crossover design
You may need to go to the madisound or Parts Express forums where there's plenty of knowledge in system design. More information will be needed too. 
Big Stupid Warm Speakers
above post will put to shame many of the others people have listed in the bass department. What they call bass is "audiophile" bass to the 20's at best. There's little power in comparison. You should listen to the various speakers and see for your... 
Big Stupid Warm Speakers
Both of these can sound very good. The VMPS Supertower/R SE',FF3 and FF1's sound excellent but need some care in set up. Bass is world class to 20hz, that's a very honest 20hz btw on the FF1 and Supertower, mid twenties on the FF3. There's two 15'... 
Rotel RMB-1095 vs. Parasound HCA 2205AT
I suspect you'd never notice any difference between the two. I'd opt for the Parasound but Rotel is very good also. Your question is pretty hard for someone to explain to you as you must not have much knowledge and therefore nobody would be able t... 
Adding an equalizer
Your room definitely changes the sound. If the sound bothers you enough you should try equalization. I'm using what was the top end of Audio Control's equalizer line and it has zero degradation that I can detect as I can switch it in and out on my... 
Ultimate challenge biggest bang speaker
These will do what you want. Winner of CES 2002 and 2003 best of high end for good reason. They sound amazing,like one judge said "the RM 40's sounded like other's almost 20k speakers", they do too.An absolute must listen to in the price range. Th... 
New grill fabric for Dunlavy
If you can't do it take it to an upholstery shop. It's actually pretty easy as all you have to do is stretch it out and reattach it, just did my VMPS's a few months ago. You can also get new grill cloth from Madisound or Parts Express. Dunlavy is ... 
Will an entry level tube preamp help w/ B&K ST-140
Do it. I'm glad I discovered how much a tube pre can help a system sound better. As a matter of fact it's hard to think of using an SS pre again. You'll find that the tube pre will take your system to another level over the Rotel pre. You can get ... 
Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power?
"Shorts or hot wires cause electrical fires. Don't breakers deal with shorts?"Thanks, good point. What is the chance of being grounded and touching the chassis when the chassis is hot anyway. I'll risk it and so does my family. 
Is cheater plug safe with grounded monster power?
The third pin is a safety ground and the cause of many woes. Many of us grew up without it and are still here. The third pin is a good idea but not absolutely necessary. Be sure to make sure your outlets have the polarity correct, this is also imp... 
Krell 400xi or Aragon 8008/28k
I'd go with the Aragon separates. 
TacT2.2-A true Revolution?
I believe you've discovered how much room acoustics affect the sound. It is a revelation and most people have no idea how important it is. It's a whole new level of sound quality and realism. 
Best Speaker Match for JC-1's : VMPS or Von S.?
Forgot to add you should go over to the VMPS circle at audiocircle.com and ask. I know one person had a chance to hear both at a dealer I believe in Washington D.C. who carries both lines. He ended up with the RM 40's but it seems like it was a cl... 
Best Speaker Match for JC-1's : VMPS or Von S.?
At minimum you owe it to yourself to listen to the VMPS. I've been in the hobby 30 years and like it when I get alot for my money. They are definitely worth hearing. You should consider the RM 40's. The ones I heard belong to an opera singer who i... 
Pre with HT bypass that will improve over Krell
Friz1313 is exactly right. I presently have an ARC LS 16 and before the ARC I had the Krell. It's no contest, the ARC is much more musical and cleaner without any grain. There won't be any doubt in your mind which is better. I've had the LS 16 for...
