Christmas Music and Audiophiles?
Christina Aguilera's Christmas CD, Mariah Carey's Christmas CD and Rosemary Clooney's Christmas CD. These are the best of the best Christmas albums and the best that these ladies have to offer. 
SACD's to avoid due to poor remastering.

Nearfield speakers for rock/amplified music?
