Best Floorstanding Speaker under $1000 USD
In addition ot all the above, they may be hard to find but a used pair of Ruark Talisman ll would be an excellent choice too.

Does "Non Compensated" Reviewing Still Exist?
I totally agree Buscis2. You hit it right on the head.I also subscribe to these two unmentionable "journals" along with a couple of the British ones, and, in addition, to several computer music and music production publications coming out of Brita... 
SS apm for Totem Mani -2
Mani 2 is also a challenging speaker to drive because it dips below 4 Ohms. Even a Bryston 3BST will be challenged; I auditioned these with my 4BST years ago and that amp couldn't light them up as well as a Mark Levinson 334 or a cj MF80.That's go... 
Why all these JC-1's for sale?
It would be interesting to know how many of the folks offering their amps up for sale: 1) actually home auditioned the JC-1s prior to purchase to see how they sounded in their system2) actually home auditioned the JC-1s prior to purchase to see ho...

Krell ksa-300s vs Pass Labs x-350

Krell ksa-300s vs Pass Labs x-350
And yet another thread for Krell bashers everywhere to rise up and be heard 
Are CD's made the same way?
There is a laquering/varnishing process that coats the metalized layer with about 30 microns of plastic to protect the information surface. And, not all CDs have a label e.g. 100th Window by Massive Attack. The foil layer is made by evaporation de... 
Music for "Tough Times"
Any Tiamat, Aggaloch, Stills, Miles Davis, Beethoven album 
Traffic "John Barleycorn Must Die" - Why no mfsl
Personally I stay away from Simply Vinyl. 
Best blues guitarist, Clapton or Green
Hendrix blew everybody out of the water and there hasn't been another since, though SRV came close. 
The Best Live album
Weather Report "8:30" Live album. C'mon folks Jaco was the man on bass. There has never been a cat who could play like that. He was the Hendrix, Davis, Coltrane of electric bass. Too bad about what happened to him though. So very sad.
