Can I soundproof a rec room that's already built?
Yes, you could put channels on top of the drywall, and then add celotex, this is the prefered method, as you will have an air gap. Locate the studs through the drywall and screw the celotex to the studs. Then hang drywall on top of the celotex. Ce... 
monoblocks for von schweikert vr2?
One other option you could experiment with is to take a two channel amp and bridge it. For example, the parasound A23 power amp may be ideal. A pair of them brand new would run you about 1600, but I'll bet you could talk the dealer down. They are ... 
YBA redoing the Audio Refinement line
I had not heard this, but appreciate the heads up. I've been waiting for Audio Refinement to have an upgrade. Keep us updated if you hear anything else. 
Good Amp for JM Labs Utopia Speakers
An amplifier I would add without a doubt is anything from YBA. One of the most balanced and easy-to-listen-to system I've ever heard were some JM Labs and a YBA amplifier. 
B&W or Sonus Faber with Musical Fidelity A5?
Well, I can't speak for the components listed above, but I did once own a Musical Fidelity A308 integarted with some B&W Signature 805's. So we are almost talking apples to apples. I absolutely loved this combination. I found no need for a sub... 
Can I soundproof a rec room that's already built?
The other option, assuming you don't rent, is to hang celotex sound isolation board on top of the drywall. Won't look that pretty, but you can hang drywall on top of that for excellent sound isolation. I also think that building another room insid... 
Sonus faber Cremona Auditor and Jeff Rowland??
The concentra should easily have more than enough power to drive the auditors. I'm almost positive power is not the issue here. I would give the speakers another 300 hours break in and then make a decision. 
Lansing, Michigan
You might want to check out this thread. There seem to be quite a few people that are close to Lansing. Within an hour drive or so. I'm in Grand Rapids.http://forum.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/fr.pl?lclub&1001615753&read&3&4& 
H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.
Warren, you might want to reread my post. Never once did I say the caravelle wasn't a good speaker. All I'm doing is pointing out the facts. Here's a little tidbit from your review:"Now, onto the sound. First and foremost; the bass. If I had my ey... 
H.P.Caravelles owners, are you still Satisfied.
So now the unbelievable Caravelles that have so much bass it will rattle your sternum, needs a PAIR of subs?? Hmm.. appears everything is not always as it seems. 
Headphones for iPod.
I'll second or third the Shure E2c. That's what I'm using. 
Should this forum have a warning label?
While we are at it let's put a label on the cereal box that says "Caution: No swimming until cereal has been digested." It's just like parents that are over protective of their kids. If you are spending thousands of dollars on this site without re... 
What Is The Best CD Changer Player Out There?
You might want to check the archives on this one, it has been covered quite a few times. My vote goes to the Anthem disc changer. 
breaker,breaker.
Go with 20 amp, because you just never know when upgrade will hit.. 
A musical "heads up" to any and all...
The first two albums are just as good. As with the second one, it will probably take some time to warm up to this album. It took me a while, but I almost like the the second album more than the first. Both of which are very good.
