How to bi-wire a nad amp help needed please
I've never had the 'NADs to biwire......... 
Integrated to replace krell 300i
I had the Krell 300i for a short time. The excellent bass response was the only thing I found positive about it. I thought it had a hard clinical sound bordering on brittle at times. All sound-no music. I replaced it with an Anthem Amp 2 integrate... 
Is ebay feedback worth anything on Audiogon?
I actually have been burned twice on audiogon and only once on eBay. I would agree though the quality of people and goods here is far superior to the internet yard sale of ebay. You can get a deal now and then on ebay but I feel the risk is greate... 
Where can I start to improve my sound the most 2ch
Amp would be next after the CDP. Think tubes.......... 
I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics...
Newbee- you make a valid point as I was comparing monitors to full range. I was speaking more to the overall "sound" though I did use a sub (ACI Titan II) to fill out the full range on the Taylos. To clarify my point in the overall sound compariso... 
I'm looking for thoughts on the Tyler Acoustics...
I second Boa2 on the Silverlines. Just acquired a pair of used Sonatas after using Tyler Taylo ref monitors for a while. I find the Silverlines more coherent than the Tylers-at least in my system though the difference is small in that regard. I gu... 
Where can I start to improve my sound the most 2ch
The CD player in your system is where I would start. It does not seem on par with your other components. I started with a Cambridge Audio 300SE and thought it was great. Then I tried a California Audio Labs CL-15 and the 300SE seemed grainy, lacki... 
I need help selecting a tube amp
Decware makes a nice product at a great price point for low power tubes. This makes them a good starting point.

Why Lots of Current Music Sounds Miserable...
The current popular crap (notice that word is really "rap" with a c added), hard metal bands, and your adolescent divas to name a few are engineered to be played on a 3" car speaker or through mp3 player earbuds or through the club PA system- none... 
Which companies also offer good service??
Slowest in the East - Meridian. Five weeks to get a service on a CD player. 
Should I chrome my tuner?
Settle for polishing your knob. Much cheaper....... 
What's the "worst" cdp for the money?
Audiomeca Obsession I - for the price closed in, wooden, dead- completely mediocre. 
Matchups for Mordaunt-Short speakers?
If you can audition Creek or Arcam integrated amps you may find a good match. I found the Arcam a bit edgy for my taste but may mate well with your MS speakers. I have not auditioned Creek amps but consistently hear good things about them at their...
