How many NICE looking high end floor standing speaker are there at present
Daedalus and Omega Audio have attractive cabinetry 
Covering a TV behind your speakers?
Any flat surface no matter what it's composition will reflect sound.Experimenting with a few Rockwool panels from Home Depot is an inexpensive way to figure out what you need and where.Then decide to diy or go with professionally made treatments. 
Possible Silver IC's to accompany my Skogrand Marrkarian 421 sp cables?
Check out ZenWave cables too.Dave will send you demos at no charge to try. 
Aric Audio Super 2A3 SET
Congrats tby!I'm a very happy Aric Audio customer also.Enjoy! 
CD Transports
My CXC has worked flawlessly for the last year,no complaints.The remote is not great though.It's meant to run other components in their line also so the transport buttons are clustered at the bottom of the looong remote.

Do you mean when you switch the interconnect cables the pop switches sides?If so it's a loose connection in the cable. 
room size
Putting up a wall definitely will make for terrible acoustics.So many reflections bouncing back and forth.If you are determined,go ahead and prop up some plywood or even drywall across the opening and listen to your music.Then decide before you do...

Analysis Plus Silver Apex Speaker cable

Most amusing album or song titles
You guys took all of the great Zappa titles:)How about Roland the Headless Thompson GunnerWarren Zevon 
Can this swarm fly?
I have four regular subs and I turned them all to face the wall just to experiment.Surprisingly I think it sounds better that way.I've tried them in various configurations with just one or two facing in also.Maybe it's the shape of my particular r... 
Does anyone collect something else other than music.
It's not much of a collection but I have a few old wood cabinet radios.One is a floor model Philco with a turntable that pulls out from the front.My favorite is a Telefunken Allegro AmFm with a phono stage. 
Most valuable LP
First pressing Woodstock album is my most precious.I have no idea if it's worth very much.
