Best system for ROMANCE
IT WOULD 704!!!. CINDY, Are you? PROVE IT. Send me your picture off the line. 
Classe CD player CDP .3 a good value?
CDP .3 is one of the best CD player around in that price range. I have one and do not want anything else. I have Sony DVP-S7700(DVD/CD) and it is not even close to the cdp.3. 
Audio & the Emperor’s new clothes.
Joe_I think your subjective baseline numbers are little too low, although I agree with what you are saying. In my subjective view, a good 10K system can get you 60% to the reference and the 100K will get you 85%. You spend 50 K more and get closer... 
"Burn in" Are you serious?
We KNOW our system's sound: We KNOW how does the system sound compare with live sound, we KNOW where the shortcomings are and we also KNOW burn-in is for real.( Inside that is. Outside we might brag whatever) 
"Krell" is a buzzword
You HIT it on the nail Trelja! The word Krell brings lot of ' Sour grapes cases'. Mainly because there brand of neutralitiy is unlike any in Hi-end. The fact that they need careful matching of front and back components frustrates most. Most don't ... 
Best reviewers
I have to agree with Tubegroover. Corey Greenberg of Stereophile days had me LOL too. He was writing for Sound and Vision, but I don't see his article 'The High End' anymore. Any one know what happened to him? Although the SandV days Greenberg was...

Which Speaker in the 4-6K Range?
If you look past your list, look no further than the Dunlavy IV-A. They are everything you want and more. They do sonically disappear but visually..they are big. 
Why do digital cables sound different?
I have to say they DO sound different. I don't know why. They DO! I tried 4 different cheap to mid priced cable and they all sound diffrent. I am using the Music meter amd MIT T3 for DVD and CD player respectively. If you cant't tell any differenc...

Best system for ROMANCE
Jokes aside, What did you end up with Cindy? I myself got the idea from this thread and for my bedroom system for Romance I am settling on Vandersteen 2ce,Cary 300 SEI and Cary 301or 303 CD player. Interconnects /speaker wires will be all MIT or S... 
Your Listening chair
Let me clarify:A car like (retractable and relatively compact)head rest is no brainer, you have best of both worlds-support and nonintrusive to sound. I have not seen any chairs made with that kind. I am saying if the chair has high and wide back,...
