efficiant speaker with good bass?
I can make an arrangements but you would have to let me know a couple days in advance if you decide to do so. Gay live in Jersey about 20 min. from Manhattan. He also knows owners of Zu speakers very well ( he was working with them on the room dur... 
Vandersteen Quatro
In this case, your only logic option would be to go with Vandersteen 2 Sig.IIs . A lots of "audiogoners" have very positive comments about them. I think JR will probably give you a better insight to their sound characteristics & performance ev...

The best CD Player for the money
In my opinion Rega Apollo is a steal at $995. I did compare Rega to other similar CD players & more expensive ones (Creek CD50mk2, CONSONANCE- CD-120, CONSONANCE CD120 linear 16 bit 44.1kHz CD-player & more). In sub-$1000 it's going to be ...
