| Tweeters That zaphaudio list is interesting. Zaph also did a test of ribbon type tweeters that concluded that they tested relatively poorly. A $29 vifa dome outperformed 4 out of 5 on paper. Cant remember what manufacturer I read recently using two domes t... | |

| Jethro Tull questions... Looking for decent (earlier) Tull recordings on CD, here I find myself having read all these posts. I have been a fan of the band since I was a teenager, saw them play the Aqualung tour. I consider Aqualung one of the great rock albums of all time... | |
