Any UFC fans out there?

Love the UFC and Pride fighting. Personally, I think boxing is much more dangerous with repeated hit after hit after hit to the head. The REFs in UFC are all experienced in MMA and they know what is going on at all times. If you want to talk viole... 
How to build 2.1 HT?
Wow, that Outlaw receiver sounds nice. The price is a bit high for what I want; nonetheless, it is worth looking into. The Outlaw seems to be a new item which probably means very few are on the used market.

From what I know, it does. I use a Pioneer CDP exclusively as a transport, hooked up to a Bel Canto DAC. Modwright took the CDP and modded the heck out of it for use strictly as a transport. 
Soundproofing Doors at Home Depot
Instead of trying to change your door, why don't you try deadening your hallway. Hang some decorative burlap on the walls. Get creative. If the hallway is big enough, a few plants might help out, too. Place a few rugs on the hallway floor. As it i... 
One amp, two sub cabinets, how to setup?
Thanks a bunch for the tips... 
Cheap HT and, forgive me, Bose
You could try something like this:http://www.crutchfield.com/S-SYDAL81QXqD/cgi-bin/ProdView.asp?g=37600&I=158HTDW700The thing about the Bose setup, which I wouldn't mind getting myself, is the cost of the thing. It's cheap plastic construction...

Miles Davis--Cellar Door Sessions?
I think this box set is back in play. 
Miles Davis--Cellar Door Sessions?
I saw it back on Amazon and then back off Amazon. As far as I can tell there is a problem with the caretakers of his estate. I also heard that the product is ready to sell, but not in stores. Maybe next year. They have to do something with it.
