If he's a musician/bass player, he will most likely be happier with pro-audio equipment for home studios. Start with a mixing board with about 12 channels, and a pair of active/powered pro studio monitors so you won't have to worry about a power a... 
Poll...Ayre V3 versus Pass Labs X250.....
Or.. who's hotter.. Jennifer Aniston or Angelina Jolie?! 
Should I trust movers with my equipment?
If you want something done right.. do it yourself. That's what I've always heard. 
Suddenly, Porcupine Tree
PT is cool - I enjoy them a lot. If you wanna hear more prog - check out Spock's Beard. Their latest album, Brief Nocturnes and Dreamless Sleep, is their best work ever, IMO. You'll love their stuff if you grew up listing to progressive rock music... 
So what would you recommend for my next upgrade?
Dancub - just curious, but I'm interested to know if your amp drives your speakers with ease or if the B-60 is being challenged with a little workout by the Thiel's. The Bryston B-60 is a little power house, but the 1.5's (if I'm not mistaken) wit... 
Life after ADS
Check out Aerial.. you might like how they sound if you like ADS. Aerial is owned and designed by Michael Kelly, who for years used be Executive VP of R&D and manufacturing for ADS. Just a thought. 
So what would you recommend for my next upgrade?
I really like your system, but I think it could use some warmth.. A tube phono preamp should get you a little of that. Try researching something used from Audio Research, Conrad Johnson, EAR, Quicksilver, Jolida. With your system I think you'll re... 
So what would you recommend for my next upgrade?
With all that vinyl, getting a record cleaning machine should be a priority. Next.. a tube phono pre would be nice in your system. 
Amplifiers:A Keeper for Life. Do you know of one ?
I still have my Threshold T-100 amp and T3i pre, purchased new in '97, and T-200 amp, purchased used in '04. They're here to stay, but would love to have a tube intergrate on the side some day just for fun. 
Need advice on rich sounding cables

Vienna Acoustics Haydn Grand or Totem Rokk?
The VA Hayden Grand does acoustic music very well, and yes, they are polite. To me they sound great when fed with high current SS electronics, with cables that are on the neutral side. If you're using tube amplification you may want to consider no... 
RIP Amar Bose
Back in '77 a friend of mine purchased a new pair of 301's, along with a 45w/ch Technics/by Panasonic receiver and a B&O turntable. I enjoyed those 301's a lot - drinking beer, smoking and listing to Brian Auger's Oblivion Express double live ...

Aerial Acoustics vs. Joseph Audio
Tricky Dick could play the hell out of a piano, too! 
can you give me some info on these amps....
Yes, the Threshold T-100 is a true/pure class A amp, delivering 60w/ch into 8ohms. It will also double that (120w/ch) into 4ohms. The T-100 is a high current design amp, and can handle most inefficient speakers that will dip down to 2ohms. It can ...
