high-efficiency loudspeakers
I have a pair of Shindo 604 Field Coils at 16ohms/101+sensitivity. They are pretty special and I don't see moving away from them. I also don't see moving them period as they're the size of a washer/dryer set. 
What area or country do you live in ?

Favorite band or artist of all time?
My Favorite - Led Zeppelin hands down. 
Japanese top tube amps and preamps. Wavac, Kondo, Komuro etc.
Add Leben, Luxman, Mactone and Accuphase too. 
best interconnect at decent price
Couple of thoughts:If you're happy with the AntiCables for your speakers why not try their IC's too?I 2nd the Kimber Hero's. I have them throughout my HT setup and I'm quite pleased. Try out a couple through CableCo, you can always return/exchange. 
Drink of choice for serious listening?
I'm gonna go out on a limb and say I'm probably the only Master Sommelier on here. As such I normally have something in my hand but not always wine. Gin in the summer, Bourbon in the winter and Tequila always. but if wcfeil is pouring '90 Angleus ... 
Whats the FATTEST sounding Tube amp to warm up Lean speakers?
Agreed on the NOS Mullard EL34's. They are what I have in my Shindo Montrachet and I couldn't be happier.

Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)?
I've seen some very good answers that I won't repeat, however...James Brown and either the Fabulous Flames or JB's were arguably the nastiest tightest band ever. Bruce Springsteen and E St Band have the staying power...Van Halen (not that Van-Haga... 
Any Famous people on Audiogon ?
I'm famous to 10's of ppl, and infamous to 100's 
Your last concert was to see who and when?
Van Morrison - Last week. It was fun but strange as hell. Van came out spoke no words between songs, grinded out 15 songs back-to-back-to-back. Walked off stage halfway through the last song (G-L-O-R-I-A), lights went up and that was that. He stil... 
Popular DAC that is known for its warm-ish sound?
Luxman 
Audio for the Young - Noho Sound
I fully support the movement of getting the next generation into hifi, after all they're the one's driving the return to vinyl. I remember 30 yrs ago when I tagged along with my dad to the local Hifi shop in South Portland, Maine. I was 12 and in ... 
Can anyone suggest a decent subwoofer cable that is about 35 feet long.
I've been quite happy with my Kimber Kable Cadence, which is subwoofer specific (whatever that means). If your system is truly balanced go xlr and I wouldn't sweat the brand.
