In Shower With M_Logans
Seek immediate counseling........Its going to be all right. 
Norah Jones?
Thanks for all the reply's. Even though I don't agree with many of them. Personally I think her music is very soothing. I'm not going to listen to it on my way to the pub on Friday night,but it sounds great in more laid back settings. I also stand...

The best used surround processor under $750???
Ante up another 50.00-100.00 and get a used Rotel 1066. I have one and I'm very pleased with it.

Simaudio W-5 or Pass X-250 for Dynaudio Special 25
I have the Pass X-250 and I can't imagine you wouldn't be thrilled with it. Its neutral,dynamic,detailed,great bottom end and freakin gorgeous. Its a large amp-so make sure you have the room(floor space) for it. I can't comment on the Simaudio alt...

Which Sub for Martin Logans?
I have the Depth and I love it. Its probably a perfect match for your SL3's. BTW- My fronts are ML Ascents. 
Amplifier For Martin Logan CLSIIZ?
Pass Labs X-150. A little beyond your budget(1750.00-used) but its a great match for your Logans. I used this amp to drive my Ascents. Its a great match to Martin Logans. In 4 ohms it will put out 300 watts(Logans love power)Its also very musical,... 
Alternatives to Pass Labs
Harry- if you liked the Aleph 3(30 watts Class A) How about the Forte 1a or the 4a. This is also a Nelson Pass design. It is 50 watts of Class A. These can be had in 500.00 dollar range. I have never read a bad thing about this amp,in fact most pe... 
Bonzo's drum sound
Funny you should mention that about John Bonham. I've been telling people for years how hard he hits the drums. The only reaction I ever got was either rolling eyes or funny looks. Bonham is clearly my favorite drummer of all time. The new DVD set...

Smooth jazz recommendations
Its not smooth jazz,but give Michael Hedges a try. Its classified as New Age. He is an incredible guitar player,and its very well recorded. Some of the titles are:Oracle,Taproot,and I'm sure some AGoners will chirp in some more titles. Its 4:40am ... 
Essay bashing Primedia, Stereophile - and Audiogon
Disclaimer- My comments above are not in any way a reflection on my current local dealer. If everybody treated people like Audio Visions(Strongsville,and Solon Ohio) the high end audio industry would be alot more cohesive. My frustrations are more... 
Finest subwoofer for music under $1,000?
Its a stretch but for around 1K(used-usually abot 1200.00) you can get a Martin Logan Depth. It integrates with 2 channel as good as I've ever heard,and for surround its incredible.
