EQ for a pair of subs
Thanks guys, this is a big help and I'm looking into all of it. I'm planning on stereo bass and looks like the SMS only has the ability to employ one filter across multiple subs (unless I'm missing something), so not sure that would work. The DSpe... 
In need of a powercord
I'm about to try the Supra LoRad 2.5 in my system. Got a good review in Positive Feedback a while back, and if you're willing to take a few minutes to screw the plugs on the ends of the cable they can be had for about $65 for 1.5m. Best of luck. 
Building new house need advice on a dedicated room
I'm also in the process of designing a dedicated listening room. Regardless of how you proceed I'd recommend getting the book Premium Home Theater by Earl Geddes so you're at least familiar with various design theories and approaches. Despite the ... 
Cardas Golden Reference vs. Triode Wire Labs 10+
It does seem strange the GR interconnects were bright. What is your other equipment? Triode makes it easy to try their PCs, so why not give them a shot and see what happens? But I agree with Mechans that the interconnects may be the relatively mor... 
Cable Recommendations
It would help to know what you're currently using and what types of sound characteristics you're looking to preserve or improve. Also, you don't mention any power conditioning or dedicated lines?Morrow and My Audio Cables(MAC) seem to get consiste... 
Bookshelf speaker ideas....
Hard to imagine you'd be disappointed with the PSBs, but then you never know which speaker will really "do it" for any individual's preferences (would help if you went into some detail in what you're looking for soundwise) so definitely try to get... 
Is anyone familiar with the Ayre Dac??
I haven't heard it but have had their C-5xeMP for a short time. It was excellent but as with David I would also say the sound tended a little to the warm or polite side (maybe part of the Ayre house sound if there is one?), which may be good or ba... 
Speaker cables or interconnects??
I'd put the Acoustic Zen Satori on your list. Detailed but natural-sounding highs with expressive and full mids. Bass is also full but not the tightest I've heard (not bad though), but that will likely be somewhat system dependent. Haven't heard t... 
WHAT TV SHOULD I GET RIGHT NOW?
Since you don't get direct light plasma is possibly a good option, especially if you have off-angle seating positions as mentioned above. The other thing I've noticed in watching some friends' LCD-based sets is that motion seems less fluid than wi... 
Rega p2, WT Classic or Pro-Ject perspective?
Not to hijack the thread, but Roscoeiii I'd be very interested in your impressions of the Amadeus and what you upgraded to and what improvements it offers. 
WT Classic VS Rega P2 VS Pro-Ject Perspective
Not familiar with the Pro-Ject but I own an older Rega P2. From what I've read I'd think the WT would play at a significanlty higher level than the P2 but haven't heard it in person so fwiw. Personally I lust after an Amadeus. Best of luck. 
When was the last time you listened to live music?
If a recording wasn't recorded to sound like live music (i.e. overdamped/processed studio recording) would you still want your system to make it sound that way? And what would all that coloration do to truly well-recorded live performances? I'd ra... 
Looking for DAC suggestions
Whole heartedly agree with both Phaelon and B_limo. You can't go wrong with a card, and you almost can't go right buying him a DAC for reasons stated above. You Da Bomb. 
Care to put these in order? KEF JBL B&W Soliloquy
Haven't heard KEF or JBLs so can't really put them in any order here. But I have heard the Soliloquy 6.2 vs. the B&W 805N without a sub in the same system. The 805s sounded very good but very limited in the bass and also in the lower mids. A s... 
Speaker stands for Reference 3A De Capo i
Congrats on the speakers. Always wanted to hear some Ref 3As but haven't as of yet. Are you still looking for stands or are you going to use your Osiris (that's what I'd do unless they just aren't the right height)?
