Ribbon speakers
You don't see a lot of speakers with ribbons these days. One company that does feature them is Selah Audio.

Just bought a new Jeep so that puts the car back ahead, the older sedan is about 50% of the stereo total. 
Great rock songs
"November Rain" - Guns N Roses"When the Crowds are Gone" - Savatage 
TDAC or Havana?

VTI audio rack, any good?

As system improves, do bad recordings sound worse?No, they sound exactly the same. The only difference is you can hear more of the "details" than you could with your boombox. 
Name your lame duck artist........
Taylor Swift can't sing, writing and performing is okay and her fans love her. Now winning a Grammy for vocal performance what a joke. Grammys have sold out now too. 
Buy LED, LCD or Plasma
Anyone know if Pioneer or someone else is going to supply parts for these TVs they no longer make? Not that many people actually repair electronics these days, but something to consider. Anyhow that Panasonic S1 is a good choice. Samsung and the o... 
Question for Canadian members
Riffer, it's not Canada Customs when shipping to the US, though the border crossing would be the main reason either way. 
best monitor speaker under $2000
Koven, so you audition every speaker on the planet before you buy one? Just go to the store audition what few they have and pick one? Or perhaps you actually do some research to see what fits your needs so you can narrow done your search? Regardle...
