Classical music, symphony AND planar speakers
Reclusewhere in SE are you? I live in Ft Lauderdale. You’re welcome to come hear for yourself. I have owned Magnepan 3.5Rs, had a long in-home audition of MLs, also owned Accoustat 2+2s. Aside from the 2+2s the others simply lacked the foundation ... 
Pondering a change after 30 odd years...
What makes the 1 +1s so attractive is they are slim almost disappear, but Maggies are both wide and tall, they look more like doors  
Power Conditioners
To those who say PLCs don’t work, I say, you haven’t heard really good ones. Many that I have owned obscured the music; PS Audio Power Plant, Furman; my BPT was pretty good thoughI have a 20amp dedicated line to my system outlet, but still benefi... 
$1500 to spend...
Here you go. Looking at his pictures, the OEM jumpers SUCK. I replaced them with easy to terminate bulk OCC from WireWorld. Also, I moved the XOs off the base which vibrates like crazy. Additionally, no telling how he has them positioned, and ...

This is subjective, but what has been the best sounding SACD you have had?
When I upgraded my interconnects to WireWorld Series 8 all my SACDs and DSVD-As took a giant leap

Stick with OBsI hav =e heard 1+1s but 2+2s are a lot more dynamicI owned Accoustat 2+2s with both dual moded servo amps and 121 Cs with medallions, which allowed me to try different amps. I much preferred the servos, but back then full amp mods we... 
Has anyone ever tried cables made with OCC (Ohno Continuous Cast) Copper?
I added WireWorld OCC cables when I ordered my Emerald Physics KCIIs, which I replaced with EP 3.4s and replaced the speaker to outboard XOs to WW OCC jumpers, after a few weeks of listening to shitty supplied jumpers. No contestHTH 
Spatial Audio open baffle speakers, who has them? Worthwhile change from Maggies?
Uber, I have had my Emerald Physics 3.4s for about 4 months now. 3 days ago I increased the toe in less than 5*s and BAM. Im still in shock 
Utube reviews hit or misses accuracy
It’s amazing that Ron can differentiate anything as he continues to have a thick, no doubt lumpy, couch for his listening seat.  
Looking for recommendation for a 3 way book shelf speaker with very good bass.
Go to Underwood HiFiThey manufacture LSA (Living Audio Stereo) speakers that will fit your requirements and have won awards hth 
Wanting to get back into the hobby and want to start with the speakers.
As a reformed Magnepan 3.5R owner, they lacked bass. I added 2 SVS powered subs, but even with an active XO could not get a seamless blend. I now have Emerald Physics 3.4s (open baffle 12" concentric woofer with 1" polyester tweeter), which do eve... 
? on Pioneer CD players from the past, anyone still using one of these
Up until maybe 3 years ago, I had a PD 65 with extensive Musical Concepts mods (including an outboard PS), which I was using as a transport, but the laser finally died and no longer made.  I replaced it with a Marantz HD CD-1 but also use a Oppo 1...
