Speaker Cables for Soundlab's &/or Electrostatics
You've already done almost everything you need to do. There's absolutely no substitute for an actual demo. So no matter what is recommended, I wouldn't go for it unless you actually listen to it. (Its very tempting to not demo when people say "if ... 
Any Suggestions for SS Amp for Devore Nines?
An Ayre V-5 will sound really, really good with those speakers. BAT and Pass would be good alternatives. 
Goodtube integrated
Of the 3 you mention, I like Rogue. Made in the US and they really stand behind their products if something goes wrong. Excellent SQ as well. 
Manufacturer Repairs? What is a reasonable time?
I really don't know what the problem is here, but something doesn't sound right about this whole situation. Maybe the business is in some type of trouble. Its possible they may not have the resources available (parts, labour or both), to fix the a... 
Pioneer PD-65 & Parasound z-dac
It may be worth it to get the unit fixed. If it turns out that you like something else better, you'll have no problem selling it. Its a very well made transport and the demand is high. I had stable platters in my EAD T1000, Audio Alchemy (Don't re... 
Cables more hype than value?
Bo1972,"I love audio so much, because I love to test. And Always looking for the best. This testing will never stop untill I die."Yes, but be careful. When Audiolabyrinth catches you saying Audioquest is the best, even better than Tara, the day ma...

Good work. Its an excellent speaker. 
Center Channel Speaker Question
"Am I correct in understanding that all I need do is use center channel wire, hook up 1st LM1 and continue wire to 2nd LM1 effectively wiring in series? If the result is not pleasing then I can fall back to using 1st LM1 as center."No, that's para... 
Center Channel Speaker Question
"Sorry to disagree, but B&W states the impedance of the LM1 as 8 ohms with a minimum of 3 ohms. Using a pair on a single channel will result in a 4 ohm impedance with a minimum of 1.5 ohms. The recommended minimum impedance for the SR-6004 is ... 
dsd zip download problem
After you un-zipped it, what kind of file is it? Maybe they gave you something that isn't compatible with your player.

"Any ideas?"Yes. Stop fooling with it. Its too nice a speaker.Take some pictures, email them to ML, and pester them until they tell you how to fix it right. 
Polk Audio
Paraneer,All of your points are excellent and make sense. That said, I still partially disagree. The vast majority of people have no idea what high end audio is. Given the lack of B & M stores, the most likely way an average person will come i... 
Center Channel Speaker Question
I had the LM-1's. Best speaker B & W ever made. Your problem is very common. There's a huge demand placed on a center channel. It has to keep up with the 2 main speakers and sometimes, even a sub. To get an idea of what I am talking about, lis... 
Mac question
I understand the need to go through iTunes to access the music (if he's using iTunes as his player), but you should still be able to see the files themselves in finder. That's why I think the issue may lie elsewhere. 
B&W 805 distortion question
Its easy enough to check. Unplug your speaker cables at the speakers but not at the amp. Plug them into the opposite speaker and listen to the recording again. If the problem goes to the other channel, its most likely a bad CD. If not, its probabl...
