What are the best sounding outdoor speakers?
Check out the Rockets at av123.com. For $99.00/pr tough to beat, or go wrong. I have a pair of Speakercraft's that are serving me well though. For 2+ years they were uncovered and exposed to lots of sun and rain (this past winter in Southern CA, a... 
Please help me on a speaker selection
You should add a pair of Vandersteen 3A Sigs to your list. I've had mine since Novemember 04, and am very pleased. Also, the new Quattro's are out and have garnered great news from those whove listened. The 3A Sigs + 2 Vandy subs would be around $... 
Dedicated CD Player Recommendation
Erik - I purchased a dealer demo Equinox around November and love it. Its a very musical player - leans to the warm side and very easy to listen to for long periods of time. Lately, I've found myself reaching for CD's and the Simaudio over playing...

First Order Crossovers: Pros and Cons
"I have only listened to Vandersteens (of the 1st order designs) and the difference in sound from sitting in the time coherence zone to standing up is quite alarming. There is something special going on in the sweet spot, but the Vandersteens soun...

Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
"One thing that always strikes me about Vandersteen 3's and 2's is how you must be right in the middle of the sweet spot for them to sound good. Move just a few feet and they loose something. Well not just something, but they loose everything"In m... 
Vandersteen 3A Sig vs. Von Schweikert VR4 Jr.
Opalchip is dead on accurate with his comments. On jazz and acoustic music, the 3A Sigs absolutly shine. In fact there was no comparision agaist the vr4jr - they just did not impress me at all.
