What are in these Bose speakers anyways
I'm thinking of trying their new 3-2-1 'plug-in' device that makes your system sound like surround w/just 2 speakers. has anyone seen that ad on TV yet? there's a 30 day money back guarantee. maybe we could all chip in, buy one & take turns au... 
Audio Phiysics Tempo vs Coincident Parital Eclipse
Given the specs of the Physics (nominal impedance & sensitivity) I'd be leery about using them with lower powered tube amps (assuming this is what you'd be using). The Partials are hard to beat all things considered...mine are keepers. 
The song you just cant stop playing???
lately Horace Silver Quintet, "Lonely Woman" 
How should I ship these babies?
I've used BAX for larger poundage than that & had them picked up at a friends' business & they delivered to the buyers residence. 
If you had $12,000 for speakers and amp
Atmasphere or Joule OTL monos paired w/Coincident Super Eclipses would do it for me. 
New blood needs your Amp/system advice, please.
I used to have an LS-3 like yourself & ran it with a Classe CA 200 amp (the model w/the heatsinks on both sides). It was a great match & those amps can be had very reasonably. good luck & have fun.

The song you just cant stop playing???
The Gourds, "Ants on the Melon" especially after seeing them live. 
Another musical "heads up"....
Wildoats I'll 2nd that. It's a damn shame I love that disc but hardly play it because of that. I think it's their best to date. 
whats your idea of loud music.
Mike-I've read that it's the wind noise rushing by at speed that is the killer, not necessarily the pipes. Of course I haven't owned a straight piped bike in a long time. You may not hear it w/the pipes playing their music at speed but it's there ... 
whats your idea of loud music.
Joe-I know you ride & if you're like me you have ridden a motorcycle w/out earplugs (although I do wear a helmet-no debates everybody please) for a long time which may make the need for the music to be alittle louder & dynamic. remember al... 
What is the best sounding HDCD?
Just about any of the discs from David Grisman's "Acoustic Disc" label are HDCD & superbly recorded. Garcia & Grisman "So What" is one of my favs.
