I think this has already been asked other places but I thought it would fit just fine in here. Does anyone know of some bookshelf speakers that have a similar sound to Grados? I bet its a stretch, but if they're out there then I want 'em.

Yes.  I think I've owned something quite close that can provide the detail that the Grados do and still provide you with a lot of class in a bookshelf speaker.  The Usher S-520.  The pair I owned was finished in cherry veneer and were beautiful to look at - and, listen to.  I sold them only because they were in my bedroom and didn't get much use.  Instead, I put the money into more headphones and accessories.

I think I'm a true Grado fan now.  I've even modded my car with a custom license plate frame.  I just got it in the mail today and installed it this evening.

Here are a couple of photos of some floor-installed custom air conditioner vents at one of my client's homes. 
 
The HVAC tech surely must have been inspired by a pair of GS1000's!

Uh...what's the name and number of the HVAC company?
 
Nevermind...bilavideo is doing "wood surgery" to my plastic MS1's!
 
(You know it's getting bad when you look at those vents and truly wonder how they would/wood sound...)

Hmmm, if someone has a convertible- maybe  "My Grados are open-air too."

When Grado rules the world, the naysayers will no longer be heard. I look forward to that blessed day, Brethren, when we can cast the Sennheiser blasphemers from the temple ! The unholy alliance between Sennheiser, Skullcandy and Monster really needs to be purged, my brothers, and I think we have the shock troops to do exactly that. They can run, but they cant hide from our sonic magnificence !

Relax, UE, I view you more as a Catholic views an Anglican than as a heretic from the bowels of hell. Oh, wait ....
