why do my AR9's sound so lousy?
. I refoamed the 8" midrange and the 12" woofers and replaced the 10" woofers with direct fit replacements.That might be the clue to your problem. I would let them work a little longer and then take a listen. 
Weght limit for SolidSteel shelf/cones?
If you are thinking that the cones will give way..not a chance at all. their small foot print should have enough pounds per square inch to support three times that weight and more. I would be more worried about the shelf either warping or a possib...

Best surprisingly good value component
the Adcom GPS 565 preamp around 200.00 is a great bargin. I would also include a pair of sound dynamics 300ti speakers. For less then 200.00 used you get a speaker almost as good as a pair of spendor sp-1. For amps B&K 202 plus and a Classe DR... 
preamp with phono break in
why the impatience? I never heard of buying a piece of gear and needing another piece to break it in..the new market for people who need their fix quickly? 
How long do you wait for a check to clear
as long as the check is in the buyers name and to give it 6to8days to clear. I would go directly down to the bank to talk to a rep and make sure the cash cleared and is in your account. 
Well Tempered Turntable Set-up
The amount of fluid in the cup will determin much of what your cartridge does. Its a fab TT. The sound seems on the lighter side of life. Being open and airy to my ears. 
Avalon toe-in?
try toeing only slightly until you achive some focus..to much and you could squash soudnstage width. 
Bah Humbug-Bad Christmas Music
if the new breed of so called singers can't sing a cole porter song. What makes us think they can croon Christmas songs. 
Is the moscode 300 the Best $600 used amp?
hybrid amps such as the moscode have much in power but never that tube like sound many enjoy in pure breeds. To say its the best would determine placement with your own,. I would think that since you have a B&K pre why not go with an older B&a...

Best Phono solid state under 2K?
the Adcom GFP 565 preamp has one of the best phono section for way uder 2k. I would also look at the older Classe gear such as DR-6&5 great built pieces with fab phono. 
Please help diagnose/fix CD problem
I am only guessing at this. You say the cd fails to spin. Sounds like a motor that spins the cd has burned out? I would say once that happens its time to replace this unit. You could play with it but I had this happen and usually the unit is ready...
