Stealth M5000
Never heard the M5000 but the Dreams are great, especially if used throughout the system. 
Listening chair?
Fjn04, I found the Backsaver, but is Mike's chair not the Morris Box Arm chair? 
Listening chair?
Fjn04, I cannot find the Morris Bow Arm chair on Relax the Back. Did you buy it long ago? 
Listening chair?
I started using the Ekornes Stressless for listening in 1968. I paid $199 for it. It is still used by my daughter. I presently have a crappy copy but seldom use it. I do use a handmade cherry rocker which has my ears just above the headrest. But I... 
Acapella vs. Avantgarde
Amfibius, I don't either, but my old Ionovacs burned a rod and the Hill Plasmatronic burned hydrogen or some compressed gas. I do know that at some point you need to replace something within the unit that gets consumed.Perhaps the tubes set a char... 
Acapella vs. Avantgarde
Amfibius, I have been there myself. Good luck. Is the flame affected by the amplification in the power supply? 
Acapella vs. Avantgarde
Amfibius, what speakers are you talking about. The picture postings don't work. 
MultiChannel too complicated for most...
I think it is apparent that some find mc enjoyable and others find nothing that tempts them. It is not a matter of complication anymore than it is that the mc group have low resolving systems with poor speakers that need the added clues from mc. 
Need advice re: Tube dampers

Kal, again all I can say is that I have yet to hear a demonstration with the traditional perspective at CES, THE Show, or the RMAF. Have you?

Were I to have ever heard a demonstration of mc with discrete channels that was not the "you are in the orchester" variety, I might be more tempted by mc. Even then the doubling of my investment in audio would be offputting as would the lack of mu...

Impepinnovavations, SQ and pseudo mc, wow! Those are wrong words to say in my opinion. Probably 20 years ago I invested heavily in trying to generate rear channel sounds using Haflers, Lafayette, and Audio Plus, I think it was called. Not once did...

Two channel would be preferable to two channel through a mc setup. There are just too few available mc recordings to undertake the expense, especially since no one at shows has shown the foresight to bother with good recordings. Often now days at ...

Chasmo, you are certainly right about how expensive it would be to match the quality of my two channel with at least three additional channels as well as how much more difficult it would be to deal with the proper placement of the speakers and set... 
Experience with Raul's Essential 3150
Gregadd, I do disagree, but hey no one owns a thread, as is obvious given the way many go far away from the initial start of the thread.
