Maire Brennan-Maire(CD) An eclectic/mystical recording that blends New Age/Euro Celtic Pop.

@slaw I always make an attempt to play at least 1 R&B recording during my 8 side listening sessions. "Variety is the spice of life".

Katie Melua-Piece By Piece(CD) One of the standout recordings of the 2000's. A rare Thursday night(1980's) vinyl night follows.  
Why "bookshelf" sspeakers?
@grannyring    Yes, exceptions always exist. The Seawave Acoustic AM 23($20K) might exceed the Totem Element Metal V2($18.5k) but I have not heard a better allrounder for < $20k regardless of speaker size or type. In general the consumer is get... 
Why "bookshelf" sspeakers?
FWIW I would never consider even a small HEA speaker a "bookshelf" speaker. A stand mount speaker is often more advantageous to the manufacturer than consumer. Why? Shipping/manufacturing costs/stands and even pushing subwoofer(s) are all addition...

Saraya-ST(CD) Another great 1989 release. Easily a Top 5 Pop/Rock recording from 89. FWIW fronted(vocals) by Sandi Saraya with a mix of Pat Benatar/Kim Carnes vocals and a world-class guitar player Tony Rey that is not an EVH clone.  
Logical next step from Legacy Signature SEs? Around $15K...

Maura O'Connell-Just In Time(CD) Another great example of how strong 1989 was for recordings. Virtually unknown with the mainstream, this is easily a Top 100 recording of any genre released in 1989.  
Is it important to long demo or own HIGH END gear to have a fair accurate view about it?
@mapman My point is room acoustic treatment is a given(must have) regardless of the cost/level of the audio system. One can be a serious Audiophile with Burmester or Parasound gear, the point is getting as close to 100% out of the system.
