proac and atc compared to Harbeth monitor 30's
After checking through the threads you've initiated I'd like to make a suggestion. When I was looking for the "perfect" speakers, instead of asking for other's opinions I would purchase models that caught my interest. Keep them for a listen and re... 
subs and monitors
Not familiar with your monitors or the svs products but here's my experience. I have a similar sized listening room and recently purchased a Velodyne SPL-800 to augment the low end. This sub doesn't go as low as some but it works very well roundin... 
on Schweikert monitor
I replaced the VR-1s with AE-300s a few years ago and thought the Acoustic Energy were superior to Von Schweikert. My opinion but I did own them both at same time. Haven't owned the Studio 20s. 
Do high level sub inputs really sound better?
You could give it a try but my experience says you'll go back to ICs. 
Question about Fitting Z Plugs to Speaker cable??
Eventually? Yes the wire will oxidize and corrode, what doesn't? I recently purchased a used pair of expensive cables that were a few years old. When I removed one of the banana connectors the amount of corrosion was much more than expected. These... 
Recommended one make systems?
Not sure why you'd want to stick with one brand system other than simplicity or laziness. No offense intended. I suggest you look at Audiogon systems listed under "budget minded" for some ideas that work. Good luck and keep enjoying the music. 
1 or 2 subwoofer for small room & placement
Good question. I recently began experimenting with a sub in my music-only system. The sub between the speakers sounds much better to me than the corner placement. My sub is a Velodyne SPL-800II, love the small size, but I also have concerns about ... 
How do you listen, individual cut, full album?
Excellent point Chad, excellent album also. Radiohead's "OK Computer" is another example. 
Question about cleaning an amp's dusty contacts
This is a tough one. If I was a potential buyer I'd rather know the amps condition and take care of problem after purchase. The problem for you as seller is I would look for discount considering amps malady. Whichever way you go, full disclosure i... 
How do you listen, individual cut, full album?
Thanks for the input. As stated I grew up on vinyl and listening to the entire album seemed the way to get the full impact of whatever an artist was doing. One thing I noticed with the advent of cd and it's 74? minute length was albums became long... 
Help? Why Classe CAM-350s going into protection mo
If both amps shut down simultaneously it almost has to be upstream from them. I'd suspect the preamp. Beg, steal, borrow or by another to swap in. Or get anything with an adjustable line out to hook to the amps. A portable discman or ipod will suf... 
Vinyl Outselling CD
Man I do love a a good tomato. Makes me think of living in Greece where the tomato (or nearly everything) I ate was picked that day or the day before. 
LPs, v. iPods - round 1
I saw the ad last night also but more in passing so didn't have a chance to study it. The question I had was, how long was she gone for? Must've been weeks if he was going to rip his entire collection.No sense fighting the future. 
How to get 100 accurate azimuth?
I thought he meant tape head azimuth? 
selling vinyl and feeling?
Sold most of my collection after realizing the lps had sat in a closet for 12 years little disturbance. Kept a few for sentimental reasons but haven't listened to them. Many have been replaced by cd.No regrets at all as they would just be taking u...
