Audio Physic Virgo is a good candidate in this price range and your criteria... 
New ACME outlet sounds worse

Battle of the BAT's, VK-60 vs. VK-220
I've owned a vk 200 and a vk 60. At the time, I was using a vk 50se pre and Audio Physic Virgo speakers. Tireguy is pretty much right on. The vk60 will give you a midrange to die for. In terms of transparency, depth, image, tonality, etc.... The b...

Please rate WATT/Puppy 7
I have wp6's and love them. I've heard the 7's, they are a little better. Anyone who doesn't like them, most likely didn't hear them set up right, with bad/not matching electronics, etc...They are very revealing...and will tell you about a mismatc...

Wild child butler is pretty good. Availble via acousticsounds.com 
Virgo II's without AP's placement recommendations?
They'll be fine. I used to own a pair. They'll be better balanced properly placed...but so will any speaker. My guess it'll shorten the depth some and maybe make the bass a little stronger...

Speakers Corner QC?
Music Direct will take them back within 30 days if truly defective. I've had them take 2 lp's back over the last 6 months. I'm guessing at their own expense...pretty good customer service. 
Speakers Corner QC?
I've bought about 20 or so speaker corners and about the same for classic. Never had a issue with the speaker corners...about 2 of my classics have been a little noisey. Most a pretty perfect...Sounds like bad luck on your part ! Sorry ! 
Best projector in the 6000.00 range
1st check out videogon.com Also, if you've never had a projector before, try a sony vplhw10 or vplhw11. These are around 2500-3500 used. They do hi def incredibly well. You might like em enough not to spend more money. I have had my 10 for 3 years... 
ASC Sound Panels
I'll agree with the posts above. I have 4 along with tube traps in the front 2 corners. The wall panels really help with slap echo in a few spots in my room. Big improvement in detail for me... 
Best all around box speaker between 15K and 25K
If you are talking used/demo prices...add the Wilson MAXX. 
Reference Monitor Recommendations Help-Please
What about the Audio Physic Virgo? version 2 can easily be found under 2500. Then try Transparent or Cardas speaker cables...Great imaging, great warm rich sound...about 6-8 inches wide...2 feet deep...small footprint. 
best sounding DVD transport?
I think she owns the "DD" version...must be a like a "limited edition"
