Acoustic Damping Behind Speakers?
I like ATS Acoustic panels. They are relatively inexpensive and come in a variety of fabrics. They also sell on ebay which is where I made my first purchase with them.

Downsizing and child proofing
I went with Gallo Diva Ts and matching MPS-150 sub in my living room to satisfy my wife's aesthetics. Not the last word in sonics but they do just fine for movies or casual listening. Anyway, that's what the dedicated room is for. Good luck with t... 
Proac reference 8 signature or Meadowlark Kestrel
The Kestrel II is certainly a better looking speaker than the original Kestrel and to many people may sound better. I owned the Kestrel II for about six months and really tried to like it but it just didn't excite me. The sound was good and maybe ...

Whatever happened to Banlon shirts anyway?Oh yea, they're in product hell waiting to be joined by the compact disc.

I will expire before CDs, for sure.KijankiI will expire before CDs, for sure.KijankiI nearly wrote that exact statement a while back. At soome point in the future people will look at cds in a museum and think, "how quaint," but not in my lifetime.

Kijanki, thanks for the reply. No my comment concerning poor communicatiion skills was not directed at you. In fact, I have read many of your posts and never would have guessed English is not your first language. Especially since many of your post...

Kijanki, Computer CD Drive doesn't have any particular speed during ripping process - it is program controlled and changes from 1x to about 20x on my Mac.That is interesting as just recently I was ripping cds to my hard drive and noticed some were... 
Cheap but decent preamp ???
You did not specify remote control needed so I recommend a Nakamichi C5A. Very simple preamp with excellent phono and superrb build quality. OPen one up and you'll be amazed at the parts/build quality.

Okonrad, your situation sounds like you have a project for your sons. They could tidy this up in no time give the tools and incentive. My daughters have been invaluable with my learning process. :)
