Ok, you and I listen to alot of the same stuff.

I'd go with either the Focal 165KRC's, or a set of MB Quart Reference speakers. Maybe the Premium's if you don't mind dropping the extra coin. Feed either set with a good amp and you'll hear notes and tones you didn't know were there. You'll also here all the background noise from the super old recordings...

I haven't found any "remastered" recordings of Stairway to Heaven or Freebird, but I'll let you know if I do...

Side note: If you don't mind dropping the extra coin, get the MB Quart Premium components. You'll never want to stop listening. Every tone, symbol, guitar string, everything is so clear. It's hard to put into words really, but it makes you appreciate the music that much more...
