| Neil Young One of my fav songs from the '70s is 'Lotta love' by Nicolette Larson---I didn't realize that Neil Young wrote the song until recently. | |
| How do I know if I need a sub woofer? I listen at low volumes late at night---if I want a little more bass, I use the loudness on my integrated. I will say that I did have a REL sub and sold it since I didn't use most of the time. But now I miss it. | |

| Best products and process to polish piano black KEF speakers I have piano black KEFs too and I use Meguiar's Quik Detailer spray from Advance Auto (or Amazon). I use it with a high quality microfiber cloth---works well. | |
