a great blues album

I Hardly Listen to Music Anymore
On my way to work, I listen to talk radio, at work I have no music in my office (can't concetrate), on the way home, talk radio, at home... every chance I get, I play my system. In fact... today, I came home for lunch for a brief listening session... 
Looking for a speaker under $1000. used.
You must consider/audition GMA Europas (do a search here for "Europa"). They fit your description very well. They bested a pair of Totem Forests in my system. No doubt, you'll get many suggestions. 
VenHaus Pulsar™ interconnects
As I've posted on this thread a couple times, these Pulsars are special for all the reasons mentioned here. I'm going on 7 months now with mine and I'm glad to see positive press for Chris and his products.

Jazz for relaxation
I relax to a couple of CDs from Claude Bolling and Jean-Pierre Rampal named "Picnic Suite" and "Suite for Flute & Jazz Piano Trio No. 2". These are two terrific CDs full of flute and piano, just super melodies. Just go to Amazon and search for... 
Building Amp Stands
Following up on Stehno's suggestion... it would be cleaner look if you counterbored down from the top to recess the fastening nut to give a flush "finished" appearance from the top. Another option would be to do all the work from the bottom by dri...

You guys have given me quite a few leads. Perhaps most beneficial is the info on kplu.org music stream (thanks Celtic66!). I just hook up to them, put on the headphones while surfing and take notes on the various artists. The jazz they play is exa...

GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?
Matty,I know it's early, but how do you think the 50 watts drive your Europas at louder volumes? My room and amp are very sililar in size and power, I'm satisfied, but just wondering what your impressions are. 
Can the Totem Hawk Rock?
I have a little Totem experience as a former Totem Forest owner and having dealt with a super Totem dealer and meeting many other Totem speaker owners on Agon, I feel somewhat qualified to offer suggestions here. There definately is significant im... 
GMA Europa owners, what amps do you use?
When I went with Europas, my amp was a Pass x-250, sound was awesome. I wanted to downsize and take a bit of equity out of my system, so, I went with a Manley Labs Stingray (50w tube). Most won't believe me, but bass improved, soundstage opened up...
