cd player with volume control - under 500
The old B&K amplifiers had a rather low impedance (22?) Ohms not an ideal candidate. I tried the same thing with an old B&K ST140, while it made sounds, I quickly discarded this approach. From there to a passive pre-amp which was better (t... 
Bi Amping... worth it?
Worth a try! 
DIY Speakers, worth the hassles?
I have never tried building my own. The commercialy made speakers that I seem to enjoy all seem to be designed and built around some pretty sophisticated tesing equipment. I don't have access to a Fast Fourier, quailty microphones, etc. I am under... 
B&K ST-202 or Forte 1A?
I would not recommend either amp. I don't think either amp could be truly comfortable with a 2 Ohm load in stock form. Perhaps the mods on the B&K have adressed this? 
What would you upgrade next?
I can only adise you from a 2 channel perspective. I would upgrade the B&K. 
Return to Audio: What Products to Consider?
If you have been out of the loop for a while, I think the most interesting new stuff is coming from TacT. 
Cryogenics: accomplish what and work how?
Tim, nice work. Thanks.

Tube 777, You are certainly entitled to go your own route. I can' help but think that you may be putting the horse before the buggy. Used speakers will offer much greater value, especially at your price point. Three way speakers are by there very ... 
What do you think about this idea for the FORUMS??
Audiogon, you guys are the best. Talk about quick and efficent service. I'm impressed. 
attenuators
Sorry, but I don't understand your SACD question. 
Review: Thiel Audio CS-2 Speaker
Thiel CS-2 impedance is 6 Ohms nominal, 5 Ohms minimum. 
attenuators
From my experience you will probably hear an improvement, depending on the attenuators of course (EVS?). Source selection may become a bit more difficult. 
Is a Tube Amp Capable of High Current?
That is an important difference. It is good to think in terms of % when dealing with impedance. It will probably work out. 
Change needed at Audiogon
I'm not verified. I'm just not comfortable giving up so much acess via internet, yet. I had my whole system taken over and ruined by a rogue foriegn site within the last 8 months. Once burned, twice shy. I consider myself honorable, I hope others ...

Bear, thank you again for sharing your insight.
