$50k - $80k Budget…Opinions please.
Here we go again. Another insufferable brand name basher. One reason I don't post very often is this. Then you take it a step further by comparing the gear you have trashed by comparing to another that on average cost 2 or 3 times more. I don't su... 
Whats playing on your system today?
Sorry to be so unkind, Julie. Rachmaninoff and Mahler are romantic period classical composers from Russia an and Germany repectively. American Chick Corea's base genre was jazz from which he expanded into jazz rock and classical fusion. A remarkab...
