Anyone use CD tweaks
I spray on L'Art du Son CD/DVD Cleaner. Seems to work as advertised: more organic sound - removes etchiness. 
Better to change Speakers first or new Preamp+amp
Shadorne - What is a "good" room and how does one go about finding it? Hmm ... (answering my own question) perhaps you are suggesting he move his system to different rooms and listen/measure for optimal placement? Assuming he has more than one roo... 
First Plasma/LCD purchase ever - a few questions..
Thank you all for your ideas. Unfortunately, an unexpected cash crunch has postponed buying anything right now. I'm even considering down grading my awesome sounding 2-channel rig just to generate some cash for paying bills. A great amount of effo... 
Mystical Performances
Diana Krall - A Case of You from Live in Paris.Nina Simone - from Anthology: Ne Me Quitte Pas; I Loves You PorgyRory Block - sorry, cannot recall the song right now ... 
Jazz at the Pawn Shop...
Otherwise known (by me) as, "Jazz at the Yawn Shop". Stellar recorded, ho hum music. And I LOVE jazz. 
how much power do you need two drive magnpan1.6s
Eldartford ...I actually made some measurements while my MG1.6 was playing very very loud music.How did you do this? I would love to know what my speakers are demanding during my play. 
Miles Davis Newbe Question
I'd also recommend a live recording as well, such as, "In Person Friday and Saturday Nights at the Blackhawk, Complete". Great music, easily accessible, and terrific sonics.

Name your favorite sax solo.
Me (tenor) doing Pink Panther solo live, 1972, in front of 750 screaming high school twits. Man, I rocked. (I cannot say for sure whether they were screaming, a la Beatle-crazy fans, or screaming laughter. Maybe both? Likely not.) 
Sub users...
Take Five - one of my all-time favorite cuts! I have two 12", sealed subs (wired stereo) dialed in around 55Hz. No deleterious effects on this (or any) cut whatsoever. In fact, I detect beter (truer, deeper) tone and broader spaciousness with the ... 
other then bose what amp could drive
What are the specs please? 
running full range or not full range...huh?
Filters were from ACI. I plug them right into the power amp inputs, then plug my cables from the pre amp into them. Simple, easy, and cheap. Like Aldavis says, try it for yourself and determine if you like them or not. If you get them from ACI you... 
running full range or not full range...huh?
I hi-pass my mains (large monitors with integrated stands, making them appear as floorstanders) with 85Hz in-line passive filters which cleaned them up tremendously. And have stereo subs doing the LF work. Clean, full sound. 
whats the finest recorded cd you've heard?
Husk01, no. I don't know that one. This is titled "Sahib Shihab and the Danish Radio Jazz Group", on OKTAV, OKCD 1111. BTW, I also picked up Sahib's "Companionship - Jazz Joint, Vol. 2", on Schema/Rearward, RW 119. Also excellent music and sonics....
