High Efficiency Speakers
If you don't want to spend a huge amount of money the Klipsch KLF Series (10,20,30) sounds very good at 98,100 or 102 (dB). You could purchase Lowther drivers in a pre-built cabinet, or make your own. Same for the Hammer Dynamics 12 Loudspeaker ki... 
Amps and Women
God Bless women that will take some time to appease their significant other! 
anyone with a 'system' near me?
I think its a great idea! In my area there are not any high end two channel stores that carry equipment I am interested in. If one could hook-up with others we could listen to other equipment etc. etc. I live in Perrysgurg, Ohio (North West Ohio) ... 
Contact cleaners/What's good?
I have had excellent results with Kontact. I use it at least four times a year if not more often. I have not seen any build up. 
Any opinions on Leagacy stuff?
I own some Legacy equipment in addition to other manufactures equipment. Legacy makes good high quality, big bang for the buck equipment. I really like my Signiture III, and Studio speakers. Coda makes their amps and pre-amps, I have not had a pro... 
DAC at us$1000
For more information regarding Bel Canto Dac-1 and Birdland read the AodiogoN Threads "Bel Canto Dac-1 Upgrade" and "Bel Canto or Birdland?"

Try the EEL Reference and the Whale Elite advertised on this site by BIM. I think you will be happily surprised. 
How do you feel about your system?
ORGASMIC! 
DAC at us$1000
I second what rute1 had to say. I am not sure and probably disagree with audiopath because we do not know your other equipment. Using your Sony as a transport along with an up-sampling DAC is the way to go. I have not heard the MSB however I own a... 
THE BEST SMALL SPEAKERS
I don't know about the best, but for the price it's hard to beat a pair of NHT Super Ones (sorry guys I have a pair for sale on this site) and a sub. Legacy Audio makes a very good small speakes, their studio speaker thats worth a listen! 
Cryo your cables?
I know some professional musicans that have mouth pieces cryogenically frozen and they say it improves the sound. They also say it is a temporary fix, and must be repeated over a length of time (I forget what the time interval is). 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
Chucky, I addressed that question in another thread; however, I don't remember the name. Using web tv it's a pain in the butt to go back and find it, so here goes from memory: I demoed the Bel Canto DAC-1 and the Birdland DAC (I forget the exact n... 
BEST Digital Cable
Chucky, add to your list Silver Audio's Silver Stream. Redkiwi, have you heard that digital cable? 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
Tubegroover, I'd say polite and evenhanded. However I will say this; those little 5 watt monoblocks were really pounding out some highs, mids and lows, better than I had expected! Its hard for me to comment on the CJ 11-A because I am use to heari... 
Bel Canto DAC 1 Upgrade
All right boys and girl, here is what I hear using the upgraded Bel Canto Dac-1; All music (individual instuments, hand held percussion, bass including vocals) are more detailed, have a richer more dimensional sound with better resolution and body...
