Bozak concert grand speakers
Have you tried to move them yet? They were designed with empty chambers intended to be filled with sand! 
Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard
flashbazbo’s post says it all; that’s EXACTLY how almost all commercial recordings are made. It is also the reason why using any of them in the attempt to assess the accuracy of a system, or loudspeaker, or any other component, is pointless. One C... 
Best all British, except cables, system you heard or can think of.
inna, the GR Research/Rythmik OB/Dipole Sub is a completely different animal than are sealed and ported subs, even really good ones like REL’s. It works well with all loudspeakers, but especially dipoles. A dipole sub with a dipole speaker, see? S... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?
slaw, I listened to that Lucinda song just last night. The way she sings "Oh my baby" is SO lascivious! It leaves no doubt what she is implying ;-) . 
Aries 1 JWM 10 Tonearm replacement or upgrades?
@billandsol, there is a VPI Super Platter with inverted bearing on U.S. Audiomart right now, asking price $1200.

Oops, Karsten.

Bass for the Quads I left out because that HAS to be American---the GR Research/Rythmik Direct Servo-Feedback OB/Dipole Sub is the only way to go! If it has to be British, the Gradient dipole sub will do. 
speakers with active bass
Jim Salk not only builds powered subs into his higher-priced loudspeaker models, he does so with the Rythmik Servo-Feedback sub!

Microphones certainly are transducers, the recording equivalent of the phono cartridge in playback. They therefore are more inherently prone to distortion than are electronics, but the way in which outboard processing is used by the vast majority ... 
Tune of the Day
Cool slaw, I'll have to give T & L another viewing. I haven't seen it since it was in the theaters, and hadn't recalled that scene.

This is an easy one for me, being somewhat of an Anglophile. London Reference pickup, Helius Omega Silver Ruby arm, Townshend Audio Rock turntable, Ear-Yoshino Acute 4/Dac 4 CD/SACD player, EAR-Yoshino 912 pre-amp and 534 power amp, QUAD ESL louds... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Filth & Fire by Mary Gauthier. Gurf Morlix (Lucinda Williams’ guitarist/bandleader/producer up through and including her Car Wheels On A Gravel Road album) produces, plays a bunch of instruments, and sings harmony. Other musicians on the album... 
Nakamichi Cassette Decks
Whatta ya know wolf, same Nak (BX300) I bought from Brooks Berdan thirty years ago. Had it rebuilt at the Nak service center in L.A. once, still works and sounds fine. a good partner to my Revox A77 reel-to-reel. 
Why should we think of "what microphones heard " as a standard
tomic601, I have made live recordings of my own bands, using a pair of small diaphragm condenser mics straight into the two channels of a Revox A77. I used the same mics into a simple Sony mixer and then into a Teac 3340 4-track to make studio rec... 
Do people really just not get it that their items are not selling...
I enjoy reading the thoughts of highly-opinionated people, one’s with a well-defined point of view. Arthur is certainly that! I bought a piece from him a few years ago for a very reasonable price, and found him to be a pleasure to deal with.
