    Eric, for your prereq's, you forgot to add:

    I appreciate the generous nominations, and the WAF is a reality to consider! (of course, I could always setup shop at the local park -- lots of space, no boundary effects to worry about, and plenty of reputable looking guys sitting over by the playground that I'm sure will be glad to "help" me move and set stuff up!)

    Considering that this is primarily a consumer review site, I'm not sure about how much value editorial reviews of equipment will add to this site, especially since so many other websites already do editorial equipment reviews. But, I can definitely see a lot of potential for some good content regarding setup, tweaking, optimizing, and listening. (Basically, yet another soapbox for my persistent mantra about optimizing what people already own before pursuing fresh hardware upgrades )

    To that end, I think there are plenty of contributors to this site who have the demonstrated experience, knowledge, and balanced viewpoint to provide that kind of content. Terrence, Geoffcin, and kexodusc are the obvious choices in my view, and I would add other experienced guys like topspeed, Pat D, markw, and Lensman, among many others, into the mix as well.

    Eric - I'll PM you with some ideas on how I think this site might be able to create equipment reviews with something different from the usual "I listened to this component, and this is what I think" reviews that typify other audio review sites.

    Thanks for the vote of confidence, Wooch. However, I am not that deeply into Home Theatre, being primarily a music man. I'll second the others you have suggested though.
