I agree on FED EX, and it seems the only way Zu ships is Fed ex anyway from my dealings with them, so don't worry.

Onhwy61, 20-20k is your description of a full range audio spectrum, not a full range driver, meaning the limits of the driver themselve is full range without filter, So no its not 20-20 but that means that fostex or Lowther never did it either, so...

By the way the ying and yang theory apply here, Always gonna be the people with the opposite reaction, or simply want to slow something down or hurt it... You bring something new or advanced in a way nobody else has done exactly or conventionaly a... 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
Dgad, to be fair I mis-stated.. Not research, but from what I have read, and seen mostly from people commenting at shows is the Audio research equipment used with wilson is a pretty common combo. Sorry 
WILSON AUDIO/ cost vs. value
The new Watt/Puppy 8, look very interesting.. I have seen they supposedly have corrected a lot with this speaker, whatever that means. However, in my experience I heard a Pair of some Grand slamms in 2000' so not sure what version they were up to ... 
Please recommend CD player w/volume under $5500
I'm on the keep the preamp wagon... You will lose something without it, mainly the full body sound.. a lot of the hiend cd players are a little lite on the bass as well, and with no pre it could be very anemic, and you have a tube amp I believe so... 
Opinion between MacIntosh CD Player and others?
Mcintosh is good stuff for the pre's and Amps, you can do better sound and for a far better price in digital however... Just my Opinion.Definatly audition one though, never know the full on mac magic system could be the key. 
rotel rb1090 or odyssey stratos mono extremes
Well no matter what if you put mono extremes is about 10 times the amplifier in sound and quality... So thats a choice you need to make based on price, but it is very safe to say that you will not be going down in anyway from the Rotel. I have hea... 
The best power conditioner for less than $1K?
Remove the Monster I had a 2600 which was actually better for 2 channel cause it had less filtering than your monster, but it still was restricted slightly in the lower mids and bass causing it to be a bit less organic sounding, Go for a Power Lin... 
Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality?
PerkadinPiece for piece I say you need to hear an exact upgrade... Believe me Klipsch did spec. the reference pretty well, but used .14 cent Capacitors and inductors, I have heard these speakers done with outboard crossovers all of the same value ... 
Will increasing size of amp improve sound quality?
Crossovers are excellent upgrades in klipsch, especially the reference series I have heard with the upgrade, totally gets about 20% more everything or better. Cleaner bass that helps keep up with the already slightly hot mids and highs, bigger sou... 
Best used amp in the $1500 range
Odyssey Extreme, Possibly a mcintosh, but your gonna only find pretty old models at that cost.. McCormack is good, but is a toss up between it and the Odyssey depending on the system, another one I never heard but is in the range to outclass many ... 
To seal or not to seal ...
#1- the Tile will kill you, and concrete walls can be even more painful.. Better Look into really doing some drywall or at least cheap hanging and laying carpets on some of those surfaces and see how it will all sound first.. The opening can't hur... 
differences between tube and solid state designs
Biomimetic, I guess certain designs don't follow the Audiophile written law to a T' so people can't believe how certain things work, don't know!
