Speaker placement directly on floor?
You can get quality spikes and matching discs at audiopoints.com 
Multi channel much better than stereo?
I heard DVD at a dealer who was excited about it. Nice system, room, etc. I found the rear channels to be annoying, reminding me of the car audio ploy of "rear fill" to sell you to two speakers for the rear deck. I later read and article, probably... 
Stereo sounds better than 5.1?
Three channel is great for music, but 5.1 is f#^%$ stupid. 
Upgrading and Integrating
Depends on how long it will take you to make later upgrades. It also depends on whether you want a good sounding, well balanced system now, or a better one in the more distant future. The distant future of course depends on how long it will take y... 
Paradigm studio 20-vs-Coincident Triumph
Ja, woll. Paradigm ist nicht so gut als das Triumph. 
3500 US speaker help please
Maybe check out some electrostatics. Innersound, MLogan, Soundlab might have a pair that cheap, i dunno. Good luck 
Room or Speaker what s more important?
I'd rather have a good pair of speakers in a bad room than vice versa. 
Win a power cord.
"Deliverance", or you could name it "The Shocker" and through in a pair of rubber gloves with it. 
B W 605-S2, good for music?
The Nautilus line is definately better, but the 605s are great for large scale orchestra. Big stage, good tone, and bass. 
CD player with good error correction
I don't think you have trouble with most of the cdps made today, although i'm sure some are better than others. I've never had any skips with my Rotel 971, even with heavily scratched discs. 
Best Travelin Music
"Riders of the Storm", and INXS' "Listen Like Theives" album. 
25,000 for the home theater
Definately get one of those Pioneer big screens. I don't know the model, but once you see it, you'll know. I like B&W speakers for HT...great vocals. 
Best Integrated amp under 1k
I'm not sure about how many inputs it has, but the LFD Mistral is bad man. fifty watts per channel, i believe, seems like a little more though. 
DIGITAL vs. ANALOG
I have to disagree with George's price point. There is a point where turntables become better than cdps, but i personally like the sound of a decent cdp, like the a3cd, over an $800 TT rig. I would place the price up around $2k for the TT, arm, ca... 
PSB Gold i vs. Soliloquy 6.3 vs Hales...
I totally agree with Martice and Daniel. I would add that the Rev. threes performance, especially soundstage and dynamics, depends a lot on the power and the quality of the amp. Even with low power i find the Hales to be more accurate/natural than...
