Most sophisticated and intelligent musician
Bryan Ferry, Beck, Chris Difford and Glenn Tillbrook. 
Audiolab, Rowland integrated - nothing in between?
What about Exposure or Sugden? 
Can the Harbeth 40.1's boggie ?????
The answer is yes,yes,YES!I auditioned about six of my favorite CDs with them, including Live Cream, and other rowdy stuff, and for sure they are bold as you please with rock. Very special, and I wish I owned them. 
What if you designed your ultimate speaker?
I don't pretend to have even a small percentage of your (apparent) technical knowlege of speaker design theory or acoustics. What I was thinking though is that maybe the lack of interest in your first thread, and maybe this one (we'll see) is beca... 
The best speaker you ever heard?
Very true Mcgarick. I owned the TDL Monitor for years, bought them again recently, but sold them because they were not compatible with my current listening room. Still, they were and are a very good speaker. 
Great Music/Bad Vinyl - 2010 Edition
I am really glad to hear Xiekitchen point out Close to the Edge as a terrible CD transfer. I used to enjoy listening to it on LP. The CD is without exaggeration unlistenable. Once every couple of years , I think to myself, it couldn't be that bad ...

shindo pre-amp and power amp reliabilty
Lowens,How many years ago was that? 
Sorbothane pucks for verity audio parsifal encores
Instead of using that material, you might explore the Star Technologies Sistrum stands. They are amazingly effective in allowing your speakers to perform at their best-no hype. 
Wilson Audio- The rest of the story
Since you are so pleased with your dealer's service, you would probably do them a favor by mentioning their name. 
Favorite Pianists
Oscar Peterson; just brilliant, and he covered many styles and moods. The "Genius" word is used and often abused; but it is properly used in describing him. 
Music you HATE the most but once you LOVED it
First thing that comes to mind is the Cat Stevens album "Tea for the Tillerman". At the time when it came out, I thought that it was so great; now I think that it's incredibly trite. I think he was just pandering to a certain audience at the time,... 
Denon's 100th anniversary
Thanks Mofi, it does look very nice...
