Marble or Granite shelfs in a hifi rack?
I have had terrific success with thick granite, particularlyin combination with other isolation devices. I've alsotried the 4" in thick maple which I feel is even better.

Speakers for Rock

Richard Gray 1200S, Hydra or ????

How grills affect?
I have the Dunlavy SC-V (s) and there is no question that the speakers sound more definitive with the grills off. 
Klipschorns
I have had a fair amount of exposure to the Klipschornsand I can really tell you first hand that it is a 'classic'but very tired and old design for a speaker. First, it justis not very accurate. Secondly, the imaging is just wayexagerated. Thirdly...
