Thanks everyone. There are some great suggestions listed. I have already purchased two of the suggestions. Rivercitylad 
SACD?????
When you look at the numbers, it is hard to believe that SACD will make it into the mainstream. According to TAS there are about 100,000 serious audiophiles out there. There are at least 50 million cd players being used right now. It is hard to be... 
The best bookshelf speaker
Check out the Paradigm Active 20. It is an incredible speaker. Look at the reviews on Audioreview.com
