Avalon Pricing Policy?
Did you give hime a reasonable offer or just asked him how much he can discount them? I work in sales too so I know offer to buy (a commitment)goes a long way...maybe they didn't realize how serious you were and thought you're just messing around.

It's funny that some threads don't get any answers and other go on and on...sorry I can't contribute 
Quietest Refrigator ?
I found out that the quietest refrigerator is that one that's not in the room. I bought a new one recently after starting a crazy thread on the subject, only to realize that you regular $600 fridge is just as noisy now and they used to be 20 years... 
Simaudio Supernova vs Oracle CD 1500 MK II
I think it's a great cd player but it depende what you're looking for in a cd player. My system lacked speed, clarity and dynamics. After acquiring Supernova, I eliminated these shortcomings...it's all about synergy. I don't think it sugarcoats po... 
Simaudio Supernova vs Oracle CD 1500 MK II

I own Hyperion 968 and I believe it's very smooth sounding speaker. Not to the point of boring like some British speakers, though... 
Monitors to replace Dynaudio Confidence C1's

"Get Better Sound"
Better be useful for $150 on Amazon :-) 
Anybody using a Marantz PM-11s1
I have PM 11S2, beautiful peace of equipment, very flexible with 2 pair of speaker outputs, bass/treble control, great remote that controls my cd player too. The sound is a bit on a mellow side, great match for a lot of speakers out there. 
Meeting point at RMAF for Audiogoners
I donĀ§t see why I shouldnt show up... 
How many sets of speaker cable?
You're right, you can select between 2 speaker system. In my case, switching between "speaker A" and "speaker B" just means listening to tweeter/midrange or bass woofer.
