Help with imaging
If you have not already try switching(left/right) a pair of interconnect, and maybe speaker cable (with interconnect switched back to normal) in order to eliminate the question of an electronic phenomenon. If the sound is still leaning to the righ... 
Who is the sexiest female vocalist?
Bjork is sexy in her own way. My sexy fave is Toni Halliday of Curve. 
Tool - Lateralus
I was in the music store on the 15th to get the new Depeche Mode and was pleasently surprised to see that the Tool album had come also come out. The single, number 5, is excellent, and if you haven't already, you have to see the video. I know vide... 
Proac one SC or Merlin TSM...?
With these two, you really just have to audition. Both are comparable in quality with the type of music you listen to, and both are compatible with the amp you use, so it is just a matter of personal preference. I know buying used is going to hind... 
Hales owners discussion
Being a bit smaller than the stock spikes, I do think the Audiopoints have made mine a little more stable. I think your wheel idea is very cool. I would love to be able to wheel mine around the room, especially if I owned the Threes. With the whee...

I have the Revelation Twos which, judging by the above posts, are easier to place. In every room I have had them in (10x11, 14x14 with an opening to one side, and a 12x15). In every room they seem to like to be about a foot off the back wall and w... 
FULL RANGE vs. SUBWOOFER+NO FULL RANGE
If these speakers are for your 9'x11' room that you described in your other post, go with a monitor or a small, 2-way floorstanding speaker. A full range speaker will deliver too much bass for your room. I also have a small (10x11) room, and if I ... 
Budget system recommendations
I like Sugarbie's B&W 602 suggestion. I used to own the 603s and thought they were great. If you were to buy B&W 300 or 600 series i would advise that you spend more on the integrated amp and just get a cheap cdp. They like a decent amount... 
Adding a Second Sub
I agree with Sedond and others. You want stereo, not mono. 
Cones/Bearings for CD player
Well, ya' got your Black Diamond $60/3, your Audiopoints $60/3, PolyCrystal ~$60/3, Symposium Roller Blocks $300/3, and a whole slew of 'em on audioadvior.com. Tough to say which one will work best for you. 
Is All The Hype About Odyssey True?
Sheadlee, what ARC amps did you own? Now you have me thinking. 
New Stereophile recommended list
I think having a list at all is problematic. It divides components in to four or five categories of quality that a lot of people feel they need to adhere to when assembling thier system. The list elimates potentially good alternatives to buying a ... 
Magical, Musical, Mini Monitors
Wow, I didn't know he had to replace them that offen. It's cool to see an update on Zausmer's beamer. I just saw the article in the Feb. 1995 of Car Audio and Electronics which did little but describe the layout of the system. Guess he had a tough... 
Help out a Young Audiophile
If you ever feel the need to start of with, 'this may seem pathetic...' don't do it. 
Please Help: High-End car audio
Swampwalker is right. An increase in output isn't going to help, and mounting location and the quality of the installation are paramount to the sound. Partnered with a 35watt pioneer and BA pro 6.5s, I too have an Eclipse. My tonal balance is weak...
