Totally overwhelmed (speakers under $5k)
I’m doing a similar search for <$5,000 speakers; a bit of a diverse selection I admit. Current contenders are: Salk Sound Song3 Encore Philharmonic BMR Monitors Revel F206 (or 226Be) Ascend Acoustics RAAL Sierra Towers Spatial Audio huh... 
What are good jumpers for bi-wire spks?
Just curious, but I always wire to the top-end side for the straightest path to the tweeter and let the signal travel through the flat-bar jumpers to the woofer. Am I missing something, or would jumpers not make a damn bit of difference in the top... 
DH Labs as the next step?
I'd agree with Bulldogger on the different strengths of the two mentioned cables. I went with the Q10's and am very pleased. It really depends on your system and tasted though. If your looking for more extended top-end, I'd vote for the Q10, other... 
Running bi-wire cables backwards OK?
Don, I would do as you proposed, hooking up all four leads on the amp end. Should not cause a problem but I will guesss you'll have to go through another break-in period with the reverse signal directions and all the moving around you've had to do... 
Please recommend some good music DVDs!!
I'll 3rd the James Taylor DVD "Live at Beacon...". Beautiful color, punchy video and very well produced. Sound wise I love it! Much closer to studio quality than concert quality. It appears it was produced/mixed to present the concert in a "you ar... 
speaker cable
Can someone elaborate on Waldhorners comment on the electrical properties/cause and effect of cables. Can I search for a specific effect based on cable specs? i.e. if I want more-extended highs, can I narrow my search based on certain range of cap... 
Cables and lengths
Yes, I will have a 51" RPTV between the speakers. I need 5 interconnects and 3 double runs of speaker wire. With the amp positioned behind the TV and between the speakers I'll need 3-meter interconnects and 3-meter speaker wires. With the amp in t... 
UPS Question/Problem
I filed a fraud complaint with Ebay and their dispute resolution site, but I'm finding out that they don't really have any teeth (and seller never acknowledged it). Seller was just mailed a check from UPS for his damage claim for $611. So now sell... 
UPS Question/Problem
Here's an update on the fraudelant seller. I paid him $35 to ship and insure for $1,600. Seller states he does not recall this, and only insured it for $600. I just spoke to UPS and they inform me that the seller did NOT insure AT ALL! He pocketed... 
UPS Question/Problem
Thank You to everyone for your input!! I don't feel nearly as bad now after hearing all of your advice and some similar experiences. I don't think the seller is interested in my wishes and assisting me with the insurance to replace the speaker, bu...
