| Billie or Ella? Maria or Renata? Technique or feeling? I'm a little late to the party...but The Ella "songbooks" are simply outstanding. She is so polished and oh the ease of her singing is enthralling to me. I saw her at Radio City Musical Hall and she was one of the few artists that had the audien... | |

| The Best Speakers in the World! In '76 and in Japan I purchased two pair of Bose 901 Series II, if you recall four channel was all the rage. Also got a Teac A-3340-S (4 channel) and two Sansui AU-20000(s) @ 170 watts a channel. Well, 680 watts into the Bose back in the day sou... | |

| The new dynamic in speaker pricing Friends and family thought I was nuts to buy $10,000 speakers in 1980. Yes, I still have them and still think it was totally worth it. That's a tad over $35k in 2022 dollars. Regards, barts | |
| The new dynamic in speaker pricing This (of course) speaks to my own persona....but I'm thinking if a person has $1M to spend just on speakers to flesh out the rest of the system is going to be several million if not many millions including software. And I doubt that is their last... | |
