For pure pop heaven and luscious instrumentation:The Chills "Submarine Bells"Eric Matthews "The Lateness of the Hour" & "It's Heavy in Here" How this guy has not yet become the next Burt Bacharach I just don't know. A brilliant composer, trump...

Second the La Scala's. I'm running them with George Wright 3.5's, and cannot get Cassandra Wilson closer to being in the room than with this combination. 
No one cares this is the anniversary?
Distortion,No question about it. We can only guess at the life we would have had without their courage. And I pray that another 53 million people don't have to die in order to settle a world scale dispute. 
Here's To Dear Old Dad
A big thanks to my dad for having grown up in Motown. And for getting his life-long dream fulfilled in receiving a Rogers drum set for his 35th birthday. That's when I taught myself how to play the drums, listening to Stevie Wonder and the Temptat...

Nrchy,I would suggest (although I certainly could be wrong) that in terms of waxing on his popularity, Reagan's passing could not have come at a better time. In the midst of today's rather charged geopolitical climate, many Americans eagerly celeb... 
Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k?
The Silverline speakers work very well with both tube and SS amps. They have a very open and warm sound, and are highly efficient. The SR-17's are superb monitors. I've heard the Sonata III's, but not the II's. Other than the fact that I'm so part...

Lugnut,Very moving post. Thank you. However, you might want tocheck your facts. Reagan did not leave office with the highest approval in US history. In spite of the fact that many from all walks have recently sung his praises, his approval ratings... 
Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k?
If you liked the Joseph Audio's, I would again suggest listening to the Silverline SR-17's. You can find a used pair for around $1300, and they are extraordinary. You can drive them with as little as 5W. They have a huge soundstage, and you will n... 
Best in depth of soundstaging and ease for 2k?
If you listen primarily to classical, and are not concerned about a lot of bass response, why not consider a SET amp? I'm quite partial to the Mono 3.5's from George Wright, but there are obviously a lot of excellent alternatives. The Audion amps ... 
How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
I am using Signal Cable bi-wires (probably will switch to their new line of silver), Quicksilver IC's, driven by Quicksilver Mini Mono's. Still breaking in, but every few days gets better. Wonderful speakers. Positioning is also very important wit... 
How much burn-in for Soliloquy 5.3s
I had the 5.3's, and now have the 6.2's. Patience, patience, and more patience. They will surprise you when they finally break in (about 500 hours). It will certainly be worth the wait. 
No one cares this is the anniversary?
Albert,Thank you for starting this thread. Maybe I'm ignorant, but perhaps one day we will come to value the lives of others as equal to our own. Until then, I'm afraid we'll be making heroes of the dead. Until then, we will honor those who died f... 
Questions for Soliloquy fans
This may be too late to be helpful, but here's my two cents on the issue. I owned a pair of Soliloquy 5.3's, and now have a pair of 6.2's. I have enjoyed both sets immensely. They are one of the most natural and accurate sounding speakers I've eve... 
what is the best se tube amp
Pepler,I apologize for the incomplete response, as Jax2 raised the most important concern: ensuring a synergy between the amps/pre & your speakers. In my relatively limited experience, even a change in interconnects/speaker cables can sharply ...
