BEST SPEAKER THAT COMES TO LIFE AT LOW LISTENING LEVELS
I've heard MC Audio TL-12's at low volumes and they sounded excellent.  Worth a listen if you're near PA as they offer auditions.  
Recordings with BASS
Artist:  Terje Isungset Album: Winter Songs Song: Fading Sun  
question for SLP05 owners:
I don't remember it getting hot, but it was at least 15 years ago since I had the SLP-05 so take that with a grain of salt!  
Stereophile review of the new Wilson Watt/Puppy
I haven't read the review, nor have I heard the latest Watt/Puppy's but in true Audiogon fashion, it won't stop me from responding!  :) Maybe he's really trying to say is to stick to the high quality recordings, which are typically Jazz and Orche... 
question for SLP05 owners:
I had them stacked without issue for several years.

Audio Cables: All the Same?
I just received my new cables and the difference is not subtle.  Yes, I still have more optimizing to do but the cables were just bad!  Glad they're gone.  :)

Replacing Bryston 4BST for Aerial 10Ts
I had excellent results with Parasound JC1 mono's with my 10T's.  
Why I Sold My Aurender N200
Your ears are all that matter!  Merry Christmas!  
Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs?
CD's sound better than streamers in my experience, but streamers are far more convenient.  
Is the Rockport Avior II an Endgame Speaker?
They're end-game for me.  I love them and have no plans to change anytime soon.  If I won the lottery I'd move up the Rockport line. :)
