What does one purchase after owning horns?
I would second the calls for good, full range electrostatics. I've heard the Soundlabs and the largest new Quads and tought they sounded as "alive" as my horns. BTW,the newest Avantgardes do a much better job of intregrating bass. 
Amp to match Avantgarde Uno G2 horn speakers
Best matches I've heard:-Lamm 2.1-Audiopax 88-First Watt F3 and J2-VivaThe nice thing about First Watt is that you can have an in home trial from Reno HiFi. The F3 was wonderful but not a great match with my Hovland HP-100. 
Brinkmann Bardo vs Transrotor Fat Bob Reference
These are both rare turntables. I really doubt many people have heard both, and probably no one has heard both in he same system.I can say that the fit and finish of my Transrotor is excellent. It's the modern Micro.

Got to love Greg's music. I still give "Gentlemen" a spin now and again.I'm also going to try to go to the LA show. 
amarra or pure music..?
My Mac Mini, Pure Music, Ayre QB-9 and iPhone remote system work perfectly. Somehow, it rivals my $12K vinyl system with the ease of not leaving my couch.IMO computer audio is here and better than any CD player I could afford.

First Watt to Pass Labs
Read his post again. It's the reason I used insensitive in quotes. 
First Watt to Pass Labs
Larry,I'm currious that you found the amp "insensitive." It has an imput impedience of 100K which should make it very "sensitive." The F3 on the other hand has very low imput impedience.

Very...104. 
First Watt to Pass Labs
I'm really enjoying the First Watt J2. I tried out a F3 first and there was an impediance miss match with my preamp (Hovland has a low output).Mark at Reno Hifi is one of the greatest retailers I've worked with. He shipped me the F3 and then shipp... 
Magico - a new Mini?
Free speech and capitalism dont always go together. What is suprising is that Magico does not seem to be a big advertiser on Agon. 
Magico - a new Mini?
I have to say that the Mini 2 was one of the coolest looking 2 ways ever. I saw the Q1 at CES and it looks like Best Buy speakers, IE just standard boxes. Why have such a boring looking design?But I do own Avantgardes.... 
How can anyone afford this ?
Put together a killer headphone system. I was shocked hear how wonderful my AKG701's were for $250. Put all your money into a record player, decent headphone amp and AKG's or Stax.Then save for rest...I wish I had.

Orpheus,On the Corner was made years after Bitches Brew and In a Silent Way, so Miles had alreay moved off Jazz. About "Miles was supposed to be Jazz," you are wrong on two fronts: 1). Miles had already produced several classical albums. 2). Artis...
