"Cable Solutions...perfectly shielded digital coaxial cables made for you. These can be used on all analogue signal runs"
Just to clarify, are you recommending using their coaxial shielded digital cable for analog signal transfer?
I agree with your general statement about starting out with the best speakers one can afford (as high as 65-70% of the budget). I did not think a CD player could make much difference, except recently, but this could be colored by my expectations and psychological bias.
I have recently asked Alan at Axiom about biamping M80s and his response was very similar to that from johnk; i.e., need for active external cross-over and likely no audible improvement. He added that large, concert venues with multi-driver arrays were a different situation where multi-amping with carefully set active cross-overs would make a lot of difference.
