Recommended HDMI DVD players for music and movies.
Suggest you simply go to Best Buy (or others with money-back return policies) and get one of the several HDMI DVD players available (I use a Samsung with a Panasonic projector & 106" screen) and SEE (no pun!) how you like the video performance... 
Air conditioning a home theater.
There are other alternatives to consider that are less expensive too. Without knowing your house layout (1 story or 2, location of room, etc) I'd venture to say the carpet and drapes present NO problem at all. The drapes probably BLOCK heatflow th... 
Anyone Hear a Sophia Electric 300b
I've had many 300B amps, have FOUR now, and The Sophia 300B is excellent. Sorry, don't know about Wright's amps. Good Luck! 
Parasound HCA-1000A Modifications
What did you change? How much were the cost of parts? 
Best cheap projector for small HT.
Check this out:http://www.projectorreviews.com/ChooseHT/Panasonic/AE900u/index.aspAvailable used for $1250-$1500 used.Good luck! 
What would you do???
Ditto Kurt's recommendation on the Audio Aero. 
speakers efficiency
Not to be picky, but aren't you really talking about "sensitivity" here?Efficiency takes into consideration sensitivity AND impedance, I think. Good listening! 
What are best hi efficiency speakers under $1000?
Klipsch KLF-20's. 100db sensitive. Can't be beat for the money. Can be made better with mods to the x-overs. Good listening! 
Anti-Static Treatments
I don't know if the other items you are referring to work, but I can vouch for the ECO3. It Makes the MOST difference (in my system) by using it on a cd/SACD. Then much lesser differences on the i/c's and spkr cables. Good listening! 
what amp?
First I'd recommend that you don't use the sound card. Check out the Squeeqebox2 or 3 model by Slim Devices. Plenty of posts here about pluses of that. Then, regarding the amp selection, you'd need to mention your budget first, and what kind of mu... 
Anybody have a problem buying modded units.
All "modded" units are not the same.It depends:On the unit.On the reputation of the modifier.On the mods that were done by that modifier.My observations and IMHO, from having had 4 different modified pieces, is that money spent on the "right" mods... 
any mods to denon 1650ar player?
IMHO - there are many other players available, that will greatly outperform, and also would be a MUCH better investment of your "mod dollars", than putting $$$ toward that particular unit. Anyone else agree or disagree?Good luck and Good listening! 
Whic speaker sensitivity is better for an SET amp?
If the pd10's 8ohm impedance curve is fairly flat, it will most likely be your best bet. 8w with 97db sensitivity will play as loud as most would want, depending on your room and setup. .....and unless you are a now deaf head-banger! :-) Ty is a g... 
Pure silver solid wire jumpers???
That should cause absolutely no damage. I've seen dealers use paper clips before when nothing else was handy!Try it and see if it sounds better?Good luck. 
Tyler Linbrooks to big for a 12 x12 room?
You'll be fine with the Linbrooks.
