Step 4 of my 12-Step Plan: How To Stop People From Laughing At Your Amps
Yup. That said, the wings on the L3000 flip up enough that it's actually a better stand than letting them hang. Yeah, you're right, I should keep it in its box.

Anyone heard both the AV123 Strata Mini and Horn Shoppe Horn?
I've heard nothing but good things about them. That said, I like my bass, so would probably go for the V3, which is even cheaper than the Mini (at least, MSRP is less).

New Cat
5 little furballs, sitting in a row, P-I-A-N-I-ssimo, One realizes it's hungry, starts to mewl, the next thing you know, you wish you had a gun. J/K...cute as buttons, all 5 of them. I'd go for the far right, guy, too, he seems like my type (just from the one picture, things'd probably be different if I actually met them).

Never heard of it, but I'm a huge fan of Aardman Animations, so will have to check it out. Thanks for mentioning it.

Wheatfield. Or the Wheatfield redesign that HeadRoom is supposedly coming out with in the next year or so.

Let's Talk Power
Yeah, I think that's what he meant, he was just phrasing it badly. I mean, obviously he didn't mean that "...you're not actually supposed to use the battery power...", ever, even though that's exactly what he said.

Rule of thumb for choosing speaker stands?
Somewhere around 2/14 These are not rules of thumb, these are MHO's: plate == base of speaker -- I don't like overhang, because it seems less stable, but neither do I like the plate to be bigger -- the speaker baffle should not have any additional reflecting surfaces right there. Construction == should be stable, inert, etc. (seems rather intuitive, not sure what you're looking for here). Shouldn't ring -- basically, same rules as would apply to the speaker cabinet. I like three legs (as opposed to one, two, or four, etc.). Most of the magazine writers swear by sand-fillable. I don't, but that's me.

Holy crap ASIO works.
Try using your system without them, and tell me you don't hear a difference.

No, that's right, I'm not sure what issue DC has with your statement, I wish he would be more specific.

Speakers & power amp recommendations for $1600-$2K?
I've heard some Dali's -- they would definitely be on my short list. I would also include Focal (formerly JM Lab), Aurum Cantus, Quad L series (or L2). You might be able to get Gallo Reference 3.1's or whatnot within that price range. $1400 takes up too much of your budget, methinks, but if you're alright with that, those Ikon 7's definitely look like something I wouldn't mind owning. For amps, despite their ubiquity, I would definitely recommend Musical Fidelity. A3^CR/A3cr, A3.2, A308, or A5 (I think I may be straying outside your budget with those last two). I'm not as fond of the A3.5, from what I've heard.
