Are in-wall speakers worth considering?
Yes, indeed. There are alot of high end manufacturers competing right now.Top ends are in the Triad, SpeakerCraft Starlets, James, and of course the Energy Veritas and many others.I say they ARE worth considering.Dan 
Tube Preamp for Dreadnaught & Aerials
Jas - I would suggest if you listen to music at anything close to ref levels avoid tubes on the 10Ts. They require alot of juice to come alive. Don't get me wrong, I have tried some small tubes on the 10Ts with fine results at moderate levels, but... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
Dialing in a pair of subs is quite tough, and I have not been able to figure it out quite yet. In some respects, using a single, dialed in correctly can be much more accurate than two, not so dialed in! I run a pair of DD-18s and they seem to be p...

B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond
Brianmgrarcom - Nice. $500 for you, and I will collect $100 from the other 980 participants! My numbers may not be exact as they were more to indicate the point a vast majority would not consistently distinguish the differences. If that was not po... 
B&W Signature 800 Vs. the new 800D Diamond
Tell you what, cover the 800D and Sig 800 and I will charge $100 for everyone to run the test sight unseen.For every person that can accurately identify either given speaker (over about 20 tests consistently) I will pass out $500. I can assure you... 
Meridan 861 v4 & 800 v4 compared to Meitner or Lev
Indeed.I was running the 861/800 (both v.4/v.3 respectively - the latest and greatest version with room correction, which sold) as well as the Levinson 40 (for sale now) / 30.6 / 31.5 (currently for sale) all powered with the same amps (Levinson 3... 
15" vs 18" subwoofer - which to buy?
I have had alot of experience with both, DD-15/DD-18 and ended up with the DD-18s each time.I ALWAYS run subs in pairs. Aerial SW-12s, Velodyne F-1800R's, HGS-18's, HGS-18II's, DD-12's, DD-15's, and DD-18's. I had a pair of DD-18s, sold them to go...

Processor hunt....does this animal exist??

What does listening to a speaker really tell us?
What my speaker told me on my summer vacation:Life is good. If I am in a position to sit around and my biggest worry is how my system is coming along, sounding, or not sounding, I know life in California is good. Sometimes we don't know how lucky ... 
Proceed AVP Help.....
Wasn't there a specific software this works for?In other words, (not knowing the actual numbers, these are used for examples only) if I have version 1, and one of the later upgrades allowed this side/surround option by going into the AUX and defin... 
Subwoofer choice with B&W 805 Signatures?
Without a doubt, the Velodyne DD series subs. Not only smoking quick, you will not find a more accurate sub, especially once dialed in with the DD series spectrum analyzer, you will find the exact place to cross it over with your sigs, LIFE DOESN'...
