Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
Cuke's right - Seconds Out is great album - it has something for both factions. It's a live set from concerts shortly after Gabriel left the band. It includes a monster liver version of Supper's Ready and other great PG erra songs - with Phil Coll... 
Looking for opinions of the B&K ST 125.2
I've had excellent experience with B&K products and their customer service. I own several pieces I'm using in various rooms. A vintage ST140 amp and CS117 pre, 2 AVP3090 processor preamps, and a AV5125 5 channel power amp. I bought one of the ... 
Best Genesis Album - your opinions please.
My top 3 would be Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, Foxtrot, Selling England by the Pound. Though Tresspass and Nursery Cryme are also hard to beat. I'm less fond of the post-Gabriel recordings, but it's still among my favorite bands. I would pick Wind ... 
Speakers to hang on to for LIFE
I bought a pair of Infinity Monitor IIa's when in college in 1975. I didn't find a burning need to "upgrade" until the foam surrounds in the woofers disintegrated in 2003. I then bought a pair of Totem Sttaf's. The Totems are fantastic, but I foun... 
Personal speaker evolution
Wharfedale W45's were my first (guess about $100 in 1972) - still have them but gutted the cabinets and rebuilt with with new Audax drivers/crossoverInfinity Monitor IIa's ($500 or so in 1975) - I still have them - they are all original and immac... 
How to replace the speaker grill cloth???
I've done a several grill cloth replacements - tried hot glue on one - not a good result; staple gun on one - easy but I didn't like the staples. The last few I used brush on contact cement - it's messy but worked well. It holds well and I was abl... 
Would Audiogoners be interested in this?

amp selection for multi ch AND bi-amp capablity
Malanl - I'm very interested in your comment on the Philips 6 channel amp - I bought a Pilips Model AV1002 off eBay. It looks as though it's the one described in your thread on 1/17/04. I didn't receive any manuals, spec's or anything like that. I... 
Best progressive acts these days?
thanks for the update on the Strawbs - I'll be looking for them live - hopefully they'll make it to D.C.. I'll also look for the latest cd release. 
Best progressive acts these days?
thanks - I just haven't seen any new recordings from the Strawbs, and what I've read about Caravan - they just aren't the same band - I have Battle of Hastings (1995) and though it's good, it's not in the same class as the 70's stuff. With Camel, ... 
Concert for George
Absolutely - this is a fantastic concert and an excellent production on DVD. It's a must - what an amazing line-up - and by the way, Harrison's songs!!! 
Blues /rock: music recommendations?
Boz Scaggs' first album - with Duane Allman - has a 13 minute jam track "Loan Me a Dime" with an extended guitar duel with Duane on lead. This album is one of my all time favorites. 
Best progressive acts these days?
The best still playing? Camel is still the best - saw them live this year, and "A Nod and a Wink" is excellent; King Crimson - their new release "Power to Believe" is the best in a while, Porcupine Tree - except I'm not that wild about "In Absenti...
