Warm Rich Lush Speakers...Recommendations?
Why would you want warm rich lush speakers? Is your system extremely sterile sounding? I've always found neutral sounding equipment a better foundation to build on. 
The best integrated amplifier
If you don't add Ayre to your audition list, you would be doing yourself a great disservice.

the best ''Best of'' Thread
I think my favorite best of thread was really a worst of, " your worst WAF incident". Hence this response. Poor fellow lost an icebox full of food and all his browny points, even worse the beer had likely gotten warm.
