...than the 600 series. sorry 
help with speaker selection!
The Monitor Silverlines would be great. The smallest is about $500, new, I think. And you know, there's always good ole' B&W. I've found that the 302 does a little better against a wall the the 600 series. 
Horrific Confession and Question
I agree with Petland, and would add that a person becomes more forgiving of the sound quality they experience cerebrally if the music jams. This occurs especially when your doing somethign else and groovin' at the same time. I was listening to U2'... 
Bad room, bad tunes
Thanks, that was very helpful. 
Attention Deficit Disorder Audiophilia
I'm an aspiring clinical psychologist, so y'all just mention this site in a few years and get 20% off:) Seriously, I'm sorry to hear about your OCD, Dave. I know how profound its effects are. As for Joe, he probably is a bit neurotic like most aud... 
Album of the year?
Underworld's 'Everything Everything'. Thanks for the tip Megasam. I was always curious about S.S. and like Mezzanine well enough. Have you heard Coil? I would like to know if they are any good before I shell out the big bucks for thier imported on... 
Your Best Hobbies (other than Audio)
Albert, I live in Dallas and have seen many photos of downtown, but yours is the coolest. Excellent work, great colour. Riding down the freeways, I love gazing at the skyline. I also paint, and although I've had offers, I can't seem to let any of ... 
High Fidelity Sex Objects
Sorry, I was just teasing, not personally directing my reamark at you. I don't even know you, but I do that some audiophiles are just shutins who really need a date.

Before I was twenty or, so, (now 23), I had no idea that there were brands better than Bose, Pioneer, etc. And I could not figure out how is was possible for my aftermarket car stereo to be so much better than than my home Pionner system. So, I bo... 
High Fidelity Sex Objects
Lusting for equipment is sure sign that you need to get laid...by a person. Oh, cornfed, my woman's boobs are wooden, you know, like Nancy R.'s. Happy Festivus! 
High Fidelity Sex Objects
I like the feel of my girlfriend's knobs. Sex with equipment, huh? huh. 
Classe CAP or NAD???
I heard NAD and Classe on a pair of Hales and thought the Classe was about a thousand times better (as in smoother/refined). You might want to call Audio Insight in Plano aka Dallas, TX. you can find the number on the web. They carry Theil, Classe... 
Next tweak to buy?
Audiopoints at audiopoints.com is an alternative to BDR, and are about the same in price. The thing with the audiopoints though, is that they make threaded versions to screw in to your components, but three 'cones' or 'points' are known to be more... 
Hidden Audiophile Classics
Hooverphonic's 'A New Stereophonic Sound Spectacular' is well titled. Get your snorkel out, or you'll end up drowning, (and saying 'shit' a lot). 
Best Retailer Youve Done Business With?
Robert at Star Sound, who make Audio Points, is really cool and helped me out a lot in replacing my speaker spikes. He knows a whole bunch of crap and worked with me in getting what I wanted. I definately plan to call him again for my componenets....
