Wait for the new Oppo 205 ;) 
Interesting Magico news
Wilson use separate modules to isolate drivers from internal standing waves. Wilson Benesch use different design solutions depending on the model. The closest model in size/cost to the S5 Mk2 (Act One Evolution) uses a separate ported midrange/twe...

Tinnitus/speakers/headphones
George good point about leaving the room whilst burn in cd's are running George. I plan to run mine while i'm at work or out of the house. The pops and squeeks drive me crazy!  
Tinnitus/speakers/headphones

The Threshold S500 Series II Class A amps with optical bias were a popular choice, with ARC tubes driving the mid/tweeter panels.  
Small form factor CDP?
The Bel Canto CD2 is certainly has a small form factor, though that player recently went out of production. Some Dealers may still have stock though. Another player that comes to mind is the Ancient Lektor (Prime/Air).  
Your choice of the most "inert" cabinets ?

Bret D'Agostino passed away
Sad news. My Dealer carried his gear :(
