Uncoloured Speaker for $450
I have a pair of PE Leon Primas that are outstanding minimonitors. You can find them here on audiogon through one of the Canadian merchants for about $500. You will not be dissappointed! Good Luck! 
Dynaudio, ProAc, Totem???
For you gentleman that have heard these speakers, can you comment, from your listening experience, as per distance from the back wall(behind the speaker) the differing models truly require? And how about Joseph Audio RM7si? Those of us with small ... 
Small Dedicated Listening Room???
Howdy, partner! I have an even smaller room than you! The only two negatives to speak of are lack of room for your friends to sit and share music with, and speaker choice, (i.e. no Maggies are possible.) But, I have found mucho happiness with my m... 
Upsampling DACS: Take the Pepsi Challenge
I don't know how my automatic transmission works, but I can drive my truck. I am enjoying my Bel Canto DAC1 in the DVD-toslink-DAC set up. If someone would kindly send me some of the other DACs for a comparison, I would be glad to share my thought...

Also check Chesky label for Rebecca Pidgeon's "Four Marys." It is pretty much all traditional Celtic....a Scot singing Irish melodies. It is also 96/24 if your DAC will allow it. 
Clean Ears: Cheap Tweak?
I am a veterinarian, not a physician, but I deal with more ear wax and otitis in dogs and cats on a daily basis than you could believe. I also like carbamide peroxide solutions and water rinse (Murine home earwax removal system.) It is gentle, saf...

If you don't already have it....get the "Chesky 10th Anniversary Special," it has a great mix of various sounds and is well recorded, (see their website.) Also, the soundtrack to "Waking Ned Devine" by Shawn Davey is a lot of fun. (Highly recommen... 
Worst Music of All-Time
Disco. Anything coming from my 12 year old daughter's cd collection. (Damn those hollow doors.) Also see post "Best Heavy Metal Band" for a list. (Music to kill by. We heard lots of that when I was a paratrooper at Ft. Bragg...gets you in the mood... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Please don't miss Wagner's "Prelude to Act 1" of both "Parsifal" and "Lohengrin" operas. R Vaughn Williams' "Fantasia on a Theme By Thomas Tallis." And, for a twist, try Lyle Lovett on "She's Already Made Up Her Mind" found on the Joshua Judges Ru... 
Best musician in the world?
How 'bout that Roy Clarke from Hee Haw? And funny too. 
BEST HEAVY METAL BAND
I guess I'll get me a pair of Cerwin Vegas and check out some of these awesome tunes. Such catchy song titles, too. I think the Buzzard of Oz really shows off my system. I just love to watch those woofers wiggle, don't you? 
Bel Canto DAC1 or MSB Link III
I am currently using the DAC1 with the 525. I am using the toslink connection to the DAC1 and some XLO Reference Type 1 to my amp. I am very much enjoying the combination. I have not heard the Link III in comparison, so forgive me for chiming in, ...

According to the folks at Acoustic Sounds, Inc. (3-4 months ago,) there is a Sax remaster of Dark Side due soon. The original date of release was spring of '00, but there is/was/were a few seconds of sound loss on the master tape that they were wo...
