Most achingly-beautiful music
Thanks Khrys: I'll bet that's it. We received the piece on a "burned CD" without any other info. Everyone that I have played and hummed it to has noted the BA commercial but did not know the name. 
Most achingly-beautiful music
The Mozart piece that was used in the British Airways commercials (don't know the name of it). 
Best Movie Soundtrack
"Dead Man Walking" (various), "Angela's Ashes" (John Williams), "The English Patient" (?), "Breakfast at Tiffany's (Mancini) and if you like Gilbert & Sullivan try "Topsy-Turvy". 
Impulsive audio purchase
Noonen: See if you can get them burned to CD. You can then listen to the CD and look at the album cover. You probably had this in mind when you purchased them, but just forgot. 
Speaker Placement
Good news JD. My speakers have a tendency to "creep" if you know what I mean, and the soundstage just gets better and better.

SHUNYATA BLK MAMBA or WHALE ELITE?
Has anyone compared the EEL to the Whale? Other than Brulee and Lak I do not recall any references to the EEL. Does the Whale eat the EEL alive or do they have similar traits? I am also interested in the Whale but would not be able to swing 3 or 4...

Rogers LS3/5A Replacement Recommendation

Speaker Placement
Intersting Sam: My speakers ended up with non symetrical placement that was arrived at through trial and ear. The left speaker is 21" from the front wall and 6' from the side wall. There are (almost) floor to ceiling standard bookshelves directly ... 
Marble to place speakers on?
Kevint: Do you mean placing the marble between the floor and the stands? I have found a general belief in the forums that stands need to match the type of floor that they are used on. Heavy massive stands for floors that have very little give (suc...
