What's Going On?? Sound changes every night
What's your location status? Urban / Sub - live at the end of a cul-de-sac. Happen all year or only parts of? Any particular time of night? 
The majic of early 1970's rock and it's influence-
While the Led Zep box set is excellent, get the DVD and see them in action too (Jimmy, where did that sweater come from?). Ya OK, some of the stuff seems a bit juvenile now, but a lot of it doesn't - I'd still give up a piece something of signific... 
i need a power conditioner. monster?
I have a Monster 700, or 7000 or whatever. Seems to work fine, but it rarely says 120 volt on the display which in itself is annoying, but even more annoying in that it's plugged into an AVS 2000 thing that supposed to be a voltage correcter.I sen... 
Looking to compare SACD sound with redbook
In was a SACD - DVD-A early adopter (dummy), and have about 40-50 of them.I'm getting tired of buying the same thing once again, in another format, and suspect we'll have something yet again when the blue ray DVD format hits the market.While my DS... 
solidstate with ML electrostats
Cables seem a fairly strong place to make the changes - what's the 5.1 source anyway - that could have a significant effect as the Shandling is a complete different source. What happens when you use the 5.1 source for 2 channel? Same thing?I have ... 
Newbie Question
If it sounds "pretty good right now" enjoy it while it lasts for you. As far as bang-for-buck, bi-amping old ADS's is really overkill, and new speakers would be my first choice.It sounds like 5.1 is what you're looking at, so first matching of tim... 
Should I use analog or digital ?
Try both and see which one sounds better to you. You should be able to A-B the results depending on what inputs you use on the pre. It depends on which of your DAC's - CD or Pre is better. 
How important are transports?
Lots of stuff on this in the forums, including very recently. 
Storm III or Stadium III for Martin Logan SL3's?
I had the Stadium. Sold it and bought the Revel B15 - maybe the built-in EQ works especially well in my room, but it was a very significant improvement. 
PA Horns for Outdoors
Go to Guitar Center, or any other pro audio outlet and see (hear) what you like. 
Spectacular Drum Set?

dvi cables and price vs performance
I use a 5 meter Tributaries Cable that cost me $125. The only other type my shop carries is Transparent, and you don't want to know the price of their 5m.In any case it works great, and I have faith in my shop that if it wasn't good they wouldn't ... 
Various approach to bass trapping
Send your room dimensions and layout to Auralex.com (and check out their site). Just don't tell them you're an audiophool or the prices will go up by 10x. I have 2-3 LERND's in each corner. Work like a charm. 
What mixes with Transparent Ultra Xl Speaker Cable
Transparent will reterminate to bi-wire. I had this done to my supers a couple of years ago - $225 if I remember right, and it took about a week.I also have ML's - SL3's front, Aerius i's rear. Would use as a single cable with jumpers until you bi... 
subs for music
Regarding your question - Your choice - You can 1) run to both amp and sub but you risk have overlap between the two, or 2) alternately, run to the sub, use the sub's internal crossover, then come back out to the main amp - the Revel is set up to ...
