NAD Reliability
I have owned NAD 1300 Preamp and it has been reliable for last 10 years. However it had pops + clicks from day 1. I have since upgraded to an Adcom Gfp 565 and still have the pops + clicks. I think the culprit is my Hafler DH-200 amp. 
List or discuss your favorite music
Anything by GENTLE GIANT the best 70's progressive band. Also anything by Pat Metheny, Flim + The BB's , Bela Fleck on the jazz side. 
Speakers: all-time worst
Come on guys... Bose 901's take this title hands down...Yeech... 
Paradigm vs. PSB
I just heard the Stratus Silvers and was not impressed. The treble was too laid back and i could not hear the drums.. The Paradigms are next on my list.
