Dynaudio S5.4 vs B&W 802
If you like the S5.4's then you will absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE the new Dali Euphonia MS4's. I was a die hard Dyn fan (and still am at heart) until I got my latest venture in the way of the Dali Euphonia's. Soundstage and depth like I have never he... 
I need a live great recording
Dee Dee Bridgewater Live at Yoshi's. A must have for your collection if you like female vocals. 
Anyone have any experience with in-wall speakers?
If you have not listened to the new Dynaudio IP24's you owe it to yourself. If you like the sound of Dynaudio's in general then these very well could be the speakers for you. They are pure and sweet and if you are in the music business then you wi... 
Money no object,,,,which speakers would you own???
Handsdown---Dynaudio Evidence Masters!!! 
Jazz suggestions please
In addition to the above mentioned artists, look into Cannonball Adderly as well as Kenny Burrell. Good stuff. 
Best 200 watt x 5 amp for the money?

Who is your overall favorite guitarist?
Joe Pass, who was only mentioned maybe a couple of times in this thread, was probably the finest guitar virtuoso ever. Listen to his stuff and you will see. Other favorites include Robert Johnson(Real father of the blues) Al DiMeola, John McLaughl... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
First off let me just say that their is no one "best" speaker. We all have different ears, hearing and music types that we listen too. We all also have different expectations of what we would like to hear. As well, we all are using different elect... 
Proceed Amp 5 or EAD PowerMaster 1000?
I personally own the PM1000 and absolutely love this amp. I am mainly a 2 channel person but have only one room so have to get the best of both worlds. Am driving a pair of Dynaudio Crafft Monitors and the EAD makes these babies sing. If you can f...
