Looking to build the best possible system. $$ is no object.

...if loud is what you want, get yerself a guitar amplifier and plug that portable CDP (you may want one with an AM/FM tuner in such a case) into it...Downside is it will be mono, but I can promise you that a 60Watt instrument amp will blow away just about any puny, little hi-fi in the volume department...

You just don't get it. AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think, just by virtue of the fact that he posted this question here in The Steel Cage tells us something... I just don't know what it is. Like I said, he's trying to instigate something...

It's been boring here lately. We needed a little spice.

NOW TELL ME WHAT TO BUY!!!!!!!!

...I do get it...I'm just trying to be difficult in a passive/aggressive kinda' way...

However, you might want to consult with our erstwhile JBL expert, although he seems to have fallen off the face of the planet...

OR

$300 ?!?!?!...Cheeseball, you must have wax in your ears...What do you expect for that you boob?...Why it costs me more than that every time I bring my cables into the salon to have them re-cooked...The hand-crafted, wooden volume knob on my passive pre-amp cost more than that...I've spent more than that on capacitors when my crossovers were re-wired...I spent more than that having the directional wiring in my 3Wpc SET amp reoriented when the first "tech" installed them in the wrong direction...

What do you think this is, you Neanderthal...a poor man's game? Suitable for the near-deaf...I'd suggest you take up a new hobby, perhaps finger-painting...that would seem to be eminently suitable and befitting of your obviously limited abilities...and it should keep you quite entertained in a non-stressful way...Then of course, there's always a nice game, perhaps tiddly-winks or Chutes and Ladders, wouldn't that be nice for you? A nice, shiny wind-chime may be all the music you need...

I like this one the best.

I have 4 pair of speakers. The first set is crap but look great. The second set is crap but have cool blue drivers. The third set is really crap but have black face covers. The last pair are Sony, nuf said. Which ones sound the best to you?

...but only if you listen to the following:

Miles Davis...Kind Of Blue

John Mayall's Bluesbreakers

John Coltrane...Blue Train

The Grateful Dead...Blues For Allah

The Rolling Stones...Black And Blue...This one may also work on the third set...

Joni Mitchell...Blue

The soundtrack from The Blue Max

Gershwin...Rhapsody In Blue

Anything by Blue Cheer

Anything on Blue Note

Anything on Blue Thumb

Generally speaking, Pink Floyd is right out...
