Opinions on replacement for B&K ref20
Sorry, it sounds nice but Im leaning towards a more modern pre/pro Like the Rotel 1068/1098 or the Sunfire TGIII or IV.

What about Fosgate FAP T1+ $1195 ? 
Opinions on replacement for B&K ref20
I dont have any way to demo in my area. It seems Im the only one dumb enough to spend this much money on home theater around here. I cant decide if I really liked the B&K to begin with. It did everything I wanted but Im not sure it stood out a...

Help on Polk Audio SDA2
There are a couple of people on the Polkaudio forum (http://clubpolk.polkaudio.com/forum/) that build their own cables you may want to check over there. Polk still sells them I think. 
Can you ever have too much power?
My Cinepro 3K6II is too much power. I now have so much volume, so fast that my subs can barely be heard. Balance in your system is what you will lose. Along with power comes noise unless you have the big bucks. I will be returning to the 200wpc cr... 
Help amp hum is driving me crazy
Well I tried turning off every breaker but the one for my amp and it didn't change anything. The satellite was causing a minute amount but I had already cleared that up. It looks as though Cinepro is not the amp for me, too bad I really like it be... 
Help amp hum is driving me crazy
The hum is present through all five speakers evenly. I have tried a cheater plug in every configuration possible. The external ground although not very safe does not change anything. The ground to the house is good and so is the run to the recepta... 
What about Polk speakers?
I am also a huge Polk fan. I have the SRT system. Polk in recent years has spread themselves thin trying to please all the different markets and quality has suffered. If you can afford the RT3000 you may as well look for a used SRT sytem for the s...

Rotel 1066 and B&K ref.30 anf Anthem
both good choices I also am reserved about the Anthem. Have you thought about the Classe SSP30? 
Wiring a dedicated line
Just as a reference. The Black wire goes to the gold screw, White wire to the silver screw, and Green to the green screw. You would be quite surprised how many do not know this. I have had to correct many unsafe (incorrectly wired) receptacles. If... 
I need help choosing a power conditioner.
After my house being hit by lightning, through my satelite, I would recomend some type of protection no matter what it cost. My damage was over 10k in electronics (stereo & computer) luckily no fire. I use Panamax products currently but I have... 
Dual layer DVD V.S. the player
I really want to stay with a multi-disc player since it is both for CD and DVD playback in my system. I don't need to have progressive outputs right now but I am considering a front projector in the near future. My Toshiba is a "refurbished" unit ... 
Please Help: High-End car audio
I agree that the Soundstream is part of your problem. To put it simply "they ain't what they used to be". I moved away from them to Orion and have never looked back. The one that I am most surprised by is a fairly new company, Xtant. They are very...
