MC5200 or a MC275 with preamp
If the MC275 is within your budget and provides the necessary power to properly drive your speakers I would recommend that you go for it! 
Speaker placement in strangely shaped "room"?
You really need to provide dimensions, we are not mind readers. For ex. If you have 15' wide by 25' long you wouldn't need to worry about corner placement because you could use the long wall method. 
Cincinnati, Ohio
I am looking forward to attending some of your get-togethers! 
If you wanted to impress someone, which track?
I have many favorites, currently I am revisiting Steely Dan "Gaucho" and "Aja". Impeccable writing, producing and musicianship by all parties involved. 
KEF LS50 Integrated recommendation
I may be able to demo the Simaudio. I have a local dealer. The Naim may be a little more difficult to get my hands on. I have owned Unison in the past and liked it very much. Musical Fidelity, no dealer.Thanks for the replies so far!

AURUM CANTUS LEISURE 2SE MKII 
how can I make the back wall transparent?
I think you are making matters worse by confusing what wall the OP is addressing. He really means the front wall (which is the wall behind his front speakers) People on this forum often call the walls by the wrong name. The front wall faces the li... 
Is the Oppo-105 with Modwright modifications
Since sound and taste and all the other things we discuss here are all so subjective, I doubt that you will get an answer that is not subjective and therefore of little use to you.These types of questions just end up going in circles to nowhere. A... 
Is Tom Evans Audio Design out of business?
~ Ladok: I will have T.E. look at this thread. I just received a new Groove Plus SE from him a few weeks ago! It is outstanding in every way. I assure you he is still working. Maybe a personal event has taken place. I have already forwarded thi...
