Montana MIni Monitor
I have owned several Montana speakers and you always get the same thing:1. Smooth musical sound2. Great fit and finish3. Ability to sound good with all types of musicMontana speakers are the greatest bargin in hi end. 
Turntable isolation
Look to Gingko audio. Simple concept, but it really works wonders! 
Hansen King V2 / TAD M1 / YG Studio Reference .
I'm with KenntT 100% having heard all 3 several times. At this price point, I would also look at MBL 101. You'll save some money on speakers, but will have to spend on amps as they are pigs. Good luck! 
Speakers in 10-15K price range for Classical music
I really love my Montana EPS2's for all types of classical music. The cello is rendered so well by the midranges.. 
just auditioned tannoy yorkminster
It's the super tweeter! The smooth musical nature of the Tannoy's is ruined by the super sweeter IMO. Original Autograph's with Lamm's cannot be touched in terms of musicality.

Anti-skate
...or you spilled wine on the begining tracks. 
Mbl 101 extemes.
Everytime I go to hear their speakers at CES, the Germans are blasting Slayer at 200 DB's. They just play their music sooooo loud you really can't go into the room or you will ruin the rest of your day. Its really too bad....
