New floor stand speakers
Are these choices within your price range and size limits? 
What music do you use to audition equipment/cables
Steely Dan: "Gaucho or Aja", Mannheim Steamroller 7, Telarc Sampler #2 or #3. I also use a Tara Labs: "Into Infinity" Burn in Disc. (white/pink and brown noise) on repeat. 
Cable Cooking/Burnin
Touche', I say to your per se. 
Solid state power + tube pre or visa versa?
Listen to the speakers first. They influence the sound you will hear the most. Second imo would be the preamp. Ask the speaker mfgr. What they used to voice the speakers and what they recommend.As far as tubes or solid state there are tens of thou... 
What would you do?
Report them to Audiogon and let their I T people set up a sting operation. I they are caught they can be tried and convicted of fraud. Worse case they get twenty lashes with a magic harmonizer.

What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Kurt Elling "Man In the Air" Great vocals and an all star orchestra.I am trying out some Tara Labs I.C's I like what I am hearing! 
Audiophile Boston pressing?
I have two of each of them. Originals. I am taking them to the grave!Saw them live again this summer for the sixth time. Always a great concert band. 
ARC Ref 75 vs REF 150
ARC Ref 250 or similar (Coda, McIntosh, Threshold, Bolder, Sim Audio) for the best performance with those Dyn's. 
Revel F206 power needs/Amp??
I would suggest McCormack DNA 125 or similar. Make sure the amp has a robust power supply and doubles watts into a 4 ohm load. The Revels are not very sensitive (88db) and will require "quality" watts to drive them accurately. 
Need some suggestions for a new audio rack
IKEA has many nice choices in your price range. 
Small room....treating 1st reflection points
@Kijanki,My room multiplies out to amplify 36.75Hz. What table shows how to treat that frequency? Size, shape, density etc. Any recommendations would be appreciated. 
Pay Pal Protection?
You need to direct all questions to paypal.You should be covered by their policies. Audiogon is not the one who will issue the refund. Read their policies as well. 
Most overrated brands?
