Harbeth P3ESR vs. Aerial 5B
The Aerials have a slot recessed in the back for hanging on a wall.All speakers are best in free space, I'm trying to find a good compromise.

I think Bose does this with their wave radio. PMC's are the speakers that I am considering. 
Best active speaker
These are considered to be excellent:http://www.neumann-kh-line.com/neumann-kh/home_en.nsf/root/prof-monitoring_studio-monitors_nearfield-monitors_O300#As for the best, I would say the large ATC's.

So you don't recommend bi-amping because of gain problems between the two amps and/or because each amp will perform differently based on the passive crossover points?

No, I'd like to hear what you have to say on this. Ten or fifteen years ago it was popular to bi-amp large speakers by using a SS amp for the LF and a tube amp for the HF.In better active designs such as ATC's studio monitors one amp is used for e...

@ Ngjockey,Why do B&W and hundreds of other manufacturers provide two sets of binding posts on their products?Consumer demand, to sell more amplifiers, for bi-wiring?Ideally, all speakers would either be active or come with an external crossov...

I can ask W4S about this if I decide to go in that direction. Thanks for the help and I have a better idea now of my options.

@Rhljazz,Bryston has been around a long time and has a stellar reputation. That's really the only reason.I've been looking at ICE amps and other class D amps. I just don't trust them. Bryston is a known commodity.

I thought about a pro amp for the bass, a QSC or MC2. The Powerpac 300 really isn't much power for the woofer, when you consider good powered subs typically have 1K Watt amps.The 7B-SST2 would be plenty of power @ 600W, maybe I'll do that. Would t...

I plan on using the new Wyred4Sound Dac2 with volume control. It uses the newest Dac chips from ESS so I think it's as good as any other high-end Dac.

Or I could do two 7B-SST2's @ 600W per. Would that be better than trying to bi-amp each speaker?

The Y adapters are a great idea. What if I used four Bryston Powerpacs, two 300's for the woofers and two 120's for the heads?If I mounted these to the back or bottom of each speaker it would keep the cable runs short.The gain difference of the am...

Help with amplifier connections
Thanks for the suggestions. I emailed PMC in the UK, Flying Mole lists them as their US distributor. No word back yet. I don't mind buying from Flying Mole directly or from a UK based webstore, of which I've found several.I notice that the DAD-M10... 
Help with amplifier connections
If you don't mind, where did you buy your Flying Mole products?I'm having a hard time finding a dealer for these. Google shows a lot of dealers in the UK and one that I've found in the states, but they all carry the older version of the DAD-M100's...
