Cement to fill speaker stands?
Yeh! Why not? 
Equvalent Replacement for a/d/s M12 monitor speake
Paradigm Studio 100's $2200.00 US Very similar to your old M12's 
What are you powering your Martin Logans with????
C/J premier 17 to premier 12 mono's. C/J EV1 phono stage(very underrated) Linn Lp12/ekos/Grado Statement, sony sacd777es, Audioquest silver cables and I/C's(varying ages and models)Hooked up to Odyssey's. Sounds like the musicians are in the room!... 
Yamaha PF 800B Turntable?
Pretty cool table. Not the greatest sound but not terrible. Don't pay more than $200.00. I sold them back in the day when I was a hifi dealer. 
What amp to match with Conrad Johnson Premier 16/2
The new C/J Premier 140. if it's not out yet it will be any day. Got to be very carefull with your pre's low output impedance. I've got a 17 with Premier 12s. 
What Preamp for ML Sequals & ESL amp?
Long time M/L owner (7 pairs in 16 years). My Conrad Johnson premier 17 is the best I've heard in 3dsound staging, detail, and openess. Works great with M/L's. Can't recommend enough! 
bmw rock solids opinion
Ditto to Zaikesman! 
CJ PV14L remote question
Holding down the mute button for a few seconds will turn the pre on & off I'm pretty sure. This is how it works on my premiere 17. Mike 
Compatability Issue or Not? Grado Sonata and MMF 7
It is a problem for the Rega's because the moter is beneith the platter and the unsheilded cart would pick this up. With your moter being off to the side I see no problems. Great cart; I have one myself and love it. Mike

Most real rooms do Poorguy!! DEMO THEM at home first! 
searching a new pair of speakers

cartridge recomendations
You can get close With a Grado Sonata. Easy to deal with,!!!!!!! good output, tremendous midrange-where most of the music is. Lists at $500.00 but you can get for $400.00 new if you shop. 
Allman Brothers Band new release 3/18/03
Can't wait! Greg Allman's solo album from a few years ago was excellant too! 
Screen sizing - conflicting advice
As a salesman in the high end for 15 years, I have never heard of 1.5x screen height; and height being the cause of fatigue. I have a Stewart 133" hd ratio screen in one of our demo rooms and 12' is too close! But 22' seems too far. Our seating fo...
