Ayre K1xe vs. Simaudio P7, P8
Would like to add, I have been living with the sim p-5 and w-5 for some time now and have been very happy. Never a problem, in fact I survived some serious brown outs, foolishly I kept playing the system and no problems. Of course now I'm using ba... 
Denon 103r ????
The 103r is an over achiever for sure. Can't believe what it is doing. Just incredible sound coming out of my system now. How do I describe it? Organic, pleasant, lively, 3-dimensional, crisp, and ....... nice. Why would I change now?

Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room?
9rw,To me the bass becomes cleaner, tighter more distinct. The speaker seems to vanish. They sound incredible this way. I haven't heard my vsm's on the floor in awhile and there have been alot of changes at my source so I will revisit the comparis... 
OPPO 980 h dvd mod?
Has anyone compared the oppo to the expensive stuff out there? Any comments out of curiousity. 
Sound proofing floor
I concur entirely with getting consul from an acoustical engineer, I needed to hear that from members, thank you. 
Anyone try decoupling speakers from the room?
9rw,The speakers are a product of a genius, I believe that by me trying a different approach is an attempt to make them more synergistic to my room and not any attempt at changing them. I use Bobby's bam and the speaker itself is not modified. It'...
