What should I buy for Dulcets/Harbeth
You mention tubes. Are you looking for amp suggestions for these speakers? 
Speakers for Musical Fidelity M3i
Hi Kushanava,I used my x-12s with both an M3i and and A3 pre and power setup I have.I did not find them bright. Mine were primarily used in a damped room. My room is an extra bedroom that is more of a library, with wall to wall carpet and bookshel... 
Cables more hype than value?
I can't comment on the value of high priced cables because my money would be better spent buying better gear, but I suspect they can tweak sound one way or the other. In my mid-fi priced system, 12/2 Romex unterminated sounds good. Easy to find to... 
ATC SCM11 vs Monitor Audio Gold Reference 60
I haven't heard the MA GR60, so I can't help there. I do own a pair of ATC SCM-11s, so maybe I can help some. The ATCs are great speakers, but I share Lindisfarne's reservation about the power the Onkyo can provide. It's a heavy receiver though, s... 
What is Musicality?
Sabai - thanks for the tip. 
First favorite tune
Probably something from the Andy Williams Christmas album. My mom says I toddled around singing almost everything on it and if she played something else I'd drive her nuts asking her to put on "Andy Wuwwums."I still like that album. 
Speakers for Musical Fidelity M3i

Melody Pure Black 101 Line Preamp
Wow, I got engrossed in your review Phil. A professional review online had me interested in the Melody Pure Black 101, but I honestly think you covered more ground than the professional reviewer. I appreciated the effort you put in detailing your ... 
What is Musicality?
I'm with Elescher: pace, rhythm, timing and tone/timbre. If it sounds right and gets my toes tapping, the first word out of my mouth would probably be "musical."If something sounds "real" AND "musical," it's either someone else's or I've stumbled ... 
$$$ vs music enjoyment
Loved your post Mrmb! 
Cured of upgraditis?
Sweet! Enjoy! 
Audio Equipment... the word Cool... and Life
I think that beyond high school, one must ask oneself: Are you as cool as Steve Hoffman? Can I irradiate and beguile others with my magical forum? If the answer is no, then, well...Oh and one more thing to remember, the next time you see a school ... 
What country still has music?
All of them I think. There's lots of interesting stuff out there now. I don't know if there is a Bach or a Mozart toiling away outside the top 20, but if there is, he can get to us via the internet now if the big production houses turn him away. W... 
Who is Harry Nillson
Don't go near his forum! Oh wait, that's Steve Hoffman. 
Redgum RGi120ENR integrated ?
Sounds like you need to tell us about them when you get them! I'd love to hear it! I've only read about them. They sound like fun amps.
