Your worst gaffes
I blew a driver in my ProAc response 3's trying out several amps. I switched back to a Sunfire signature (no power switch) without unplugging it. What a terrible noise! I was so mad at myself I kicked a baby gate that was set up outside my room do... 
PSB Syncrony one vs. klipsch Rp-5
The PSB's would be a big step up based on my personal taste. (I'm a dealer for both) 
help with subwoofer
I had a Sunfire HT set up. I never cared for the subs either. I've used Velodyne, and PSB with it. I thought they were both much better for music. 
Arcam AVR600 as 2-Channel
Try this review. It's a bit long, but it should answer your questions.http://www.arcam.co.uk/_ugc/file/avr600wsr-web.pdf 
Is there an amp that does 2-channel and all this?
Arcam Avr 600. (I'm a dealer) I'm sure others exist. 2 channel on the Arcam is awesome. It does have room correction also. Do some reading on them. 
Replacement woofers for Energy Veritas floor spkr?
Check with Madisound. They can match up most drivers. 
What are the sonic differences betweenÂ…
Stealth Sub, cannot be heard, or seen on radar. I'd opt for the Velo. I have 3. 
what speakers would you choose for a hometheater?
Speakers do make a difference for home theater. If you want to watch concerts, like I do, a HUGE difference. That being said, I don't understand asking about only one brand. Why wouldn't you want to ask about, or listen to whats out there? If B&am... 
Diminishing Returns In A Hi-End Preamp/Processor?
I disagree. In my room, there is a huge difference in the pre/pro for home theater. It is also as big, or bigger, for 2 channel. (I use it for both in this room.) I've had the opportunity to try many. I expect great 2 channel performance, but, the... 
Belles vs Naim amplifier, which one to choose?
Never heard the Naim. I really like Belles. A 150 hot rod would be awesome. 
b&w matix 1 tweeter
Check with Madisound. 
Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced
David, I was not the least bit insulted. I think most things can be measured. Maybe not by me at home, but it can be done. That being said, if you read a review, and something tests better on paper, it doesn't mean that it will be more pleasing to... 
Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced
David12, first off, I normally don't add to these threads after my first post. They always seem to turn ugly, and I refuse to get caught up in that. To me, proof is something that can be measured. I will admit, everything doesn't fall into that ca... 
Soundproof material for a dedicated room
If the wall cavities are empty, you could have an insulation company blow them full of cellulose. I did all the walls, and ceiling of my room done when I built. It actually helps alot. 
Recent equipment you hated, thought overpriced
These threads make me laugh. Over priced tweaks are just that, over priced. You might think they make your system better, but they don't. Once again, ever hear the old saying about a fool and his money being soon parted? Yes, i've tried/listened t...
