Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900
Certainly not a fan boy of any brand. Dont even own a Luxman Amp...never have. I do have a Luxman CD Player and a Pre-Amp...both of which are still in the boxes I received them in and have never been used. Since your reading comprehension skills a... 
Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900
Ive been told by a couple of people that have tried both that the Soulution sounds "Sterile" as compared to the Luxman.  Guess you need to hear for yourself. 
Which stereo amp to try under $30k
Mr Decibal,WC cant say anything negative about the Merrill's as they sent them to him for an audition free of charge. You have to factor that in. He would be screwed if he said anything bad about them. 
Klipsch, introduces The Cornwall IV, and I think it will be a killer !
WOLF,Steve Guttenberg did a review of them compared to the Forte 3 on his Youtube page (The Audiophiliac) 
Best speakers 5k 10 k
Charney Speakers look like they were made in a High School Wood Shop. Dont care how great they sound cause I would have to cover them with a sheet to avoid embarrassment.

Any monitors clearly better than Pulsars?
Ive read about people DITCHING their Pulsar's (Upgraded Graphene version) because they now have TOO MUCH bass for smaller rooms. Go figure 
New Joseph Audio Pulsar Graphene 2
Pretty funny coming from the Master of Negativity!!  Thanks for the laugh 
High efficiency monitors for SET amp in small room - budget 2.5k
Curious OP....What is your room size that the SHL5 isn't performing to your satisfaction? Was thinking of buying a pair for my 13x15 room. Your info would be helpful before I take the plunge. 
How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?
Total BS. I can go to my local Mac Dealer 10 minutes away and get at least 20% off any gear I want. I always got 20% off at OVERTURE in Delaware on all my previous Mac gear (452, C52 etc)...and No sales tax to boot. No other products were purchase... 
How much discount typically for a new MC275 to expect from a dealer?
Its obvious to me that many people here are totally ignorant in the art of wheeling and dealing. I always get 20-30% off everything depending on the brand. I would NEVER buy anything at Zero - 15% off MSRP. Do your homework, get quotes from variou... 
I'm thinking about purchasing a Luxman D-08 SACD/CD Player
I'll bet anybody they aren't going to offer 3 new CD/SACD Players at different levels. Some people might wish they had picked up the 05/06 when they are still available and affordable. 
I'm thinking about purchasing a Luxman D-08 SACD/CD Player
None of these models are being made any longer so if your going to buy a NEW one you better make up your mind and grab one now while supplies last. 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
 I found the review refreshing because over 95% of the reviews I read on equipment rarely ever cite music that I listen to. Its almost always Classical, Jazz, female vocals etc and that's not up my alley. This reviewers song selections I know quit... 
Horn Speaker Recommendations
Providing the big hall sound does mean a tradeoff. Pinpoint imaging is sacrificed along with the single position ultimate sweet spot. Instead, several listeners get to enjoy the concert sound. So don’t worry about moving about the room or tilting ...
