B&W HTM - 1 OR a pair of 805N's?
I got news for you...the vast majority standard passive home monitors can handle full range DD/DTS soundtracks properly without distorting, bottoming out, mushing out, etc! You should be crossing that speaker, over at least 80 hz, or 50-65hz if yo... 
Preamps with HT pass through
Yep, that's about right(refering to what the other guy listed) My LS16 AR preamp and Sonic Line 1 had this. However you can still put the left and right main out's of your pre/pro into an auxilary input on just about any pre amp on the market, and...

Power cords for BAT-VK60 mono amps
Acoustic Zen Krakatoa at around that price is unbeatable! I have the Krakatoa and Tsunami's, and they're great compared to others I've sold.Jason 
Speakers for odd room. Please help
Speakers are going to have the GREATEST impact(plus seating possition in that small room) on the over all sound, and youshould definitely consider upgrading them! Upgrading equip with those speakers in that room won't get you that much improvement... 
Small Room, Move Often, Speaker Suggestions.
Overall, if you know your likely to be in smallish rooms in general, that are pretty rectangular and/or sealed off acoustically from the likes of hallway's, oppenings, other room connnections, etc, you should probably consider a sealed box speaker... 
center channel and surround speakers/
Audio Quest Dragon on Neucleus speakers?..say it ain't so.however, you need Neucleus matching speaker for center for sure, and preferable all around...otherwise it will sound poor for certain. You need a tonal match all across the front, at least,... 
Do i get the old or new Classe amps?
The newer amps are perhaps a tad more top end extended throughout the new line. The CA151 might be the same as the older CA150 though. I liked the CA150 more than any of the other classe amps(never tried the CA400 though). I owned the CA100/150/30... 
Any cheap silver cables for Talon Khorus?
Be forewared...cheep silver is almost alway's zippy and bright! The newer more expensive 7/9's silver offerings are a tad pricy, but much much much better! Actually, Acoustic Zen makes some Matrix Reference (Silver/Copper hybrid) at $500 retail fo... 
Need help solving hum problem
Well from experience in hooking up litterally hundreds of sytems over years, I can get rid of pretty much any hum from tinkering a bit I suppose. Usually you should first try using a cheeter plug on one of your 3 prong plugs, either on the preamp ... 
Rowland 112 amp. vs. Pass X150
While I haven't heard the Rowland 112 amp, I've hear good things about them. I have used the Pass X150 in a few systems now, and can say that it definitely will be a fine match with the Proac 2.5's with good gear all around! That X150 is as good a... 
Against everything that high end cables stand for
Actually, for the record, from my experiences with some of the newer 6/9's copper(or better???...) wire that now seems to be more the norm in calbes that are coming out now, you don't really need to terminate these cables like you used to!!! It ap... 
Solid State amp with wide soundstage
$1000 used, ey? Hummmm....first, may I suggest that you'll never get "that slamm" outta those dinky speakers on their own! They're small in size and low sensitivity, and the laws of pysics take over. You can however get a good solid state amp to h...
