JBL L300 - true myth?
As a kid, it was always my dream to own a pair of L300’s. I would love to pick up a nice pair today. The smaller L110 and L65 were nice too.

JBL L300 - thinking aboout mcintosh mc60
Wow JBL-300, one of my favorite speakers of all time, used to go to the hi-fi shops as a kid and drool over them. Never sell them :) 
Gryphon vs. McIntosh
Sorry to keep you waiting Roxy... I have never owned a piece of McIntosh gear, not that I wouldn't because it is "good" gear. I also have never owned Gryphon (it is not available in the United States), but I have listened to both on many occasions... 
What Power Conditioner to use with the Simaudio
I would skip any in-line conditioner and use a dedicated outlet with a hospital grade outlet and a good power cord. Add a Nordost Qx4 quantum field generator. 
Earliest "MOST WANTED" gear
JBL L300 was my dream speaker back in the day... Still would like to own a pair today. 
Nordost Valhalla
I would try Vahalla 2. I found that they are revealing without the edge, plus your dealer will take them in trade. *we are a dealer for Nordost, but really feel the Valhalla 2 is amazing...

Brinkmann/Spiral Groove/TW Acustic Black Night...?
Hi Peter, yes the Brinkmann table being a mass loaded design benefits greatly from an isolation base. Brinkmann recommends HRS and I have also heard the table on top of a Vibraplane Both sounded very good, not sure which I preferred - I need to he... 
Jospeh Audio Pearl3 or Rockport Atria
Hey Goose, not sure what your room looks like, but mathematically it would work well with the Atria. I have had the Avior and Atria in a 14x23x9 room and preferred the Atria in many ways. If the room were slightly larger the Avior might be a bette...
