Progressive Rock

Have any of you specifically built your system to listen to progressive rock, i.e. Yes, Genesis, Pink Floyd, etc.? I'm curious because I have, and was wondering what components you have found that lend themselves well to this particular type of music. The reason I asks is that I attended the Home Entertainment show last month in NYC. And not one of the rooms I visited were playing rock of any kind - and they did not seem receptive to taking request - especially at the volume I would need to hear before plunking down oh say $12,000 for a pair of speakers. Any incite you care to share is appreciated. Thanks, Matt...

DREAM THEATER RULES! Anyway, I play ALOT of
prog rock on drums, RUSH, ELP, DREAM THEATER, YES,
GENISIS, etc. Right now, my system is known as a
MID-FI. (4)Kenwood Basic M2A power amps,
(4)Sony ES CX90ES 200 disc CD changers,
(2)Sony ES JA3ES Minidisc recorders WITH
2 mic inputs on the front of EACH of them,
for recording my drums of coarse,
Pioneer Elite C-91 Pre-Amp,
Yamaha MX-1000 Power Amp, as well as other stuff.
Feel free to experiment with other gear,
although the DAC`s in the Sony CD Changers are
VERY GOOD, it sounds like a LP,
the signal-to-noise is 116db.
And Infinity speakers.
