New speaker with imaging
Vandersteen 3A Signatures would be my choice.Will 
Vandersteen 3A sig. Placement and Room Sensitive?
I agree with Bigtee about the crossover. Perfect idea. But I might consider a cheaper alternative to the 3A sigs (like the 2ce Sig) since you won't be able to exploit the full potential of the 3A's in that setup.Then I would spend the rest of the ... 
Is the dunlavy SC-IV still worth to buy?
I would say "No", but I don;t know what your tastes are. I used to own Dunlavy SC-V's, and they (along with IV's) will play pretty loud, and will probably have lots of bass impact with those Krell's. I sold my Dunlavy's and ended up buying Vanders... 
Audioquest Anaconda vs Panther, Cheetah
In my system, I used Anaconda's before Cheetah's. Neither of these cables are forward in my opinion. Cheetah is cleaner and more laid back than Anaconda, and I like it much better. Havn't heard Panther, but I would guess it is the same sound with ... 
vandersteen 5 to 5a
I have owned both- I upgraded my 5's to 5A. The first thing that struck me when I got the 5A's from the factory was- they retrieve more low level detail- that, for me, was the most signifigant improvement. They do everything slightly better though... 
How Loud Do You Listen??? Do You Know?????????
Wow, I feel in the minority! I listen at about 70 to 75 db max most of the time... 80-85 if the mood really hits, but only for short periods of time. I'm only 26, and this makes me feel darn old!:)Will 
Halcro Amps with Richard Gray?
I have no experience with that combination- but that said, I would not do it. RGPC does not recommend that, I don't think. Worth a try though, if you have the gear give it a shot !Will 
Any opinions on Boltz CD or Multi-Media racks?
I have a ordered three times from Boltz with no problems. I use the (forget the model number) multimedia rack and place my cd's in it ao the are slanted. That way my cd and dvd collection does double duty as a sound diffuser. I like Boltz stuff, a... 
Cathedral Ceiling the Culprit in New Music Room?
I had a room in my house that I used for two years with a cathedral ceiling, just slightly larger dimensions (26x15x 8->11h). Just for the fun of it I moved my gear into another room here that is almost exactly the same size, but with fewer win... 
Vandersteen Quatro speaker - link to info
The cabinet is a lot deeper on the quatro's, which would make me think that maybe there is more insulation for the back wave off the speakers to run through (vs the 3A sig).. which *might* give the quatro an advantage. Then again, the quatro has t... 
Audioquest Cheetah- Anyone?
I have the Cheetah interconnects (they replaced AQ Anacondas) and I hear a much more open and inviting presentation of music with these in my system... I can't wait to upgrade my speaker cables next!Perhaps they just arn't synergistic with some of... 
Get rid of the Dunlavys?
I would keep the Dunlavys and upgrade the electonics instead. Will 
Audioquest Dialectric-Bias System
I would like to mention that the Vandersteen model 5's also use 9 volt batteries in the crossover, as well as the high pass filter. 3 in the crossover, 1 in the high pass filterWill 
Vandersteen question
mootsdude- One more comment- sorry everyone for the triple post :)I once used Klipshorns and LaScalas. You will not regret switching to Vandersteen. I loved the sounds from Klipsch speakers for a couple years, and then I couldn't listen to them an... 
Vandersteen question
mootsdude- I would say that 25 watts might not be enough depending on room size and your listening habits. 25 watts of power can play fairly loud, but you should try and take the amp to a Vandersteen dealer ahead of time so you can see if it sound...
