Bookshelf vs. Floorstand
A good bookshelf will perform better than a cheap floorstander as you suspect and can hold their own against even many good floorstanders, you do need good stands for bookshelf speakers so you must keep that in mind in your choice between the two.... 
Here we go again: $5000 budget, which HT speakers?
I have extensive experience with the full line of Vmps speakers and subs, I have owned or listened to all of the models in your price range, I can give you some great ideas but would need to know your room size, listening tastes and have a better ... 
anyone have any experience with Krell Amps humming
Rob, I think the RCA center conductor is wired in parallel with pin 2, the shorting pins short pin 1 and 3. I think the small silver piece he is talking about is the cable release. Krell amps come from the factory with the pins in I think? If the ... 
P.Gabriel in Hi-fi +...a real treat.
Ok Justin...THAT DID IT, I'm off to best buy.Dave 
Edmund Fitzgerald-Which Gordon Lightfoot LP?
Great song, stuck my toe in Superior last summer...COLD WATER, nothing like the other great lakes in the summer. 
Help, too bright
Mp3's sound bad even at 320kbs if you ask me, they are best played in the boom box outside. I copy all my cd's as wave files.Dave 
Which amp for 100-500 hz jbl ti120
Try Bryston, you can find an older pro model in your price range.Dave 
Is it worth it?
People that buy the more costly pre/pro's are in most cases looking to get higher two channel quality to go with all the DD/DTS stuff. Everything is built to a price point, for the person who does not have a high quality two channel pre mixed in w... 
What does your common sense tell you?
I can tell you that I have paid through PayPal a few times and the money transfer is very fast..Not hours. If the person with less than great feedback is going to pay with paypal you may be ok with him, on the other hand we are talking about money... 
Placette, VS First Sound VS Audio Synthesis Passio
I've listened to the Placette and Bent units in my system and liked them both, the placette has great detail but is lacking in bass responce compared to the bent unit, or I guess you could say that the Bent passive is laid back with better bass an... 
What does your common sense tell you?
Interested means nothing, if there is no offer of money then move on to the first person that makes an offer that you can live with. When I want something...I make an offer. Don't waste your time with tire kickers.

You must have the pins if you are going to use the rca's or you will get hum. Did you buy this new? Krell sounds best balanced. The shorting pins go in pin 1 and pin 3.Dave 
Am I doing this right?
The unused channel should be no problem, it will have no input connected. Just make sure that your speaker cables are hooked to the right amp connections so as to match the inputs from your pre.Dave 
SF can't repair Pre/pro What to do?
Sorry to hear such a bad story, hope you can get SF to make it right. What did the SF dealer have to say about this? Does not make me want to ever deal with this company when I hear a story like yours.Dave 
Electrostats
Yes they are, and so are ribbons. The problem is not so much in the type of music...but the quality of the recordings. A great deal of rock recordings were recorded (lots of compression) to sound loud only. These types of speakers are not forgivin...
