Atlantic records 25th anniversary 'The Jazz years' 2 LP setNice jazz sampler!  Pretty good overall quality 
VANDERSTEEN model 2CE Signature...or ...SNELL Type D ?
The Type D where my first "audiophile" speaker years ago.  Still have them and they are in regular rotation.  For what I paid, probably the best purchase I have made yet.  Haven't heard the 2ce in my room but from what I remember they are a bit so...

sbank, thanks for the info.  Listening to Circles on Amazon right now.  Nice!  I do have Ghost is Born and agree it is well recorded.  Somewhat dark with good bass heft but very nice IMO.

Wilco - (the album)Frustratingly bad sounding right out of the sleeve.  Brand new perfect condition vinyl that sounds thin, harsh, and sibilant.  Definitely worse than the CD.  No life or "musicality",  Maybe a good scrubbing will help?  WTF!  And...

Help wanted spending money and improving my system.
Additional room treatment, specifically first reflection points.  You'll be amazed at the improvement.  I see you already have some DIY bass traps.  DIY if possible to save a few bucks.  I did years ago and was amazed.  Or, if you are just itching... 
Why the hate for mcintosh amps?
Where is the OP?  Like the bratty kid at the end of the block who would stick his tongue out at you and then run for his life.  Weird 
Any Vienna acoustics love out there? Anyone even still using them?
Hmmmm, yes I think the h360 probably would have done the trick.  That's what I am using on the Bachs right now.  Those 'the Music' look stunning.  Would love to hear them!

Just had another great session with the Bachs.  Again, the imaging is fantastic.  They will be staying downstairs for a while I think!  Amazing little speakers IMO.Thanks again 
Music Direct and my recent exoeriences
I did ask if they could do any better on an open box REL t9 last year and they flat out said no.  Too hot of a commodity I guess!  Should have just bought it for what they were asking!  LOL

MD has been great for me.  But, I live in Chicago so always pick up there.  If you do that they will save you a few bucks.  Tax and a little more.  Basically, what it costs them to ship I imagine.  They have a pretty extensive used vinyl area with...

Well now, there is a little love.  :-)Same as big greg that they are not my go-to anymore.  Really enjoying my LRS ride right now.  Two totally different flavors.  But I am having fun with the old Bach Grands.  So much so that I might look into on...

Bruford - Feels Good to MeJapanese pressing, sounds very nice.  Although Holdsworth seems somewhat muted compared to a digital copy.
