B&W Nautilus 802 compared to 804
I doubt very highly ANY sub will be necessary with the 802N's. Substantial low end. Sugarbrie, you mean the subs in stereo with the 804's, right? That is a fabulous alternative. 
Dealer warning - credit card scam
I was sent emails from the same people asking the same.Expensive gear, clearly stolen cards, which I took no part.Great idea to post this, a warning to everyone!Dan 
PSE Studio 4 amplifier - any good?
Yes, Albert, this is the same, Professional Systems Engineering.Great amplifiers, the Studio V's are incredible. 
Mcintosh Vs Proceed
McIntosh MC-352.I own the MC-352 and it is an excellent amplifier. Truly a difficult amplifier to beat, plays at any load, musical, quiet, and pack substanial punch. Very refined.Although is it 'rated' at 350, House of Music in SF has done several...

B&W 801III vs. B&W HTM-1..
Thanks for the input Argent. What I don't understand is a 'vertical arrangement' is not ideal. Why is that?It seems to work wonderfully. I have read this elsewhere but not sure what the reasoning is behind it.Thanks again...... 
B&W 801III vs. B&W HTM-1..
Good point. I should mention, the 801III is center under a screen, so directional issues are not present.Thanks,Dan 
Which subs are best for home theater?
It is a no brainer, Velodyne 18's, either the HGS-18, FRS-18, or F-1800II.You will not find a better sub for home theater, and if you literally want to move pictures, run a pair up front! 
Anyone ever sold off their dream system and why?
Yes, I did, based on a divorce, the house or the stereo?Sold a 50" Plasma, McIntosh items, MX-132, MC-352, MC-7206,MVP-841, MLD-7020, Demodulator, a pair of MIT centers, B&W 801N's (three from the front stage of a Home Theater), a paid of 802N... 
Best Shipper for Large Packages
Hands down, TEAM AIR EXPRESS. They are a freight company, excellent service, no issues! They pallet most everything, they will even package items, this is the group to use for large or heavy objects. I have sent a 60" Pioneer Elite TV (which they ... 
Excellent Component Direct or
I will obviously do so, just was hoping someone had first hand experience with the DVDO's and one or both of these DVD players.Dan 
Lexicon 3.1 vs 4.0
The only difference is that the 4.0 incorporates the EX surround processing, which is adding a rear center channel. IMHO, not worth a dollar more as the Lexicon has Logic7 FAR better than any EX processing.The cost is somewhere in the $200 range, ...

Info. on EAD Classic AV
The EAD Classic is wonderful in surround as it is incredible in 2 channel! You are right, a nightmare to set up, calibrate (although it should come with it's own microphone for calibration) but once complete, happiness. There is no on screen progr... 
Center Channel needs to handle bass?
I somewhat disagree with the above posts. I am running a trio of Energy Veritas, 2.8's as right and left, and one 1.8 as center, with a pair of 1.8's as rears.THIS MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE as faily loud volumes. But, with that said, the surrounds m...
