What small HT speakers to buy?
I have a few options for you to consider. First off, I would like to second the NHTs. If you can spring it the NHT's would be the way to go. They have the best midrange, and a superone is by far a better center channel (where most of your dialogue... 
Favorite HT demo scene from a movie?
The train wreck scene in "The Fugitive". 
My first Jazz cd
I second the Miles Davis "Kind of Blue" album as well as the John Coltrane "Blue Train". I also recommend Duke Ellington : "Live at Newport". Even though it's a live recording it's a great album. If your looking for more modern jazz, look into Jos... 
Best Patricia Barber's CD?
Nightclub. That album takes me away to another place. 
How to Listen ??
Go pick up the book "The complete guide to high end audio". Awesome book that will help you learn the in's and out's of the audiophile universe. 
Your favorite blues album?
Lots of good stuff here so far. Keep'm coming. I have just started to listen to the blues masters collections. The harmonica classics, Vol 16 is outstanding. Bean

The speaker I have the most interest in is the Focas. Sean, have you ever worked on a pair of those before? I'm very curious. Lak, to answer your off the subject question, I am in the US Naval Submarine Force. Stationed in Groton, Ct. for the time... 
Where should the money go?
Ct, 3000 was maximum I wanted to even think about spending for an analog setup. To answer your questions, I will need to buy a Phono stage. As for new or used? It all depends on whats available. I wouldn't mind spending good money on say a used VP... 
Looking for alternative to Sonus Fabers
Might I recommend the B&W 805's. They're excellent in the mid's and high's and could be just what your looking for. They do lack a little in lower freq's (56htz) but should pair up nicely with your NHT subwoofer. I have a pair of these and lis... 
Speakers?
Thank you to whoever gave me the neagtive ratings. It's nice to know that after a long day at work I still need to think about my grammar when posting a follow up. If it wasn't all about the grammar I think you need to grow up. He asked the questi... 
Speakers?
If your on a Budget take a listen to the Energy Take 5, and the Definitive Technology ProCinema 100. Both under 1200 for the complete package. The Take 5 runs about 850 but I recommend to go with one of Energy's bigger subs. If you have a bigger b... 
Unusual Music Recommendation
I gotta go with any Tom Waits album, Alice in Chains Unplugged also worth a listen if you haven't heard it yet. 
Where s the bass?
Also keep in mind that Lower Freqs. have a longer wavelength, that allows them to travel farther away from your sweetspot.
