$3000 on Analog system - how to spread?
I suggest a galibier serac which should be out any day with a denon 103r. The total cost would be slightly under your $3000 limit. 
Best Speakers for Carey sixpacs
If you live in the NY?NJ tri state area you can come over and listen to my Merlin VSM speakers w/superbam with the Sixpacs (with and without the sub). For HT with subterranean bass I believe that you will want a sub -- I have a REL 150A wich integ... 
Best Speakers for Carey sixpacs
I suggest Merlins. There are several people on the 'gon and the asylum that have this combination and are very satisfied with them. 
ZYX Universe silver vs copper
Just wondering, would the same be true for the rest of the Zyx line in choosing between copper and silver? 
Full Range Speakers for a Small Listening Room
If you are comfortable going down to about 28 hz and no lower (w/o a subwoofer) the Merlin Vsm-MX's are terrific speakers and the manufacurer is invaluable as a resource, whether you buy his speakers or not. You should call him, really. The Merlin... 
Anyone compare Cary V12 amp to CJ MV60SE
I have heard both. I have Cary Sixpacs which are the less physically appealing Cary V12R's driving Merlin VSM- MX's and the combination is terrific. The Dynaudio's are great speakers too. The cary will have absolutly no problem driving your speake... 
Eggleston, Merlin, Jean Marie Reynaud????
I also want to say that I have heard the VAC Avatar Super and it is indeed super. 
Eggleston, Merlin, Jean Marie Reynaud????
I have heard the Fountaines and while they are a good speaker I would not call them a great speaker. I have not heard the Reynauds. I have Merlin VSM-MX's and I love them (as do many others on this forum). They have the esotar tweeter and do not h... 
help with a lush 50 watt+ amp
Great full sounding tube amp. 
Help with $6k - $7k amplifier setup
My amplifier set up is approximately the same price used, maybe a bit less. It's a Joule LA 150 (I have the phono section too) and Cary Sixpacs. The combination is extremely satisfying with a fullbodied and as well as detailed and organic sound. S... 
where to go to find these speakers of choice????
Another big vote for John at Audio Connection if you want Vandersteens. He's probably the most knowledgeable Vandersteen dealer in the country and a real nice guy who spins great music. 
speakers for VAC 30/30 amp
Merlin. Call Bobby (he's Canadian too!) and do searches on this forum, audioasylum and audioreview. 
Looking for All-a-round speaker $3k range
Run, don't walk to buy the Merlin's on audiogon (if you have heard the speaker). I have the MX's and love them. Another suggestion would be the Vandersteen 3A's. 
Merlin VSM-MM v. VSM-MX
I agree wholeheartedly with Mr. Bank. Call Bobby. 
New cd player-- or should I get SACD?
I agree with Pardales that you should get a modded player. I suggest a modwright sony ns999es with all the mods (see his website - which is slightly outdated.) which you should be able to pick up at your price point on audiogon. I would do your re...
