Not to take this thread off topic but for all you Pink Floyd fans (and if you can't get to see either Gilmore or Waters in concert) there is a band called Brit Floyd presently touring across the country who are absolutely awesome! I saw them in Atlantic City in the spring and then a couple of weeks ago in San Diego and they were incredible. They are of course a tribute band but they are all extremely talented musicians who play the hell out of each PF song. If they are in your area, and if you have the chance, you will not regret getting tickets and seeing them!

It seemed that advent minis($10 at goodwill stores) powered with Pioneer SX 626 did a-bit better job in imaging than Talon Khorus and imaging is very important for Pink Floyd. |
For the seminal albums, Dark Side of the Moon and Wish You Were here, you need the 5.1 SACD mixes and a Vandersteen surround system (Quatro Woods, VCC-5, VSM-1, subwoofers of your choice - I like the Audiokinesis SWARM). Of course, for the stereo recordings a good set of headphones and an appropriated-stuffed Jib-Jab constructed hooter work just fine ! |
DSOM 5.1 and WYWH 5.1 SACD were mixed and mastered on ATC speakers by James Guthrie. Same gear that David Gilmour has used for for more than two decades http://www.pinkfloydz.com/other-exhibits/rocky-mountain-audio-fest/ |
