Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?
Audioman58, Well said, thanks! and good luck! 
Best rock bass player
Steve Harris and the Bass player from Dream Theater. 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Speaker wise, for me, it was Selah Audio speakers the Tempesta and Esatto, very well designed and sounding speakers. 
Best short-lived band?
Loverboy and Saga. 
Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?
I beg to differ, the warranty is important when spending several thousands of dollars. I purchased a Luxman D06 CD player from this site a few years ago, a fantastic player, the player stopped reading CDs it was then that I found out that the play... 
Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?
Buyer beware the Luxman's listed on EBay as well as Audio Cube are Gray Market players, not illegal to buy or sell, but are voided of any warranty offered by the US importer. 
Best Rock Album in 2013
Dream Theater's self tilted CD. 
Advice for new Integrated amp please.
Of the three you listed I had the Anthem 225 IA, it is a well made IA at it's price point and while I had it has a clean and detailed sound while driving my Paradigm Studio 40's. The Anthem can drive most any speaker rated at 8 ohms, but lacks eno... 
Does anyone know of a good 3-way bookshelf speaker
I also recommend Selah Audio, outstanding speakers that perform well beyond there price point and are wonderful to listen to. Owner's disclaimer I own two pairs and greatly enjoy them. Good luck in your search. 
Does anyone know of a good 3-way bookshelf speaker
I can attest to Selah Audio speakers, I own two pairs and think they are a great value for the money, they sound wonderful. And frankly are hard to beat. . . but beware, I am biased toward them. 
Best Speakers for 10' x 12' room?
I would also consider the Tempesta's from Selah Audio along with the good advise offered about the Dyn C1's and the Joseph Pulsars. 
What Product Did You Overspend On?
For me it was the Musical Fidelity M6 500i, an outstanding IA. . . in the store, but in my system it was terrible sounding. I was unable to single out the reason it performed so poorly in my system, but I did get rid of it. 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Another vote for Karen Carpenter as well, also Joan Osborne song 'What you are" and many of Martina McBride tunes. 
bookshelf speakers
Also consider Salk WOW 1 mini-monitor, a well built speaker that can sit on a bookshelf. 
What speakers should I consider around $5000?
I also agree the Dyns are a fantastic monitor, but they are expensive, as an alternative you should add to your list Selah Audio, like Vapor, Selah's speakers often hit way beyond there price point, and there is much more flexibility in driver con...
