Very doubtful you could build something that would "put it to shame". I've heard countless home builts and while they are usually very good...they all miss critical elements such as the transient snap. Keep in mind...this thing is not only capable... 
best amp for PMC MB1 speakers?
14BSST or a biamp setup with 7BSST's on the bottom and a 4bST on the top. You cannot go wrong with Bryston/PMC as a combo as that is what they are specifically designed to be used with. Kevin The Sound BrokerDisclaimer...I sell both! 
Best 2-CH AMP at $2500
Bryston 4BSST. 20 year no questions asked warranty. Bulletproof. Plenty of power to drive most anything (300 w/ch). Used in more studios to actually produce and master the music and movies we all listen to than any other amp on the planet. World c... 
Sacd / Dvda universal players
Don't Forget to add the new Theta Compli. $4500. If you have a Theta Pro Gen VIII or Casablanca III/Xtreme DAC you'll be able to interface the DVDA and SACD output digitally...unreal!KevinThe Sound Broker 
Home recording studio questions
Monitor wise...definitely look at PMC. Most of the really serious studios use them and there is a definite advantage to having the same voice as what the big boys use. 
B&W N800 vs Wilson WP7 vs Revel and others
Put the PMC MB-2/XBD system and the Legacy Focus 20/20 on your list. Both are pretty serious. The PMC is the most dynamic of anything your've listed and is what you'll find in many of the studios where the music you love is actually produced. PMC ... 
Speakers that accurately reproduce a drumset
PMC, particularly the bigger ones like the MB-2 and BB-5. Transmission line. Most serious studios use 'em. Gargantuan dynamics and speed. Not even many of the big horns can do what a pair of BB-5's are capable of. They are compared with live music... 
sub woofer dilemma, help
James. EMB-1000 or EMB-1200 (new). 
Revel F30 with Bryston 4B-ST and tube pre-amp
ARGH! Too bad you didn't get a chance to hear the new PMC OB-1's cause they are everything you are looking for. It is too late to take the Revels back? The OB-1's have significantly more grunt than FB-1's, have much better midrange definition sinc... 
Revel Studios for half price?
PMC OB-1's. I had somebody actually do that comparison. Yes, they are that good. KevinThe Sound Broker 
subwooferability ???
A TRUE reference LFE channel is hard to find. The best is the PMC XB-3. This is the sub most truly serious mastering and recording facilities use. Most of the recent large scale movies are recorded and mastered with the big PMC systems and the XB-... 
Monitor speakers for a change
PMC. If you like ATC...you're gonna LOVE PMC!Very different flavor from Sonus Faber. We had a guy who owned SF's do the exact same thing as you...ended up with a pair of OB-1's and LOVES them. KevinThe Sound Broker 
Best Speaker for audiophile-grade small room rig
PMC LB-1 Signatures or a pair of PMC DB-1's with a James EMB=1000 Sub. Both are optimized for a smaller environment. Both will knock your socks off. The LB-1's are used to monitor in many DVD and CD mastering labs. KevinThe Sound Broker 
Why are Infinities the Rodney Dangerfields of spe
Infinity seriously lost their way for a number of years and became mass market, Circuit City junk. They have made great inroads with their newest product, but they are still fighting the perceptions. We have an Intermezzo system (4.1's, 3.5, 2.6's... 
25 customs/tax fee to ship audio to Canada ??
Be very careful when you ship to any other country with a lower declared value! If there should be damage, it is the perfect excuse for the shipping company to pay you only the value of what has been declared. Plus, Customs will sometimes check th...
