| So, a reviewer just said something I need to talk about. So much is written about recreating the experience of having the music performers standing in front of you in your listening room. Perhaps this is possible for un-amplified voice and stringed instruments, but from my experiences in rock bands, thi... | |
| Favorite moment with music in your car. 1975. Riding in a 1970 Corvette on the center console, with my older brother and his friend, on the way to high school sports night. Ported, polished, blueprinted 454 engine, headers, dual quad carbs. Huge speedometer and tachometer gauges glaring... | |

| Are you interested in the new generation of "old school" design loudspeakers? I'll never forget my drum instructor's system which included KLH-5's, Marantz receiver, reel-to-reel tape machine and turntable. Playing Woodstock by CSN&Y at high volume. Playing along with the drum set. Those speakers were tight. | |
| How do you find time to enjoy your $$$ speakers and system? When my kids were at home I built a 5.2 Krell/Dunlavy home theater system which I also used for playing CD's in the "background" while the family was together. I work from home now, and built a NAD/JBL 2 channel rig in my home office which is used... |
