Atma-Sphere M60 monoblocks + ML ESL 11 = Inferior combo
100W per channel from a pair of KT-88s? Doesnt seem possible even for a quad of KT-88s.

Autoformers do affect the sound of your system! I am not saying that they are not an option and may be better than the wrong load on an OTL amplifier but they do affect the sound. How could they not as they are a complication/break in the chain?  
Vintage versus New
Quad 57s are one of the few vintage speakers that I think is still relevant and competitive. Keep in mind that chances are good that you will need the 57s redone if they are untouched after purchase.. With few exceptions, speakers are much better ... 
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno
Well it is true that some speakers move more air than others and this is a valid consideration. But if the only thing that the speaker does well is bass it is a bad speaker. Same is true of SPLs. These issues have nothing to do with one speaker so... 
Audiophile Speakers for Rock, HipHop and Techno

Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner?
Part of the allure might be how easy a solution these components are to use and install. Last weekend I listened to a Taurus transformer at a friends and have to say that at least on his system it bested the Shunyata (model # ?) by a wide margin. ... 
Is This the Essence of "The Audiophile Dilemma?
Like Hilde I love the journey.

What dilemma?   
Is an isolation transformer better than a power conditioner?
I agree with latik. With all conditioners I have tried it was always a 2 steps forward and 2 steps back scenario. The harmonic content of the music always seemed to suffer but the blackness of the background seemed to improve. Only with the isolat...
