Pink Floyd -Meddle   
Need speaker recommendations.
B&W 803’s.  vanderstein signature II  my favorites though are my Dalquist DQ 10’s with the factory crossover and base module. Love those but they will make you listen to them LOUD  
Dac streamer upgrade advice From simaudio d280 to?

Music to take to an audition
I've used John Coltrane's Love Supreme, Neil Young for acoustic (old man or maybe Harvest Moon), Derick and the Dominos Live at the Filmore East for a live album (Key to the Highway), and always something Beatles. 
Best "Bang for the Buck" you have owned?
My Best Bang for the buck so far has been my McIntosh C28 for $800.00.  I hope to beat that soon on something new.  I've got some Vandersteens on the way (2Ce sigII's). I gave $1400 for them, but if the reviews I've read are accurate, it might be ...

You guys have made me feel better about the audio flu I seem to have.  Question: I'm running 7.1 in the theater.  The recently acquired Mac MX 135 and MC7108 are destined to go in there.  With the 7108 it can me bridged into 4-channel at 100W each...

Thanks.  I've read good things about them.  I'm going to keep an eye out and try to pick up a pair, make the modification for three way and add them to thee heard. 
Starting a 2 Channel System from the Top of the Rabit Hole
Garplo,Welcome to the illness.  I caution you that once started on this path, it will be very consuming.  That said, McIntosh is never a bad idea in my opinion.  Not familiar with the Anthem equipment you're looking at.  I have several Mac preamps...

Kjohn,I'm with you brother.  I've spent the budget for Audio for a minute.  Like it was said above - Enjoy the music, and that's just what I'm doing.  Nice glass of scotch, and listing to the Allman Brother Live from from Filmore East at the momen...

Yes. Fun, but guilty fun.  My wife just has no idea why there is so much great sound all over the house. I told her I had just changed a few things around. Sine my first post, I’m looking at some Monitor Audio Gold 200’s. Any opinion on those?  Th...

Thanks everyone. I’m glad to see it isn’t just me.  That’s a very accurate quote from Red October. LOL
