End of the World system
There's always gonna be those few who have to throw in their kranky-krabby 2 cents worth.  That being said,  I would bring back as many monitors as I could, a decent integrated and a cd player (and cables).  I'll already have my CDs, I would hope.... 
New Yamaha integrated amps
I just got an A-S301 and couldn't be happier.  It is tubey, like someone above mentioned, very laid back.  If I ever need a bigger integrated for my main rig, i would definitely look into Yamaha's bigger options.

Yogi:  I've tried a much newer Denon and it came up short, man. No guts whatsoever. Really disappointed cuz i thought it would better the small Denon. 54:  I have the 590s and are perfectly happy with that set-up.  I'm looking for a match for my 5...

+1 JC.  had some fat ass monster cables maybe 25 yrs.  (the old cheapy ones with the clear jacket), then got some skinny ass Kimber PBJ.  no comparison.

How does this make sense, any sense? Any sense at all??
I try to post questions that will not only incite a few very different points of views ( we are a wild bund, after all ), but also some playful banter.  Having fun while learning is what it's all about, right? 
Shipping companies
Cake:  google "freight forwarders".   they all usually have a network of companies that they work with.  Whichever company you decide on, they can arrange door to door service, for a price, of course. Be prepared to pay a customs clearance fee as ...
