Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Zaikesman, I hope I can count on you to share what ever you learn. Good luck. 
I Need to Mount Amps ON WALL+++
Mythtrip, keep in mind that little ones may pull on power cords and heavy amps can follow from shelves. 
I Need to Mount Amps ON WALL+++
Mythtrip, I use a tall cabinet with solid sides and doors that lock, I've removed the back panel to help with heat disipation and keep the unit very slightly away from the back wall, other than a line conditioner only the amp resides there. High a... 
To balance or unbalance that is the question
If you use balanced where possible you might reduce the chance of picking up some unwanted grundge, at least there. 
Any thoughts on a Audiogon covention?
I'd like to join you, but I doub't I could make it. Perhaps regional get togethers might be more practical? 
Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies?
Sean, I'm sure your aware of the downloaded woofers on Dunlavy's Athenas, Catenas, SC IIIA. John Dunlavy told me as a string bass player he liked the results of this approach, but he somewhat avoided the issue when I asked him if it was as accurat... 
HDCD CD's
Hervel, actually they are pretty popular, I belive that there are about 6000 titles with HDCD. Some of them don't have the logo. 
Mosfets: The way to go for SS amplification?
IMHO, it's not necessarily the parts, but the sum of the parts that matters. 
Here's how a CD copy of a copy can sound better
lchapper, I beg to differ. 
Small room big amp, need speakers
I don't have personal experience with them ,but, maybe Gradients? IMHO, if I understand your post, (10' X 10' room?) you may need something like a TacT before you consider speakers. 
Impedance Help
Hervel, so far your OK, how about the ouput impedance of the CD player. Does it vary with volume setting and if so what's the range? What kind and how long is the interconnect? 
Output Impedance Preamp-Input Impedance Amp
MFB33 and Viridian, I owe you an appology. I realize that in my usuall confused state of mind tht I was thinking of another thread that was considering a system sans preamp (passive) which would have been much more demanding. You should be fine. 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Maxgain, yes there was a 5 (and 5i), it didn't use an equalizer but instead more drivers in a much bigger box as Sean suggested. The 5 was considerably more expensive. My favorite Thiels all seem to be sealed boxes. 
Nondirectional & Inaudible Bass: What Frequencies?
Sean, some of Dunlavy's more recent works seem to support your point. 
Ever Have One Of Those Evenings?
Sean, I agree with you re: sealed boxes sans equalization and extra size, how ever digital equalization may offer us a chance to "tune to the room" and do it with out the compromises that used to come the old fashioned analog way, what new comprom...
