Changing tweeters ... How to know if it will work
I would maybe rephrase it to any well-designed, inexpensive tweeter properly implemented can sound good. There are lots of cheap tweeters that sound like crap no matter how you design the crossover, and there are some inexpensive tweeters that are... 
Changing tweeters ... How to know if it will work
You will have to completely redesign the crossover. You'd had to know the specs of the driver in the PSB's that you are crossing over to. It certainly can be done. But, if I were you, I'd pay to have the speakers measured and a crossover redesigne... 
Nautilus & S series
One easy way to tell on the outside of the cabinet is on the older nautilus series, the tweeter housing is sunk down into the top of the cabinet. Enough that you could see the veneer bandings that made up the top of the cabinet. The newer "S" seri... 
Nautilus & S series
The nautilus 803 came out in 1997. The newer 803S came out I think in late 2004. The "S" series was a big upgrade over the older nautilus series in my opinion. I am speaking from the perspective of the 805. B&W had the nautilus 805 at the same... 
Thoughts on Snow Leopard and USB to DAC audio
I just bought a mac mini 1gb with airport express and ipod touch. it did not come with snow leopard. my next purchase will be a dac with toslink input. so far I am very impressed. 
Best way to save cd collection?
I just picked up a mac mini, airport express and ipod touch to act as remote. I would say there is nothing more plug and play. Once the settings are right in itunes, I put the disc in and walk away, it finds track names, artwork, and rips songs. W...

I'd say this ad raises just as many questions:http://cgi.audiogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?ddspkrfull&1247218563 
Which integrated to pick...
I have owned the MF A3, and the Audio Refinment Complete, never the YBA 201. Though I have never heard the Eurpoas, I have talked with people that have paired them with the AR Complete and have said fantastic things. The MF is a nice integrated, b... 
High WAF, simple, integrated amplifier
The Musical Fidelity X150 is very close to what you are after. Definitely narrower than 12", power output is 105 wpc. Used they go for about $575-$600. Still much more than your budget of $300 though. It has minimal features, and only a handful of... 
How did you discover audiogon?
Back in 2001 I did a search for "high end audio". One of the results was a link to a page on audiogon. 
Need help with stereo cabinet design.
if you live in a cold climate, do not duct the run into the attic. Either run out through the attic and out the roof, or out the side of the house. You never want just plain warm air dumping into your attic. 
Michigan - Any Interest?
I'm all for trying to get a group of guys together, but I also know how challenging it can be to try something like that at AKFest. There is too much stuff to see in a short amount of time. Last year I spent the whole day there and didn't see ever... 
Michigan - Any Interest?
I will be at AKFest '09 this year along with a couple other friends. if it is like last year, it should be lots of fun..

Rotel RA-1062 AMP and Paradigm Studio 20 v4
Not sure what your budget is, but my hunch is you would enjoy that system very much. The paradigm studio 20 is a fantastic speaker. I've owned all four versions at one point or another.
