@robeswiThanks for the information!I’m going to build a dual mono set.  The stereo version sounds great with a small wide band monitor I designed and built.  I think a dual mono set driving a pair of 8” wide band speakers in a larger room will be ...

Goodbye iTunes for Mac
@sfar @saeyedoc Yes, you are totally correct, the Apple Music service ruined a lot of iTunes libraries.  Same goes for iTunes Match/iCloud Music Library.  As much as I enjoy the Apple Music service, it was a frustrating time when it was first rele...
