big fan of the soundtrack as well--definitely going to order. 
new mgmt album congratulations
The fact you compare this to Pink Floyd or the Beatles is even more ridiculous. Which PF or Beatles album didn't have one real single on it? Sorry, we can agree to disagree.I don't want Time to Pretend 2 either---but i want coherant, well thought ... 
new mgmt album congratulations
I'm sorry, I think this album is garbage and the excuses they make for these guys are ridiculous. Will see if they can resurrect themselves on the next one. 
Muse Live
missed them at Coachella this year, but yes, hear they are a great show. 
Magico Q5
Razmika- what's wrong with high end McIntosh?btw, wasn't the Q5 announced at 50k at CES? Or is now that Valin says its the greatest speaker of the world the price is now 60k. Yawn, so typical of this industry these days.

Best Rock Album in 2010

Why is high capacitance good?
Al- thanks for the detailed (and fascinating) response. How high are radio frequencies that you mention? Some of these particular cables may actually attenuate high frequencies (MIT with Wilson seems to be a popular combination because of it) so p... 
What Wilson to Buy?
well, the Sophia 3 has the same tweet and mid as the Sasha---just a bit less bass with the single 10" driver. definitely seems the value prospect in the line to me---Maxx3 is in a totally different league i'm sure. 
Best high-efficiency speaker under 10K
i think you should use the search function---this subject has been discussed ad nauseum on the forum this year. 
Pass Labs:What to expect fm XA60.5 to XA100.5
the latest TAS said the Sasha is not an easy speaker to drive, leading me to believe the higher power option is preferable.in fact, RH said it was the hardest to drive speaker in the Wilson line. ymmv.
