also, anything with M. Ward! Before Zooey Deschanel discovered him, NJ already dragged him along on a 4 month concert tour and the result was delicious!

to me Norah Jones was a fad (again and again) that can easily slip back up and make me fall in love with her voice again, but I don't listen to her more than a few hours a year. She is very talented, versatile, down to earth, and never takes herse... 
I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
the room is probably harder to change than what's in it

SF isn't as great as the myth, but probably great enough with the right equipment. For sure the best looking speaker design and easy to (re)sell.

Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
@whart good for you! I know most people here are above or way above average and I am happy for them, their ability to pay for their hobby. There wouldn't be Ferraris and 30K speakers without them.  
Why Is Hi Fi Gear So Darn Expensive?
@whart "they are just ardent hobbyists who don’t spend on boats, Ferraris, second or third homes, jet shares or whatever" Regular people don't get to spend on boats and Ferraris ever. They may buy a new mid-size car once or twice in their lifetim...
