Top 10 Must-have Classical CD's
Bomarc is 100% correct. It will reveal personal taste or NO taste when one cannot include Mozart in their recommendation. 
Opera recommendations on vinyl
I was also interested in finding old record of Saint-saëns: Samson Et Dalila / Prêtre, Vickers, but only thing i found is new CD on sale at the Arkivmusic.com for $21.83. I am not fan of the opera, but this one blew my mind when i heard it couple ... 
Heard of Nestorovics?
If you contact Savant Audio, they might help you to get in touch with him, as i believe Savant is the only dealer that sell his new products. 
Recommendation for guitar duo CD
"Krusevo" Vlatko Stefanovski and Dusan Tadic. MA recordings, was Stereophile R2D4, couple of years ago. 
DIY Wilson Clone Speakers?
It was fun! At times frustrating but well worth it. I was concerned with same issues, Steved is mentioning, and used extensive bracing (check North Creek Music) and a lot of lead sheet inside the "Watt" cabinet to mimik density and weight of the o... 
Onix A-120, opinions
My experiance is different. I acctualy own British made ONIX OA30 (i heard that new onix is Asian made) and it is sweet sounding amp. Midrange oriented with no trace of SS hardness. I currently use it in my work/studio room mostly with headphones.

Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average??

Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average??
One more for Natalie: I will take Vandersteen 5 over ANY Canadian speaker, at any time! You would too, if you knew! 
Gershmann speakers: Underrated or just average??
My opinion is that US companies, produce THE best speakers on the market. And at any price will match ANY and EVERY speaker made in Europe or Canada, with equal or better product! Amen! 
What companies, out of Business, did you LOVE???
Sonic Frontiers! Still in "business," however making can openers instead of HQ audio. 
Need Recommendations for Amp/Pre or Integrated
That would be worst mistake on 'someone else' deciding your speaker, or that matter ANY purchase. You asked for amplification for YOUR speakers, and not the critique of your purchase. I agree with Rgd, research and learn.
