Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Jax2, Now you've done it - wasn't it a pic of Michelle Pfieffer without makeup last time? I wonder who it will be this time!

Bond - absolutely awesome - I don't care if they don't sing, I still get bumps ;-) 
What piece of music can you play over & over?
The Lamb Lies Down On Broadway - Genesis Good one 
Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim?
They are good. Warm and delicious sounding - great midrange. I think you would only be disappointed if you expected them too play loudly or that they would give you last word in bass response and dynamic attack. Like many BBC designs they have a p... 
How can you not have multichannel system
I remain fearful of where my subwoofer ear will grow. Eldartford,I broke out into such a paroxysm of laughter with your comments that my subwoofer ear started making embarrassing noises. 
Jitter reduction, best device?
so I suspect it was some artifact resulting from the Denon's DAC. It can often be subtle but everyone agrees that DAC's do sound different. Whether this is the effect of jitter reduction or simply the result of a different output stage (tubed) or... 
Jitter reduction, best device?
Mapman,It sounds like you may be hearing beat frequencies. This is a subtle effect that could come from a number of things - including your room setup and/or listening position. It is, as you say, nearly impossible to be conclusive that any specif...

Expand your listening tastes and buy speakers that can play all types of music. =8^) I first thought my JBLs were king, no other speakers in the world can beat it. Oh boy, how much I was wrong. Oldrockstar knows what he wants and explained what ... 
Subwoofer beginner question?
Yes but makes sure it is low Q. Since most manufacturers do not publish this then simply go large sub sealed box - since ports resonate you should advoid them as it will add volume without the transient dynamic pressure you seek. (think of a port ...

I'd check out Westlake BBSM 12 - these will have you smiling and rocking out - used around $3K. 
Musicians?
FWIW - it just so happens that on this very page right now - there are comments on four systems all with Evolution Acoustics MM3's. I haven't heard one yet but I 'd hazard a guess that drums sound pretty good on them (they have what it takes...)! 
Musicians?
My axe is a 1927 Luigi Mozzani. I've never heard a music reproduction system capable of producing the actual timbre, depth, power and lush sound of a violin. There is a good explantion about this problem from Dr. Floyd Toole in his recent book ab... 
Musicians?
I have yet to find a system (that I can afford) that reproduces drums with the visceral impact of the real thing That is quite normal with consumer speakers. You really need to look into pro main monitors. The kind of speakers you see built into ...
