Building Rack - Need Suggestions for Maple & Brass
You'll have to do some homework in your own area as for as Exotic Hardwoods. You'll have to snoop out local woodworkers supply type stores, to find out where woodworkers score their stock. In my area over the years I have been lucky to locate 2 so... 
Booming bass from my B&W Nautilus
Yes the Sound Anchor stands are a wonderful addition, yet you have to correct the BOOM by placement w/ the Factory Spikes First! Sound Anchors are not, an instant Band Aid cure, until after you've found your speakers sweet spot. 
Boston Accoustic VR975, Need some input please.
Having owned & auditioned may BA speakers over the years. When my cousin was searching to audition different speakers for which would be great for HT, Boston was mentioned for his short list. My cousin is a major Videophile 85% Video / 15% Aud...

Check the settings on the 380s. Are you using the Factory Supplied Spikes, to isolate them from the floor? Even 2 to 2 1/2 feet should be enough room from any wall for your N803's. Other than those 3 things, I'm at a loss?

Before you get to the point of placing everything but the kitchen sink, french (Oops a.k.a Trader) fries, etc. in your heat sinks. 1.) Call Classe, see what they have to say? 2.) Your room needs more work, forget "Foam", & don't go crazy spend... 
Upgrade path from a B&W N805.
Save up another 100-500 bucks & wait for a nice N803 pair to hit Audiogon. The last few pairs in the 9/10, & 10/10 condition sold for $3100 - 3500 w/ sound anchor stands. The N803's are in an entire different league than the N805/804's. IM...

Lazarus28 is right Pioneer Elite Rear Proj. are the best, period! If you don't have a budget of 3000 clams & can't fit a 50" floor model Pioneer? I would look at Mitsubishi 46" table top it IMO has a better picture than any Toshiba & Sony ...
