Dog Proof Speaker Stands For Harbeth SHL5Plus Speakers
Regardless of what you do for stands, IMHO, the dog training is absolutely necessary. If you have never seen the CBS show "Lucky Dog" with Brandon McMillan, it would be well worth watching. It's amazing how he takes an out of control shelter dog a... 
Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used?
That Threshold "e" series was the last Nelson Pass design at Threshold. Also, the recent work on the amp was done by Jon Soderberg. He worked for Nelson Pass at Threshold, so there is no better Threshold tech anywhere. 
Should All Power Cables be Alike?
IMHO, the first power cable that should be upgraded is the one from the breaker box to the outlet at the system and upgrade the outlet as well. 
Best Class A Amp under $2,000 used?
For 250 watts of pure class A, a pair of Threshold SA/12e’s would definitely work, however if you find a pair, they would be well above $2000. Here’s a nice Threshold within your budget,http://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649302974-threshold-s350-p... 
Which is Better? Musical Fidelty A5 (used) or new Rogue Sphinx?
I also have used an A5, and not going to disagree with what sfall heard in his system, however in my system it was not overly forward or aggressive. IMHO, I think the A5 would be a better choice than the Sphinx. The Sphinx is rated for 200 watts i...

THX Certified Power amps
Just look at the back of the amp under the speaker connections. It states 6-16 ohms. Using a 4 ohm speaker will be very risky. Depending on it's impedance curve, it may work, but I'm thinking there will be a much greater chance that it will not an... 
Center Channel
ricred1,The issue is not comparing one center speaker to another, it's as you say,"the center should match the fronts."With stereo only the image is created by 2 identical speakers. A different L&R would not create much of an image. Now with a...

New Two Zone System - I'm out of my League
Matt, there are some other ways to accomplish what you want to do with using an AV Receiver or HT Processor. Can you list all of the source components and do all need to play in both locations. If not, how will they be used? 
What PrimaLuna tube amp / integrated or not will work best with B&W 804 standard speakers
After spending over 25 years working in the audio industry and having experience with many models of B&W, including the 804S, I am in agreement with the comments about power in this review.http://www.whathifi.com/bw/804s/reviewAs unsound said,... 
What PrimaLuna tube amp / integrated or not will work best with B&W 804 standard speakers
Can you be more specific about the model number of your speakers? Assuming they are not the Diamond or "D" series, then prior to those was 804S, then N804, and Matrix 804. 
Importance of quality of coax cable feeding a DIP
Here's another interesting read about connectors for 75 ohm cable.http://www.bluejeanscable.com/articles/75ohmrca.htmIMHO, the difference you heard between the two cables was greatly affected by the connectors and the length of the cable. A digita... 
Best way to connect multiple amps to one DAC using RCA's?
