As usual, lots of great suggestions by some serious music lovers and audiophiles.  Here are my 3. (Only 3!?!??!!) 1. Everly Brothers. A Date With The Everly Brothers. (Well recorded. Touching and emotional. Country and Blues crossover to equal Ro...

Can anyone identify these speakers?

Magico's M9
I’ve been lucky enough to have heard the M9s.  If I had $750k to spare, I’d consider them. And I’d consider the Pillium monoblocks, too.   It was a wonderful experience listening to such a fine system in a dedicated listening room. Having seen how... 
Source For Styrofoam Packing Inserts
I’ve shipped heavy speakers around the world. No issues, thank goodness.  I buy 2” styrofoam foam from H Depot and cut to fit.   Ain’t Nothing Like The Real Thing- but it works in many situations.  Good luck.

What a wonderful experience.  Keep on keeping on!  
Advice on how to liquidate system
