Thanks, Jeff, but I don't have an old receiver or a pair of old speakers
so I'm looking for the "latest and greatest" computer-oriented system.

Nor am I looking to "shake the walls" but just want a good, accurate set
of speakers to reproduce the music as it should be heard.

I don't particularly care what it costs.  I just want a system that will
accurately reproduce Bach's Mass in B minor and U2's "Pride (in the Name
of Love)" in such a way as I can enjoy them as they ought be enjoyed.

Cheers!
