| An audiophilic music lovers Christmas! From my wife, the new set of six remastered Stan Rogers albums. Rogers was as close to genius as a folk singer can get--the Canadian Woody Guthrie. A Happy Christmas! | |
| The awakening... My second set of speakers were Klipsch Cornwalls salvaged from a movie theater, and so no veneer, just black paint. I drove them with a 5wpc car stereo/cassette player and they sounded great! But today my system is much better in every way, and st... | |
