If you could have only one Christmas album/CD, which one?
One Christmas CD?  Its gotta be "Christmas with Dino"  by Dean Martin. Just the kind of music to have a martini.Another vote for Vince Guaraldi Trio " A Charlie Brown Christmas"Try  "Christmas Island" by Leon Redbone for fun. 
Help me discover some new music...
I have been listening recently to The Devin Townsend Project album "Ghost", a nice change of pace and also Jan Hammer's "Miami Vice The Complete Collection. Both are in my opinion very good.

Bah Humbug-Bad Christmas Music
Mapman, that catchy Hawaiian tune that you might like is called "Mele Kalikimaka" and was done by Bing Crosby and the Andrews Sisters in 1950. Another cover was done by Bette Midler and is very good too!

Most involving and thrilling moviemusic?
If you are old school, you may enjoy the soundtrack to "Ben-Hur, A Tale of the Christ" beautifully composed by Miklos Rozsa. It may get a little tedious with the Roman Galley music but classics like the memorable "Panem et Circenses", "Victory Par...

Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
My recommendation would be "Autumn Thunder, 40 years of NFL Music". If you are a fan of NFL Films music, this is for you! It has a collection of 10 CDs with some of the greatest music written for football (maybe ever!). Some of the best selection... 
Anyone here using vintage speakers?
I have been using Ohm Walsh 4s since 1984 and they have served me well. There may be better speakers on the market,but I have never had the upgrade bug with them, and they look unique with their trapezoid look. Just recently, I have had them upgra...
