Best speakers under $500? Fire away!
Are the Gallo CL1’s at around $200 a good choice?

Been listening to the Q Acoustics 3020's for a day or so now.  They are warmer and more refined than the Klipsch RB-51's.  Top end is extremely accurate, mids are nice and bass is tight and precise.  I have them 7" from the wall which seems to be ...

Has anyone had experiences good or bad with speaker isolation or isolation in general ?
FWIW... this was suggested and I just ordered.  I've heard from many that it is literally one of the best, dirt cheap DIY improvements you can make.  Testing over the weekend on speakers, amp and CD player.  We will see!http://www.supplyhouse.com/...

I am testing a pair of Q Acoustics 3020's on the referral from a trusted audiophile who states they punch well above their pricepoint and sound amazing.  I love the look of the Dentons just unsure how they would meld with my NAD 3020.   
Best produced rock albums.........
I have listened to a bunch of different versions of Steely Dan's AJA and have yet to find one that blows me away.  I'm sure the MFSL sounds the best but I haven't heard it yet.  Gaucho, on the other hand, is superb.  Beck's Sea Change and Mutation... 
Best $500 System?

ELAC's are 6 ohm.87dbWharf 10.1 are 6 ohm 85dbMA Bronze 1 are 8 ohm 87dbI listen to music at "normal" listening levels.

With my current Klipsch, I am only approaching max output with the amp at very, very high listening levels.  Perhaps the ELAC's are not a good match as many are saying here.  The MA's sound like a better match.

I have not pulled the trigger yet on anything.  My plan was to start with the ELAC's and then also bring in the 10.1's and MA Bronze 1's and compare all with my current Klipsch RB-61's.  I agree with people here about listening to as many as possi...

Going with the ELAC Debut B6's to start.  Thank you all for your terrific input.   
I have now listened to my restored, recapped and serviced NAD 3020 and..........
Hi all...Here is the eBay page for the seller I purchased my amp from.  Hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this here.http://www.ebay.com/sch/cmar1584/m.html?item=172551531434&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&rt=n...
