which sub to get
I have those same Pioneers matched with my Cain & Cain Abbys. My room is 17x35 with cathedral ceilings. Not huge bass, but fast and musical. 
which sub to get
It doesn't matter which sub, just use two. 
which sub to get
Two smaller ones. 
Should hook I speaker level sub to center or sides
I always have a quality sub connected in parallel with my center channel. But, two of those, wow? There's a huge amount of deep bass and impact from the center speaker most folks never hear. 
Linda Ronstadt/Nelson Riddle
Yep, I've got the original set too. 
If you could bring back one great artist that has
Warren Zevon. 
Speakers to audition at AXPONA 2015
Devore if John's there. They might've been the best sounding speakers my wife and I heard last year at Axpona. It was the other set (I wish I remembered the model) not the the O96. 
What's your latest album purchase?
As I was wandering around Best Buy waiting to talk with someone about iPads, I stumbled upon Tony Bennett- The Beat of My Heart. 180g and a Direct Metal Master for $25. It sounds spectacular. 
6922 tube selection
I use 7dj8's from Kevin @Upscale in my TTVJ phono stage. Matushita or Phillips. 
Barnes & Noble and vinyl LP's
Yep, bought a few there. Books-a-million has some too. 
Pangea AC14SE or Shunyata Venom S for tube preamp?
I use a standard Pangea AC14 w/c-7 on my TTVJ phono stage. It works well and sounds very good. 
Break in time: Pioneer SW-8MK2 Subwoofer?
I use a pair. I can't remember when they broke in. 
bang and olufsen cartridges
Steve @ Paragon Video and Audio in Madison, WI repairs and sells B & O equipment. I bought my RX-2 and mmc2 from him. He has more carts available. Good guy. 
Vintage Receiver: TANDBERG, MARANTZ, or…?
My re-capped, upgraded integrated (sorry it's not a receiver) Sansui AU D-11 sits inthe bedroom matched with re-coned EPI 100s. 
Speaker Choice ?
Jmc-what I meant was there's a lot of flexibility in placement options. Of course, the equipment will make a difference. I'd rather have a larger room than a smaller room.
