How Loud Do You Listen??? Do You Know?????????
I typically listen in the mid 80dB range, I have measured to the mid 90dB range in my room, which sounds great but is just too loud for me.

Nscercs- Cheerfully ignore didactially's posts, search his other threads here and you'll see why I say this. I only mention it because you seem new here and I don't want you to become misguided by, for lack of a better word, a fool. Enjoy entering... 
Who has solved the HVAC air noise problem?
Bill- weren't you planning on running ac in the winter in this room? As a form of heat to offset the BTU's of heat from your amps, or had the plan changed? In any case I am quite curious how this will turn out. 
Favorite SACD's
I agree Gerry, Roxy Music- Avalon is great! Its been a few years and now I have a few hundred SACD's and some are REALLY good and a few disappoint, that being said I am impressed with what the format has to offer. When did you pick up a SACD player? 
Maggie 3.6R driven by Antique Sound labHurricane??
I agree with Rooze, until you get BIG power on the Maggies you are not hearing what the speakers are capable of. I tried tube amps and while they were great in the midrange, everything else suffered signifcantly.

Tube Amp Suggestions
At any rate, my view is based on levels of distortion produced by a component, which is measurable. Not how it 'sounds'. That's enough for me to doubt your credibility and seriously wonder who moved the rock and set you free. I trust my ears, I h... 
sacd connection
I didn't want to curse him ;) that being said I agree completely, I have a dead philips. 
sacd connection
If you have no way to connect the 5.1 for SACD simply run SACD in stereo(it seems to be your only choice with out buying a new component) and use a digital cable from the philips to the krell for 5.1 on DVD's. You can switch from analog out and di...
