Anthony Cordesman currently writes for The Absolute Sound. He doesn't have a review in the current issue so maybe somone else can chime in as to what his current set-up is. (I don't save my issues.) From memory I recall that he currently has Pass electronics in his reference system. He has been a fan of Thiel speakers for some time, but I don't recall if that's his current speaker. Before the Thiels he was a big fan of Apogee speakers, IIRC.
I didn't realize his "day job" until the first Gulf War back in 1990-91. This military analyst was on tv, with maps and a pointer, and a name flashes on the screen, Anthony Cordesman, and my jaw dropped.
