GE Triton 2+ or Focal Aria 936?
I think you're limiting yourself in making the choice between just those two.For instance, how about a Vandersteen III? 
What are the most used terms that say the least in the "High-End"?
Signature. 
Looking for input on CD players
Having owned the BCD-1 for many years and been very pleased with it (and with the excellent support from Mike and the crew at Bryston), I moved up to the BCD-3.  I like this new unit very much, but I don't love it.  It is very neutral, not ruthles... 
Is there a Solid State amp that can satisfy a SET guy?

How about Sim Moon audio.  More refined than Bryston. 
4 or 8 ohm connection for a 6 ohm speaker?
It makes sense to try the lower tap first, but there definitely have been cases of particular combinations of amp and speaker where the tap a little over the nominal impedance sounds better.  Of course, if you ever look at some measurements, nomin... 
Should people with no turntable or reel to reel be considered audiophiles?
Yes, but only if they have an 8-track instead. 
Classical Music for Aficionados
denizens of this thread:I'm feeling like another version of Beethoven 3.  I saw there was a recording by Barbirolli that looked rather tempting; anything else you would recommend?
