Does Verity Parsifals mate well with solid?
Sirspeedy: Nearfield listening in a small space, how about the Ultimate Monitors by Audio Machina? Sealed box design should also present less room problems. Also he should consider the Acapella Fidelio II's. 
musical drummers...who are they ???

Best MONITORS availables

Sailboats and Audio
Figuratively I am in the same boat as you, albeit with a 36 foot pilothouse trawler that I took delivery on two months ago. The 120 volt system would be fine for shorepower applications, but is too inefficient electrically to use with an inverter.... 
Difficult Choice
Hey Hooper, I don't doubt that the EMM Labs stuff is great, but I also suspect that the Reimyo you listened to was not broken in or had some odd PC interface. Me, I had the 15 second audition and stone cold new out of the box, I sent my Accuphase ... 
Reimyo CDP vs EMM Labs/Meitner
Paraphrasing Dgad's experience(and that of others), the Reimyo CDP-777 is superior with respect to redbook presentation in any apples to apples face-off between the two playback systems. 
Anyone try APC's conditioner?
