Have you seen Eric Clapton at his best?
Saw Clapton on his 25th Anniversary tour ( in the late 80's). Mark Knopfler was his back up guitarist.Played all his old stuff, although the encore was Dire Straits, Money for Nothing ... strange choice in my opinion. It was the best concert I've ...

Speakers for Simaudio Moon I-5
I've heard the I-5/Nova combo with Wilson Benesch Arcs. Stunning! Really big sound with holographic imaging. At first, I thought I was listening to full range speakers. A bit pricey, though. But if you're considering the S1.4's, I'd give the WB's ...

Roger Daltry/ Pete TownshendJeff Beck ( In know... he doesn't sing. But the sounds he gets out of his guitar .... ! Check out this CD : Jeff Beck's Guitar Shop, and you'll know whay I mean. ) 
Wilson Benesch
