Dedicated Home Theater/Listening Room Suggestions
Use a drop ceiling - you never know what might come up in the future, and a drop ceiling will be invaluable. Damping of it is also important.One of the best resources I've found is http://www.acoustics101.com/Good luck.

Just for fun - try the fuse first. 
How to audition used speakers???
"Since the output of the receiver is small,..... I feel that you don't need a subwoofer if you have a good pair of floorstanders. "A sub takes the power away from the main amp, and of the amp is small as you say, then all the more reason you need ... 
Horns vs Ribbons vs Dyanamic
"These are almost never used in pro audio - so that tells you a lot." Like what? B&W's get used in the pro audio a lot, even with their flaccid, bloated bass. Berenger get's used a lot in pro audio, but sends shivers up the spines of many here.

What is the best used sub-$500 DAC?
I second Tonyptony's EAD DSP7000 Mk.III suggestion.I tried out even the Musical Fidelityunit that Sterophile went all gooey about, and the EAD was much better. 
Wizard of Oz / Dark Side of the Moon
A few years ago they had the DSMTM / WOO combination pre-synched for your listening pleasure on PBS.I have a tape of it, and there are some very interesting coincidences. 
Harbeth vs. Tyler
If you think it's hard to find a Harbeth review, try finding a thread on Tylers (or even not on Tylers), without Bartie shilling all day long.Really - they're both good, but take the resident promotional goon's words for what they're worth.And any...
