Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
Albertporter, I will answer your questions in the order asked, yes, maybe and no. I have exchanged power cords with cables made with high grade components and haven't noticed any sonic benefit. Is it my ears which don't hear as well as others? Is ... 
Is It Me or The Speakers ? ?
As you are biwiring, simply disconnect the speaker wire going to the woofer on the suspect speaker to see how the tweeter is working. Do this on both speakers to compare. The tweeters should sound identical. From your description it sounds like a ... 
Replacement Fuse's - What are my options ????
With respect to the audiophile gods, I can't imagine how a fuse (as long as it is proper value) can have any effect on sound quality. Pile on. 
Advice on Budget System?
I owned the VR-1s powered by the Audio Refinement Complete two years ago and thought they worked very well together in a small room. Not sure how well the 50 watts would sound with the VR-2s. Good luck and check back in after you put the system to... 
what is the difference between good and bad music
When I was in the USAF back in 73 I remember argueing the merits of rock vs country music with a co-worker from Texas. After a few discussions that went nowhere he said in his Texas drawl, "if don't say anything about my music, I won't say anythin... 
What is the best Discman?
I also use a D-EJ100. Sometimes with Sennheiser HD-600s or 580s. Although not as cool or convenient, I much prefer it to my wife's ipod nano. I do however like the earphones that came with the ipod, they really fit my ears well. 
Need recommendation for cheap cable terminators
Another vote for the bare wire. But if you are looking for some nice but inexpensive banana plugs try knukonceptz. search them on ebay or here. A decent heavy duty connector that won't break the bank. 
Home made absorption panels.....

Your listening chair
The wife and I were searching for patio furniture a few weeks ago and I ran across a lounge chair at Wal-Mart that was one of the most comfortable chairs I've ever sat in (mabe I wsa tired). It looked to have the same sitting position as the chair... 
Home made absorption panels.....
My solution was similar to Tvad's but I used a heavy cotton cloth which my grandson and I painted. It was a nice project for him. We spent an entire day buying the material, building and then painting the panels. They have his signature. 
what are your views regarding reviewing styles ?
Valence? Great word. BTW, what's your USTA rating? 
Very short speaker cable length recommended?
Quaker State and Pennzoil recommend oil changes every 3,000 miles while my manual says 7,000 miles. Hmmm. 
Factory Refurbished Amp
Good question. You tell us after 100 hours or so. 
Silver vs Copper cables
It seems to reason if silver conducts an electrical signal better, the end result will be better sound. How about driving your car down a bumpy road versus a smooth highway at 60 mph, which would be the better ride? Unless you're churning butter f...
