Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A
I don't know how Vandersteen suggests measuring listening position from the speaker. Dunlavy and Thiel suggest measuring directly from listening position to the the center of the woofer (though their phiolosphies part ways in other regards). I thi... 
Best preamp is no preamp: always true?
Sogood51 got it right. No, its not always true. Sometimes its true.

Let me guess, your dog's name is "Smokey". 
"...Pet Free..."
Gee, I thought they were giving away a kitten with each purchase. 
Vandersteen 2Ce Signature vs 3A
With all due respect I have to disagree with "almost any size room will work for the 2s." The 2's can be very sensitive to rooms and placement. For example, for many years Sound By Singer in NYC demoed the 2's in a tiny room. Just plain awfull. Ye... 
What is the optimum throw distance?
Other things to consider are: angle, cabling, heat, noise and cone. 
Who Has The Best service department
Reubent, just to show how these things tend to vary from person to person. I've had good experiences with conrad-johnson and rather poor service from Audiophile Systems. Numerous e-mails and phone calls with nary a response. When I did get a live ...

Aragon 8008 bb vs. Krell KSA-150
I've always admired the the real Krells. I've never been really impressed by Aragon. While the Aragon was a step up from entry level, it never stepped up to the top tier, IMHO.

Thiel. 
The Debate's Not Over
Yani vs. Tesh? LOL! 
DLP or LCD what do you think
Joeylawn3611, while what you posted is true for most affordable DLP's that use 1 chip. It's not true for high end DLP's that use 3 chips. 
Any shows coming up?
Baffled, shows are not condusive to serious auditions. Shows give you the chance to hear new and interesting things that might be worth following up on. Don't get me wrong, I still think they're fun, but, show room visits are still inevitable. 
Isolation of my chair, am I crazy???
May I suggest balancing bowling balls on your shoulders?
