3.6 Maggie owners input needed on amps...........
Zenieth- The adcom's have enough power to drive the 3.6's with aplomb. However they aren't the cleanest amps available and you will be able to tell more with the 3.6's then the 1.6's. I have a pair of modified GFA-565 mono's and they sound ok, but... 
Are our own reviews tainted ?
Your not questioning MY views because I would never talk good about a product I own- :) Well maybe just a little. Being an audiophile is like a lot of things men pride themselves in, I put it in the class of things NO man will admit he is bad at, ... 
Crossover, point-to-point mods
You may get more help along these lines from the "Tweaks" section at the audio asylum. 
3.6 Maggie owners input needed on amps...........
There have been a few threads on this subject so search the archives. But to recap quickly in your price range look into getting the best bryston you can afford or a pre-owned Innersound ESL300, I would lean towards the innersound. BTW the 3.6's a... 
Avalon Eclipse's..To Sub or not to Sub
I used to own the eclipse and I ran them for a few years with out subs and then I decided to try them(a sub), with that speaker it helped an awful lot. I didn't realize how much music I had been missing.

How would you rate ???
The audience Au24 is suppose to be great(or so more then a few have told me) for the money, however another real sleeper that has been getting a lot of good press is the Xindak speaker cables http://www.stereotimes.comto read a review about the Xi...

Is there a future for Redbook players?
People(even some here) claim that vinyl is dead, that being said you can get pretty much what ever you want for analog gear. I don't see redbook cd going any where in the next 10 years, too many(companies) have to much invested. 
The Best Inexpensive Wines Available Now
Current faves Vermontie 2000 merlotparanga 2001 shiraz both can be had for under $10 a bottle and are pretty good for cheap wine. 
High End Fuses?

Jena Labs top of the line Speaker cables ??
I don't have the pathfinder but I do have the Valkyre and have listened to the pathfinder amany times. To my ears, if your system is up to the level they are simply the finest cables I have ever heard. I previously had Valhalla's and have demo'd a... 
higher end cd player
streetdaddy- If you mean the analog outputs of a DVD it does not input them. The only inputs it has are digital, that being said if your sattelite has a digital cable you could do both of them, just use optical on the DVD player and Coax digital o... 
higher end cd player
I am not positive but I think it has 3 inputs- optical, coax and AES/EBU and it may have an AT&T input as well but I can't say that for certain. Yes you can use it as a peramp to control volume on the inputs. 
higher end cd player
