Speakers for Dance music and other
I'm with Mechans on this; Klipsch LaScala or Klipschorns, and a Mac MC275 amp. That will rock the neighborhood. Put in an SVS Ultra, Sunfire, or Definitive Tech Reference sub and man, that will be a blast. "Party on Wayne""Party on Garth" 
Pass XA60.5's or Cary CAD 500 MB for Maggie 1.7?
I do love my Cary's, but....I think Pass Labs makes about the best sounding amps there are period. With almost any speaker.That said, for the 1.7's I would look at the new Sanders Sound (or an Innersound ESL 300 if you can find one). I had an Inne... 
Pass vs. Bryston with MG3.6´s?
I love Bryston's with Maggies, but..... nothing sounds better with Maggies, or almost any speaker, than Pass Labs.Possibly the best amps built.

lift the arm off the spindal, and there is a well area where the spindal sits. You add it in there. 
What's the cost of an entry level vinyl setup?
I disagree with the really high $$ that are being bandied about here. That's just crazy.You can get into vinyl, entry level for about $500 - 700 bucks and see if you like it, and get a very good idea of how the sound compares to digital.

When does analog compete with digital?
Cajun P, best college football game I have ever been to:Auburn vs Alabama in the mid '90's. Great fans, great stadium, great rivalry, great sporting event. Very tough tickets to get, too.
