Speakers to mate with McIntosh gear
I have been very happy using Thiels with my McIntosh gear... My theater includes a pair of 7.2's powered by a MC 602 a MCS 1 powered by a MC 501 and a pair of scs3 powered by a MC 602 for a sub I am using a Velodyne HGS 15, Good luck on your quest... 
Static Shock?
A humidifier has saved me , the sharper image has one that is controled by a remote and keeps things stable ,plus I figure it is better for the morado veneer on my Thiel 7.2's , give it a try ! 
Audiophiles... Why Men? Any woman here?
Thank goodness they don't embrace our hobby, how many divorces would their be to get custody of our systems !!! 
Jackson Browne Solo Acoustic
I was lucky enough last year to have front row seats at Foxwoods for one of these shows, and yes he was terrific. I am looking forward to my copy of this cd I listened to the clips on his website and ordered one it should be here Friday I can't wait 
Power for Thiel 7.2
I can't say about your choices but I am using a McIntosh MC 602 and that has served me very well... My experience is that high current is as important as high wattage the speakers seem to open up at 200 watts or so but they need reserve to really ... 
How do you cope with dust build up ?
I use two of the Sharper Image models in a dedicated music room plus I bought extra cleaning grids that I alternate every week to keep them in tip-top performance , You will be amazed how much junk these things accumulate plus the are dead silent ... 
Do I need better center ch speaker-dialog unclear?
How is the speaker situated , My center channel improved quite a bit when I put it on a sound anchor stand that sits atop my Pioneer Elite RPTV. A speaker that sits on a TV will vibrate the tv at the same time at the expense of clarity. 
Top "covers"
I did not see anyone mention Joe Cocker he is a master of covers "With a little help from his friends " 
A big thanks to Thiel
I too am a big fan,,, They are without a doubt the finest in customer service, Shari is aces. I went to upgrade my Thiel CS-6's and thought of looking at or in this case listening to some competitors and could not bring myself to stray I went for ... 
sexiest sounding female vocalists?
Eleanor McEvoy , maybe it's my Irish heritage but she gives me goosebumps !!!

I have been all the way up the food chain with EAD from the Ovation to the Signature and then the Pro 8000 and now the Pro 8800 and they have treated me great, one of the reasons that the journey went so smoothly is they have reasonable value rete... 
Direct to the wall outlet or through PS Audio
I have been using high current Ultimate outlets on my amps ,purely for piece of mind it is a safe bet.Years ago my house took a lightning hit so I am a little gun shy so I try and protect gear that is plugged in all the time.My source gear was plu... 
Classe vs McIntosh
I have been very happy with the McIntosh / Thiel synergy I went from a Mc 300 to a Mc500 with my CS-6's and now finally the Mc 500 to the new Mc 602 with the 7.2's in all cases I was happy with the performance but also felt justified in the upgrad...
