Electrocompaniet EMC1 MkIII
TY-audiotroy.I have always wanted to demo EnKlein cabling.I will 2nd- Wireworld cable systems. I really like the Electra 7  power cord (PC). I use their HDMI and it is the best in the market! 
Considering Wilson or Sonus Faber floor standing over my Rockport monitors & Wisdom Sub
Listen to the Wilson speakers (both Sophia and Sasha) to get a better idea of their "sound". These are a natual sonic match for ARC gear.I still remember hearing an ARC Ref5SE w/ ARC/Bryston power amps and Transparent cable systems. Very nice soun...

oblgnyClasse' (corrected). I still want to hear B.A.T. and Thiel just for a reference. Difficult to find dealers/retailers.... 
Bryston vs Modwright?
ilikemilesThe Bryston is a sonic match for the ARC Ref5 SE pre-amp.I have heard this combo (3B-ST and 4B-SST) on Wilson Audio speakers and Transparent Ref XL / OPUS cable systems. Excellent sound and presentation indeed! 
Best recordings to demonstrate soundstage?
Another vote for Pink Floyd;Dark Side of the MoonThe Wall

Jazz for aficionados
TY- orpheus10WWOZ has an on-line playlist as well. 
Anyone hear Dynaudio subwoofers
Sure, the older REL models are probably best. The "B" series are especially excellent. There was the B1, B2 and B3. These were still made/built in the U.K. 
Is it all worth it?
Both Boston and Polk Audio made excellent mobile audio speakers back in the late-80's and early 90's. Cannot say much for their home speakers though. Mid-Fi is a fun listen w/o being in the critical side of things.Happy Listening! 
Mark Levinson 436 Monoblock Amplifiers- How much Class A?
Excellent points,gs5556 and lucidear. This is a very powerful amp. 
I need advice on which speaker
A shout out for Thiel CS 2.7- you have the prefect space for this speaker.
