Open baffle speakers
@mijostyn, every speaker I’ve posted was an open baffle speaker. The problem is I’ve heard each speaker in small rooms, mid sized rooms, and large rooms. Each speaker performed like no other. The disadvantage you have is, you haven’t heard these s...

But you don’t need a subwoofer with 2 15” subs in the lower half of an OB speaker. How much bass does one need? I’ll tell you what, the most natural, the tightest bass I ever heard from a speaker was from an OB speaker. It’s as if the jazz bassist... 
Pianos
As a jazz pianist I’ve owned several. Bosendorfer, made in Germany, is the most expensive piano ever made. For a high quality piano and something affordable I’d recommend a Yamaha C series. This is a piano that’s in most jazz clubs. The Yamaha C3 ...

Recommendations for 20 amp electrical outlets
I had 2 20 amp circuits put in 15 years ago. Best investment I ever made. The gift that keeps on giving!  
The Rapid Rise (& Fall) of the CD

Electrostatics and tubes
I’ve owned 10 different types of Martin Logan’s for 32 years. From 3 different sets of CLSiiz’s to Summitt X’s. The story of current ML’s being inefficient is tied to the fact they were 20 years ago. Not anymore. So buy your 9’s and simply enjoy t...
