What great speakers can buy direct?
As suggested in your other thread, give Selah Audio a look. Great speakers, with a wide range and options to choose from. 
Looking for "realistic" speakers
Checks out Selah Audio, very fine detailed speakers that won't break the bank. Rick uses Scan Speak drivers as well as may other, what ever you are looking for in a speaker he has something to fit the bill. 
Of all your gear, what piece impresses you most?
My comfy couch, so that I can sit back and enjoy all of my system and just take it in. . . who knew. Modwright KWI-200 w/ MW LS-100 PA. 
Hegel h300 or Modwrkw200 or Music Fidelity M6500i
Rsahd000Right now I have Wywires (Blue) between the KWI-200 and the LS-100, and Signal Cables (Silver) for source and speakers wires. The speakers are from Selah. 
Best Rock Drummers
Nicko McBrain of Maiden and of course Mike Portnoy of Dream Theater. . . both outstanding drummers. 
Hegel h300 or Modwrkw200 or Music Fidelity M6500i

Power conditioners around $500
Can't go wrong with the Furman Elite series, great value for the money. 
Bit of a dillema Simaudio.. UPGRADE hmmm
I would also agree with the above post, your electronics far surpass your speakers. Upgrade your speakers first then you can revisit your amps. The moon 600/700i are first class IA's I had the chance to listen to the 600i drive a pair of Dyn's C4'... 
Musical Fidelity m6 500i vs Mcintosh ma 7000
I had the M6-500i, and had a different result. The amp sounded great driving Dyn's C1's while doing the store demo, but with my then speakers (PMC) the amp sounded terrible. I suspect the amp does a great job driving less sensitive speakers with i... 
Silver cables
I too would recommend Signal Cable, very good cables that perform well and won't break the bank. 
Amplifier upgrade or speaker upgrade
+1 upgrade your amp, your speakers will perform better. 
Luxman DA-06 Dac...anyone?
Audioman58, Well said, thanks! and good luck! 
Best rock bass player
Steve Harris and the Bass player from Dream Theater. 
Equipment that has made you 'stop' looking?
Speaker wise, for me, it was Selah Audio speakers the Tempesta and Esatto, very well designed and sounding speakers. 
Best short-lived band?
Loverboy and Saga.
