Moderately priced 5 channel amplifier
For the money... it's really hard to beat the Theta Intrepid... high current 5 channel x 100 that doubles into 4 ohms. 
D-SONIC SOA Class-D Core Amps. The best Class-D ?
I just picked up a 3 channel D-Sonic and while it's not cold to the touch, it runs cool.

I've found the High Fidelity cables open another window into the artist's connection to the music. One of my favorite artists is Lyle Lovett... and one of my favorite songs is his version of West Texas Highway from his album Step Inside This House...

I'd really appreciate it if I could get feedback from those who switched to High Fidelity CT-1 speaker cables. I currently own Nordost Tyr speaker cables and based on my positive experience in replacing Kubala Emotion interconnects with High Fidel...

"Looking Into You... A Tribute to Jackson Brown" is really good. 
Thoughts on potential new system?
For what its worth, I went from Wilson Duette's to the Sonus Faber Olympia 2's for my fronts and I'm very happy with them. You could save some money on the amp by going with the Theta Intrepid.

Mofimadness... well said. My take on this work is that Anne has an real emotional connection to the songbook. 
Transparent Stereo From Surround Preamp/Processor
You should take a hard look at a Theta Casablanca III. They're easy to set up and offer amazing selectivity for switching modes and switching between different interconnects. 
Great, Physically Unobtrusive High-end Speakers?
I went from Avalon Ascendants to Wilson Duette's to a pair of Sonus Faber Olympia I's and couldn't be happier. 
How important for surrounds to match fronts?
I'm sure others will say otherwise, but IMHO it's no big deal if they don't match. I have Sonus Farber fronts, a Monitor Audio center, and Cambridge rear surrounds. 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
This is a little off the mark but in August I went to the 5th Annual Festival @ Creek Side, aka Kuhnapalooza, held in Naperville, Illinois. The founders of this live musical event 5 years ago decided to invite their musician friends over to more o... 
Correct method of hooking up Sonus Faber speakers?
You might want to try the new Nordost Jumpers. You can order them in any configuration you want... and at $150 they're a bargain. 
The Biggest Album Release of All Time...
I think U2 should buy the NFL... that way they're really save the planet. 
Best products for baffle material s ?
Sonus Faber uses solid hardwood beginning with their Olympica line of speakers.
