Need advice on subwoofer
OK, you're British, so we'll type slow OK. (Just kidding, calm down).I have two HSU's - one in a bedroom system, and one in my guitar system - they're excellent at their price point, however the EQ set-up in the Velo DD and (my personal fav after ... 
open headphones AND speakers = Wow
Headphones and subwoofer together is pretty good too, but I assume you're right and it's some form of blasphemy. 
How often should you re-calibrate your ears?
Do it daily. Buy an instrument and pay 1/10th of what you'd spend on audio gear on lessons, and 1/10th the time obsessing about gear on practice, and you can recalibrate at will. It works for me.For sure it's nice to hear, see and support an artis... 
Speakers for 80s rock?
I've sen stratus silver's for $6-700.OK, if that's too much, the old classics - JBL L100's will completely fill the bill - excellent all around speaker with killer bass. 
Replace sunfire true sub with what ?
No brainer - Revel B15 (or B 30). You don't have to worry about placement as you have an EQ built in, and the output is outrageous. 
bryston warm up time
Remember: When it's on, it's wearing outWith a 20 year warranty - who cares? 
Speakers for 80s rock?
PSB Stratus Gold or Silver ("i" if available). 
big bucks on dvd player worth it??
Wait a while for the HD situation to settle out. No matter how good these players are, in 12 months a decent HD player will probably be far better. 
Subwoofer has a Hum
Nothing like a hummer. No, seriously, let's see if AGon will let this through (2nd try), while DK ads are rountinely permitted.In any case, not trying to be a wise guy, but have you tried swapping the subs? If the hum moves with the sub it's the w... 
B&W 703 - How to tame the highs?
Just something I notice from time to time - indisputably there are lots of B&W's listed for sale, and also indisputably they sell a lot of them. PSB and Paradigm also sell lots of low priced speakers, but there aren't many listed - try to find... 
B&W 703 - How to tame the highs?
Your dealer has Logan's and you're thinking of replacing your B&W's that can ear damaging tweeters with more B&W's? Am I'm missing something here? Doesn't he set the Logan's up? Have you heard them? And you're thinking about more B&W's... 
Monster Microphone Cable to the rescue
Try the Mogami cables. I did the same thing to locate my Revel B-15 and it works fine. The allegation is that Mogami wires more studios than anybody else, but again, in the audiophool world we have to have so much better than.....I'd like to think... 
Regarding DK Design Vs.1 Reference Mk2 amp ???
Zodiak - to get back to your original question, you have your choice of answers - Lrsky - 8-20-05 - "Many people are selling the DK Mark II's …,(advertising deleted) simply because the Mark III is out".Lrsky - 10-13-05 - "Our introduction of a Mar... 
Good passive subwoofer?
Just a little to augment Bignerd's thoughts - I suspect you know this trick, but in case you don't - to find best sub location, temporarily put the sub at your seating position, then walk around the room and see where it sounds loudest - that's wh... 
Amplifier Question
I'm sure your $ will be well invested, and making her happy is one way to get the investment started correctly. My wife and I got married on a beach in Key West with one of my buddy's as a witness. Relatives were specifically uninvited, even if th...
