You have no time - I have no money. 
Solid state "backup" amp recommendation
Try a Plinius SA102 used on the 'Gon for ~$2500Great sounding amp, and you can use the 'Class A vs class A/B' switch, very versatile.May even give your bat a run for its money in many areas! Definitely freq. extremes and dynamics. 
Wilson Sophia
I think the Sophias are better than the W/P, including version 7. At least- I like them better. 
Please compare the following headphones
Csericks - As long as you're using one of those amps with the Ipod - the Senn 600s will sound AMAZING. The Senn 600s are one of high-end audio's best products. Near reference quality sound in a phone that you can get for $200 used. You could spend... 
6 Moons Reviews Zu Cable Definition Speaker
Nothing is more annoying than whan reviewers and people use a percentage as a relative measure between two audio components. Well, nothing other than people driving slowly in the left lane.How many percentage points does a cello sounding more like... 
recommend entry-level high-efficiency loudspeakers
If you could find a used pair of Klipsch KLF20s you would be in good shape. Great High efficiency (100db) speaker. I used mine with a Jolida PP amp, would be even better with SET. Dynamics in spades.

Your SME is beautiful 
Dynaudio Confidence C1's and Special 25's
Trevoroptom - I wouldn't worry about being able to sell the Special 25s - They are a great pair of speakers, but are picky with setup and electronics.I own the S1.4s, and have heard them rightalongside the S25s with a Sim w5 amp. Though the 1.4s a...

To be honest, I think the Michell Gyro SE is pretty damn cool looking. 
Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL?
Albert - I take it you prefer your Dalis to the advanced Kharmas and Wilson Grans Slamms? The Wilson Maxx's I find quite amazing. I have heard the Exquisites, but I don't think the system was setup properly, my demo with them was less than stunning. 
Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL?
Albertporter - I am familliar with GR Research, though not with any of Danny's line arrays. I bought a pair of Paradox 1s from him a while back. I don't have them any more, as I sold them to a friend when I moved to my Dynaudios. (I have plans to ... 
Line Arrays - Competitive with best dynanics, ESL?
Thanks for all the great responses guys!Albertporter - What dynamic speakers did you own? What compelled you to move to the Sound Labs? Can you compare/contrast the pros/cons of the Dalis relative to the Soundlabs?Richards - Does Selah still make ... 
Do you think you need a subwoofer?
cdc - By your reaction, I'm assuimg you had two high-end subs hooked up in true stereo mode with a high pass to your main speakers hooked up in your room? You found they didn't offer a suitable return on your investment? 
Looking for a new speaker. Wilson Maxx II ??
Deshapiro - Yes, of course the speakers interaction with the room is the biggest concert/potential bottleneck in every music system.Orangej4 - Congratuations on the MAXXes. What other equipment are you using with them? Can you compare and contrast...

Rch - I totall agree with you for the most part - I have plenty of bad sounding LPs due to the recording. However - in general, my LPs sound much better than my CDs, regardless of hardware. LPs have the ability to take me to that 'next level' wher...
