Choice for wilson Watt/puppy 5.1 internal wiring
Telling us a little bit about the rest of your system would help. What amp are you using, what cable, your source, etc?Spend some time getting use to your new speaker. Pay careful attention to toe-in and vertical tilt angle. If all else fails you ... 
2012 Additions to Your Music Collection
I would also add Bryan Ferry's Olympia to the list. Similar to Donald Fagen's Sunken Condos in that each album has the artist mining familiar ground. It's just that they do it so well. 
A market for DIY speakers on AudioGon ?
There is a small market for DIY. You just have to be realistic with your prices. 
What About Loom Theory?
If there really was something to the loom thing, then why doesn't it apply to the rest of our systems? Why not have all our components from one manufacturer and reap all that synergy stuff. Now if the objection to that is something along the lines... 
Resonators
If you are in to sympathetic vibrating metal, then why not install actual cymbals in your listening room. A six pack of stage quality Sabians cost $1,100. They certainly look more musical than the little bowls. 
Just listened to The Blue Nile
A very high quality, but limited discography. Paul Buchanan came out with a very good solo album earlier this year. 
What About Loom Theory?
I think you misread it. It's not loom, but looney theory. It's basic premise is that if you do it once, do it multiple times in order to achieve greater synergy. It only applies to cables. For instance, if you have a power cable, then have your in...

possibility of refinishing speaker
I suspect the total economics, including resale vale, would actually favor you swapping your cherry finish for a factory finished black satin. Talk to an SF dealer they might be able to locate a floor sample or returned unit that could facilitate ... 
Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of
Mt10425, why should there be competition for "your" money. Is it somehow more valuable than say, "my" money.BTW, Black Ops 2 sales reached $1 billion dollars in only 15 days. Clearly price is not any issue for their intended market. 
Is there really a need for panel speakers in 2012
Solid state amps have become so good is there really a need for tube amps? HiRez digital has become so good is there really a need for analog? On-line retailers have become so good is there really a need for B&M stores?Was there really a need ... 
Made in America
Not audio related, but an interesting story about a classic product reinvented to still be made in America. 
Why are dealers so scared to sell product out of
If they compete solely upon price profits for dealers will fall. At the same time their costs will remain the same. In the short term a few consumers will benefit, but in the longer term the number of dealers will decline because of low profits an... 
room size for Pass XA30.5 power amp
As a rule match your room to a speaker and the speaker to the amp.
