How can you not have multichannel system
Your video analogy is absurd unless you have eyes in the back of your head.I can understand the live event being issued in multi-channel as the effect of crowd noise surrounding the listener is true to the event. Remixing "Blood On The Tracks" is ... 
How can you not have multichannel system

Bookshelf Speakers That Bolt or Screw Into Stands
The Revel M-20s have threaded inserts for bolting them to the Revel stands. I did not have the Revel stands so I bought some 1/4 inch thick plexiglass pieces to bolt them to my stands. I had to first drill holes in the plexiglass to match my stand... 
To repair/replace Utopia Be
It is straightforward as long as the leads to the driver are not soldered on. I've replaced bad drivers before (darn kids) but only one tweeter. Just be sure to note which wire goes where and remember there may be some pretty strong magnets involv...
