Do you listen to non-music media?
I often listen to courses from the Teaching Company, science, history, arts, economics and so forth. Some audiobooks, too. But this is usually through headphones while exercising or in the car. I don't often waste opportunities to listen to music ... 
What tracks really make your system shine?

So long, Paul Revere and Mike Auldrige

RMAF - Loudspeakers that you don't want to miss
I'll be interested in the Raidho speakers, after reading glowing reviews.

My wife swears that the universal antidote to any earworm is to sing "Bang a Gong". Maybe, but the cure will kill you!
