Thanks tomic601,I will try to contact you, maybe a few months? Would look forward to hearing one of your systems. Love Vandersteen. My 2Wq sub just took my Treo Ct's to a whole new level. Hope I didn't sound too forward about coming to your place ... 
Vandersteen 3A Sigs vs Klipsch Forte III
Hey tomic601,How's the Treo CT set-up doing? Did you add sub(s) to them? Really envy you. I have a daughter in San Diego. Would love to hear your system(s). HInt, hint :-)

Subwoofer Decision
I too, have not heard the Rythmiks, but from the standpoint of the laws of physics, it would seem to me that a sub with three eight inch drivers would be a lot quicker than a single 15 inch or even a 12 inch driver. I thought I had read somewhere ... 
Classic Over-reaction!
Years ago, I had a B&K power amp that did the same thing when the TV was on in another room. The fix was to make sure the TV was off while I was listening to my system. To my wife's angst.... 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
Stereo5. That's interesting. I guess it really depends on the other equipment it's connected to, and to who's ears are listening! We agree to disagree.....No??? 
Primaluna Dialogue poremium, Rogue Cronus Magnum II or Jolida 801...who can advise me?
Stereo5It's interesting you mentioned "went back to McIntosh solid state which is almost as good as tubes but not quite."I had a Mac SS C-45 pre and   MC-402 SS power. I bought a Rogue Pharaoh hybrid integrated amp in an effort to downsize for a l...
