ADS speaker 's
Ask Mike Kelly @ Aerialacoustics.com - those were done during his reign. @ a/d/s/ 
Sub to match with Aerial 10Ts
Why not Aerial SW12? 
looking to replace ML's temporally
WHy bother boxing them up? I am sure you could kid-proof the room, and/or teach them not to climb on them. Doubtful everyone w/ nice stuff boxes it up for years - that would be a shame! Make it work somehow, will be cheaper and better in the long ... 
Simple, one-box solutions for HT-- Recomendations?
I think Linn just announced or came out with a new version of the Classik as a 1-box solution for audio and home theater including DVD player, 5-channel switching amp, decoders, etc. - the price is probably something like $3k or so? 
Any good all wood component racks?
Check out these custom racks. I have one and it's excellent. www.bjtanner.com 
What tube preamp to get to smooth out the sound?????
Agreed on the BAT VK30, I have one too. Tube rolling from stock Sovteks to NOS Amperex 7308s made all the difference in the world. A great preamp became truly stunning. Every bit the equal of the vk50se IMHO. 
loose tubes
Is there a place that carries those teflon sockets pictured above? The Japanese page didn't really have much to offer in that regard... looking for a dealer in the US if possible.. I have a friend who is interested who does a lot of DIY components. 
Meridian 861 - want a competative dealer
Try: www.ensembleav.com They had some 800 series Stuff. Ask for Rick. -Ed
