Can Harbeths Perform Well In Nearfield Listening?
Well, Ryder actually owns and lives with the SHL5 so I'd take his word for it. Really, if it were me and I needed to have a Harbeth in that space, I'd go with the PS3R and would not worry about a sub. And I'd probably also look into speakers inten... 
Can Harbeths Perform Well In Nearfield Listening?
Jeff Day, the reviewer, keeps his SHL5's in a 11′ L x 12′ W x 9′ H room:http://jeffsplace.me/wordpress/?page_id=521I'd imagine your friend's problems are compounded by the fact that his room is actually smaller AND perfectly square, but the issues... 
Rega Brio R vs Wyred or Bel Canto
Calsclbgs...that strikes me as very wise advice. BTW, I ended up getting the Rogue and keeping the Vandersteens. They go very well together and I'm glad to know I can continue to enjoy the Rogue once I get the Compact 7s. 
Good tube preamp with Sony 5400
i've heard this tale before... 
DAC with volume control under $250
Well, I ended up ordering one to use in my office system. The preamp capability/balanced output/price made it a no-brainer. My girlfriend and I share the office and we'll be using it with Hibachi monoblocks and Ohm speakers. And the multiple input... 
EKCO EV55SE & Vandersteens
Finally heard the Cronus Magnum with the Vandersteen 2's and bought the Rogue. They go very well together, Adam. :)

Floorstanders for small room 10x10ft
Question re: the Preludes. I had the Minuets and agree that Silverline makes excellent products. Just curious about placement in a square room for them or any of the other slim floorstanders. Would they sound best at an angle, centered off a corne... 
Which sub 200 usd DAC if using an integrated amp?
The D1 controls volume level of sound via analog outputs as well as the headphone output. I just got one last week to use on my desktop with A2 speakers. It sounds great and works flawlessly. I've also used the HRT for this, and it's also great. I...

Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
"I'll make this simple...the Denon DCD A100 is one of the finest SACD/CD players I have ever owned."Thanks for making this simple, Davey. :) 
Modwright sony xa5400 vs Modwright Oppo 95
I don't mean to come across as rude, but I don't really see the relevance of Dave_b's comment in the context of this thread. From what I've seen Dave_b has evinced great enthusiasm for any player he has just purchased, including the stock Sony, th... 
Mac Mini vs Squeezebox Touch
Having owned the VALAB, and currently owning the EE Plus DAC, I would think that the VALAB would be a step down from the EE Minimax. I still have the VALAB and love it, but I don't think that it would give you enough midrange liquidity to make up ...

Thanks, Mapman. Now we just need to get everyone else on the thread signed off on the 840C. :)
