The current best band in the world?
For me, the best band of today remains "The Beatles." 48 years after they broke up, their music is as relevant today as it was then. Moreover, even on their absolute worst day of playing, they are better than any other band on its best day. No oth... 
What's your favorite lyric from a song?

Subwoofer recommendation for Dynaudio Confidence C4
Try a JL Audio e110 or e112. Great subs. 
New Amp = New Speakers (Again)

Although the United Federation of Planets has done something similar with its transporters, I have little confidence that the same is possible with reassembling musical matter.

@jafant ... Sorry, but I have no duplicates or spares. If you want really good GD '74, I recommend the GD Movie Soundtrack ... 5 discs of great performances (except of course for Donna), for about $30 on Amazon. 
What makes a speaker sound great at low volume?
Crossovers are the most ignored, but most important consideration, IMHO. I recently went through the same process you’re going through now. I ended up with the 2 way Joseph Audio Pulsars, which provide everything I need ... great crossover (a Moda...

@jafant ... My favorite period is GD ’71-74. The only downside is that they had Donna during some of that period ... the band needed her like Jerry needed more sugar in his diet. The new PNW discs are very cool. However, I bought the 3 CD sampler ...

@rar1 ... After some research, I'm concerned that a lens cleaner will do more harm than good, particularly to the MF itself. I'm gonna try the suggestion of burning a copy of the offending CD and then playing it in the MF. If that works, then miss...

@jafant ... Good idea! Thanks. Although, if it were a mfg defect, I don't think it would have worked in the car and the computer.

@jafant ... the other GD HDCD encoded discs play just fine. It's just this one disc that's the problem, AND it's got a great version of "Big Railroad Blues" from '71 for Heaven's sake. Geeze, I can't catch a break. 
Contemplating DEVORE SPEAKERS (and others)....LONG audition report of many speakers
Just to chime in here ... there is a "house sound" that should be considered in comparing speakers. I think in the long run, that's the major criterion on which to focus. I've heard most all of the Josephs, and the house sound for them is a bit on...
