Bartok Concerto, Fritz Reiner, Fantastic music and sound. 
Wilson Benesch ACT1 VS Dynaudio Confidence 5
Probably the best solid state match to WB is gryphon. Altough I am not familiar with DM100, but the warmer sound of gryphons are complementing well the rather cool sound of WB. Still, I think WB is an overhyped loudspeaker. It is a typical modern ... 
Egglestonworks Andra II: How difficult a load?
Dev, this is a very subjective hobby. But, the most critical link, according to my opinion, is to find the right amplification for a given speakers. That is where the crucial synergy necessary. If one does not have the right synergy, no source or ...

Why Not Bring Back Analog, Reel to Reel Tape
Mastertape played on an Studer 807 or 810 machine is the sonic nirvana. LPs, Cds whatever are mp3 style compressed sonic conserves. Unfortunately.
