Top Ten Speakers of All Time?
Have I mentioned it before? Gotta be the Dunlavy V. (Mr Dunlavy once admitted to me, on the phone, that V is more accurate than anything he has done, including the VI's. ) 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Aphex twins latest ' druqks' has some of the most beautiful music in electronic music ( and some worst) but the achingly beautiful material makes it worth while. A lot more than worth while. 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
I just exchanged my Yamaha micro system ( see post above) for the Denon 'reference' personal system D-F100. (uses Mission 771 series bookshelf speakers) Of course I had to pay little more for the upgrade. I know this time I got it right. I don't k... 
Any audio gifts for Christmas?
A Yamaha Micro piano craft system MCR-E150 With matching 100 Watt subwoofer. I am amazed at how good the system sounds. Very small and elegant look to boot. High endish sounding without the high end price. Of course this is for bedroom where space... 
Suggestions for mini-system -- 300-400
Brian, In case you are still looking, Buy a YAMAHA Piano craft micro system (CRX-E150 cd/tuner/amp unit with NX-E150 piano finish speakers) and be happy ever after again. Add YAMAHA amplified subwoofer to add low punch, just keep low freq cut-off ...

Your System vs. Live Music, or how close to live..
My Classe CA-400 and Dunlavy V based two channel system, I would say come to 75 sitting in the sweet spot, but Extend that to stereo surround sound mode on Classe SSP-50, CA-400 and Dunlavy II in concert with two channel sitting in NEXT room or ba... 
Hall of Shame
would not welcome these: Dunlavy speakers, Classe electronics. In my book, They are IN Hall of fame. 
Krell HTS, Classe SSP-50, or Lexicon MC-1
I would recommend SSP-50. I have it and use it with Classe amps amd pre-amps. Synergy is added bonus. Highly reliable. Great to look at, particularly with similar Classe components. I have not heard the other two! 
Help, Strange Static Sound Recurring
Hyoster, I have a same problem withn my low-fi Yamaha based surround system. The Amp/pre amp is now 11 years old and white noise problem started 2 years ago with my front surrounds ( this is 7.1 channel system. I did not need those so I used only ... 
what speakers do the best "disappearing act"??
My Dunlavy V's. I swear! They are big but they are the last place the sound seem to originate from unless the instrument, when recorded/mastered was at that 'location' 
Mono amps...
I have experienced what " Asterix" comment in a nutshell. My two Classe CA-400 bridged exactly did just that, confirmed later in so many words by Classe.(more power -experienced by improved control, effortlessness, deeper sound stage. Overall soun... 
I don't remember much, but I remember......
My first cassette was the Kraftswerk's ' The Man Machine" , which I was listening over and over again and again. Till this day I am not tired of them. Disco came and went ( although some I still like). Of course, Now I have the CD and play it on 5...
