SPEAKERS FOR MY NEW LISTENING ROOM
I am sure you'll like Dynaudio 3.0! 
Sand or shot for speaker stands?
Lead shot cost 15-18$ 25lbs bag, and you'll need 2. Around 40$ and is well worth it. 
Music Fidelity or Adcom
No, i have't listen these speakers with neither amps! However, think about the "expansion". In the future you may want to upgrade your pre-amp to GFP-750? Adcom's "flagship" pre-amp. Or/and Amp itself.With the A3 you are limited. But if you prefer... 
The BEST Audiophile System under $5k...
BETTER? Absolutely: Linn Majik II(Audioquest silver jumpers), Linn Genki cd, Linn Tukan with Linn stands filled with lead shot. Lk-400 bi-wire cable Transparent interconect. If large room, add Velodyne VA-86 Sub, "actively" connected with DIY "Be... 
Great Acoustic Guitar Recordings
"The Guitarist John Williams". The BEST guitar CD i heard to date! Performs work by: Mikis Theodorakis, Carlo Domeniconi, Satie...etc. Also "Krusevo" Vlatko stefanovski, D. Tadic from M.A.recordings(stereophile R2df) 
Speaker Cable Recommendation
That was one of THE BEST set-ups, i've heard to date. Krell-Dynaudio 3.0 (number one is still, Wadia, Vac, Avalon) Ok, this is the cables used, including interconect: Krell Cogelco Yellow (balanced), QED Qudos Profile 8 (biwired). I don't know how... 
Need upgrade advice
Maybe you should try Linn Keltik speakers...i know people "swear" on the Magneplanars but still,... i would try Keltik's with majority Linn gear. Also you can go "aktiv" in the future...something to keep you occupied. 
Small Speakers w/ Full Range Sound
Soliloquy 5.3 if you have a low powered tube amp, or ss...also Totem Arro...unbelivable bass from such a small driver! 
Entry Level Tube Amp CD Player Direct.
Just curious...why tubes? If you must have tubes, Jolida makes some nice tube integrated amps 500-700$. Used Linn Mimik 5-600$ or Rotel 990 5-700,(discontinued) speakers Soliloquy 5.0 5-700(with stands used).However, if you want music "for life" a... 
Speakers: all-time worst
Martin Logan arius...in the set up i heard ss Conrad Johnson amp and rest...sounded lifeless, dead...wonder all this reviews..it must be some trick! Also Klipsch (any)should stay frozen in the 50's.... 
BEST classical guitar.....CD!
Thank you Issabre...but please, please leave that lemonade thing out,... you know for the occasion like that, as you described, give me some Vino! 
Best Integrated Amp $1-2k range
Subaru!...how much "MORE" is Audio Refinement...neutral than the AVATAR? And, you are able to tell us that? Right? You are full of $^(&! You never listen Avatar, otherwise you would never made such a statement. Also, Linn Majik beats any Int. ... 
BEST HEAVY METAL BAND
Deep Purple! 
Worst Rock Band Ever !!!!
Loverboy..Any band with Ron Keel on vocals...Tesla...Great White.... 
Naim Nait 3r or Linn Majik
I own all Linn Majik, Tukan and Karik cd...so i would go with the Linn, as more available and affordable. I think? Than again, both products are of the high value and quality so you should audition both, and decide what kind of sound you more pref...
