If money is not a problem
There's a guy who poured the concrete foundation of his listening room into 2 bass horns and mounted huge drivers into it. Claims -0 db down to 10 hz (I believe).There's a blog and pictures somewhere out there, can't find it right now.That's what ... 
Biwire posts; how to connect?
I'm not sure which B&Ws you have, but I'd get a more powerful amp. I believe yours is 50 wpc. I'd stay away from Adcom with those speakers. 
Want to accept the Harbeth 7's, but...
It seems like you can bring the Harbeths to your System 1 to try them there. I assume you drive from one place to the other. 
Most improved players?
The Edge...took a few albums before he learned to play. 
Please explain Imports?
Another consideration is which master the imports are from. With an analog recording, my understanding is that the Japanese (for example) may get second or third generation masters. 
Jazz artists for late starter.
Benny Goodman (Carnegie Hall 1938) Louis Armstrong (Hot 5 and Hot 7)Django Reinhart/Stephane Grappellistretching...Bela Fleck 
Which "Kind of Blue". I'm so confused

I have had the same setup with all my speakers. Carpet over wood floor, cinder blocks on the carpet, tiptoes under the speakers (pointy side to the cinder blocks). Works great, and the tweeters are the perfect height. Remember, you want the tweete... 
What amp &pre amp are the best for Hales T8
Anything high curent, with large capacitors. Stay away from Adcom, Rotel, etc. I have a pair of Transcendence 5's and love my Eagle amp paired with it. Perfect match. You can find one used cheap enough...then send it to Russell at EKSC for a rebui... 
Need pre-amp help for Kappa 9 & Adcom GFA-555mkii
Pick up a used Eagle amp for $400 - someone just had one on Audiogon. It will drive any load, and the control is amazing...even better when Russell at EKSC rebuilds it.www.eagle-audio.com 
amp/speaker question
Why not bi-amp? Use a beefy solid state for the bottom. Shouldn't be more than $400 or so. 
Amp Advice for Newbies
I've had 3 Eagle amps, and still have one as my main amp, but be careful. They are older amps, and may need a "tune-up." B&K is a good recommendation - stay away from Adcom. 
Music Hall CD-25.5 vs CD-25 w/mods??
My choice was narrowed to the Rotel and the Music Hall also. I chose the Music Hall because I got it with mods (secondhand) for $500.My speakers hit about 35 hz very strong (down a lot at 30 hz), and I live in a NYC apartment, so I'll pass on a su...
