speaker suggestions for modest arcam alpha system

The Beach Boys "Little Deuce Coupe" 
SACD hybrids bad policy from Sony/Columbia?
Yeah, and if you heard DVD-A on Meridian........ Most formats will sound spectacular on $10,000 equipment. I believe that realistic comparisons are made at more affordable levels. But like you said, as long it's enjoyable. 
SACD hybrids bad policy from Sony/Columbia?
