 It seems that our bedroom rigs are outsurpasing top notch living room rigs of 5 years ago.

Sorry for the OT but what amp did you end up getting for the MMGs?

BadassBob, your DIY amp looks fantastic! The speakers look really nice as well, what are those small cones around the centre-plug? Are they there because this is a full-range driver?

Those are whizzer cones...basically the "tweeter"of a full-range driver.  Mine are 8" Fostex FE207Es, the whizzer really helps with the higher frequency extension.  These dont go very high...Id say they run out of steam about 16KHz...but thats fine by me, as my hearing runs out pretty close to that anyway LOL.

I have upgrade my bedside rig to the point where I think it qualifies as a high-end headphone rig:
 

That's nice, Skylab!  But is there a DAC in that dock?  Because can't imagine an iPod lineout is doing that rig any favors.

It's a Red Wine Audio iMod running through a ALO VCap dock. The sound is generally pretty good, easily as good as DACs I have heard in the $500-700 range.  Is it absolutely ideal? No.  But there is no room for a full digital source in that rig.  There are limits to my wife's understanding

Could you upgrade the Source and the wife.  Newer ones have lower jitter and stuff.

I'm ordering an Emotiva XPA-2. It was more than I wanted to spend, but it has oodles of power for the price.

Good one.
 
Although there's no guarantee that a newer wife model would have less jitter. After 35, there's a good chance that you're going to get a used model, nothing "new in box".
There will be plenty of burn-in, and she's probably blown a fuse or 2 depending on her original pairing. Getting less jitter after 35 is usually going to be a one-off, and you gotta wonder why she hasn't gone through many years of loyal service, yet, unless she's a rebuild 

 who comes with a transferable lifetime warranty.
 
Botox, Magnavox, probably all from the Haman Kardon group.

You could always go for certified pre-owned or refurbished complete with warranty.

ELP lyrics:
 
"He had white Horses
And ladies by the score
All dressed in satin
And waiting by the door

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

White lace and feathers
They made up his bed
A gold covered mattress
On which he was led

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

He went to fight wars
For his country and his king
Of his honor and his glory
The people would sing

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was

A bullet had found him
His blood ran as he cried
No money could save him
So he laid down and he died

Ooooh, what a lucky man he was
Ooooh, what a lucky man he was"
 
We like it tight immtbiker,you have a good woman.
May the bullet continue to pass us all by...
 
Happy New Year!
