2016: a new year for music....
For the Metal fans-Megadeth "Dystopia" was released a few weeks ago. Any other veteransof the hard rock/metal genre going to drop this year? 
Building a system from scratch (other than speakers)
OP-you are off to a nice start. Seek out ML dealers/retailers to determine the kind of gear that sounds appropriate w/ those speakers.Do not forget the most important aspect, cables/power cords!Keep me posted & Happy Listening! 
What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report
Pharoah Sanders- 
Universal Players vs. Dedicated CD/SACD Players
cjcomo-the Omega series was very sweet. Does Classe' still have parts/service for these players?I agree- NAD makes excellent cd players, especially, the 1990's models.

Nordost Odin or Valhalla 2
Guys-at this level, careful gear selection is paramount to achieve the proper system synergy.  I have only auditioned the mid-level Nordost cabling and rather enjoyed the experience w/ Naim gear.Happy Listening! 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Diana Krall- Live in Paris! 
Parasound JC2 compatibility with Quicksilver v4's
cellorover-did you demo a CJ ET-3 or ET-3 SE preamp prior to the ET-5 ? 
Tried Dynaudio Sapphires with Moon 330A + 330p - very disappointing
I concur w/ jriggy- the Vandy Treo/Quattro are very finicky, to say the very least.  The 1st order cross-over is very different from other brands, IMO.I love my Thiel speakers (another 1st order cross-over) and demonstrates another point of view.
