2?
Rxlarry....go back and get that XA2 right this minute!! Or, if you haven't already returned it....leave it right where it is. The picture you will get on any other upscaling dvd player will not measure up to the XA2. I suggest you make yourself a ... 
ARC Ref 110 vs. Ref 210
If you take the 110's, the day will surely come when you will want the extra slam and muscle of the 210's for a room that size. If you don't, you will always feel like something is missing. You've already got too much invested in other parts of yo...

Three Cheers for Pass Labs
I once called Pass Labs for a question about my amps and Nelson Pass himself got on the phone. He took his time and was very thorough and answered all of my questions. I still own Pass Labs amps.

Fan noise from Toshiba HD-XA2?
I've never noticed any noise while watching a movie on mine. 
Are tv's made in 4:3 aspect ratio any more?
I agree about widescreen monitors...it makes no sense, 4: was perfect. I have a widescreen monitor and it distorts photos to a too-wide view. I hate that about the monitor....everything else is okay. 
tube amps sounding like solid state and vv
Nice system. I am a Bob Carver fan too....I use Carver amps in my system also. 
Best video upscaling chip?
The Reon chip is in my Toshiba HD XA-2, and the upscaling is incredible on standard def discs.......you..ou 
The rout is on for Blu-Ray
Jdodmead ......you mentioned that Blu-Ray has a superior picture. Check out an HD-DVD movie on the Toshiba HD X-A2 player before you make that judgement. 
Most important component??
The operative word in your question was "system". In a system, everything has to work together. So it seems that the most important component would be the ability match or put together components that are compatible. In a true "system" all the com...
