Best frieght company to ship Speakers
Missioncoonery - what freight class did you use? 
dynaudio c-4s in a small room?
Aw C'mon.....Good positioning in a good room makes any speaker better. Bad positioning in a bad room doesn't make a good speaker bad. 
Upgrading through the current Revel lineup
Any opinions? The price jump for used Revels doubles from the F52's to the Studio 2 and triples for the Salon 2. Are the Ultima product line that much superior to the Performa's? 
Cable Elevators killed my bass
You need to place the elevators on no more than 4 inch centers or it kills the bass.If they are more than 8 inches apart it will kill the treble too.You need to buy more elevators.

Modern twist on 70's speaker design?
Klipsch Heritage - LaSacala, Cornwall, Heresy and KlipschornIf you'd like a $30,000 boutiqey product (straight from the era of excess) check out the Shindo Latour, built around good ole Altec horns and drivers and Altec 15 inch woofers.

old revels vs new revels
If your considering buying into something within the current Revel product line, give the F52 serious consideration. 
Subs for coners or built-in sub inside speakers
I had the same problem and I solved it with the DT STS. Very slender and pretty speaker with and deep deep bass for HT. For 2 channel it displays nice deep bass, airy mids and highs. The reviews are not overstated on this affordable speaker. 
Small CD player
Thanks all. I'm out of rack space so size matters. Oppo is not a small footprint, it's just thinner and ridiculously lightweight. I'm currently using an Oppo DV980H, so that covers SACD. For CD, I use the Oppo with a Cambridge DacMagic. The DacMag... 
Where's the bass?
Definitive Technology ST or STS have built in subs. Bass galore and reasonable price. 
ps audio perfect wave transport
PS has been promising a cd product for years now. First it was going to be a "memory player", which was never produced Now this which looks to be a one disk music server, coupled with a renamed DAC product. I think PS needs a credibility check. Al...

Rega Planet Original
