Check-out the CDs from ' Sixteen Horsepwer-Low estate and Sackcloth'n'ashes. Actually this falls under Gothic C/W , but music is very good and great recording too. 
Wanted...Recommendations on Mapleshade
I have almost all of the recordings. Because the sound quality is consistently the best in the business. All the performance, however are not. But there are plenty of great ones. Clifford jordans all 3 are great. Some of the jazz ones are: A minut... 
A Tombstone in the Living room????
Great! But I got ripped-off by my neighbour hoof granite-man. I paid $400 for 4 -21*17*1.25 nice gray-black, corner rounded/smoothed. But I still saved about that much compared to the shelf and stuff 
Freak Me Out
I agree with one of the post above. Krono's Black Angels is genius music that could make you fall out of your chair at times, at the same time retaining very well recorded musicality. 
Levinson in Lexus

Wha'choo lookin' at?
The Pacific Ocean is the best one yet. I stare at my reflection and the room in the big screen TV (off). Actually this set-up is really good, because I can imagine musicians in the room and also enhances sense of being in the hall via visual clue ... 
Soundstage - Too much?
Inspite of knowing that there is no such thing as soundstage depth (but certainly left to right imaging spread) that real live music (for small group, jazz or quartet ), the effect certainly is desirable.It just seem that we are getting our money'... 
Snake oil and tweaks that work!
Okay, Furniture location works for me too. I hate to change it even though some furniture is arranged in most un-orthodox fashion in the family room. $1.20 tweak on both main L-R and rear Surround works for me ( You know I am not really sure but a... 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Kthomas and Shubertmaniac, As I said whatever makes you happy. Live and let live. 
Are you Guys Rich or What!?
Gosh! You can write a book about this from the all of the above replies. My theory is really simple. Buy what makes you happy-be it for music, name brands, or to show -off.No excuses. I waited for long time for what I wanted (Full range speakers, ...
