| What is the Best Sounding Stand Mount Speaker in the world? @stuartk You caught me. I meant to say Minima Amator ll. I very briefly heard them in a poor setting and they still sounded pretty good. I am going to demo some SF floor standers the end of next week, so I’m excited. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @stuartk I have never heard that Ginger Baker album before. It will definitely be on today’s playlist and I’m going to look for more! Thanks. | |
| Jazz for aficionados @acman3 Do you have any idea what the A B C scroll is on the bottom of the Wayne Shorter, Joy Ryder video? I’ve never seen it before. Thanks. | |

| Jazz for aficionados Hampton Hawes, For Real, was just remastered and is sounding good. Hawes is another one who was gone way to soon! | |
| Listening Room My current listening room is also our family room and the way I have it set up, I can push the speakers back three feet and it’s pretty safe to do family stuff in. | |
| What's in your CDP tonight? the minority report @ghosthouse The Sonus Farber rep came down with Covid, so we pushed it off for a couple of weeks. I’m interested in the Amati G5 and they want me to but they want me to buy Lilium. | |
| ADD or Audiophile? I used to dream about having the time to listen, to really listen to music. Now that I am retired and have more time, I find that I can’t sit that long anymore more.🙁 Ao a lot of my listening is almost background music, I’m sad to say. It’s not A... | |
| KEF LS50 Meta The LS50’ and the LS50 Metas are great speakers and your amps will drive them without issue. Like any speaker, you will need to fiddle with placement and unless you are using them as near field, you will probably want an subwoofer to go with them.... |
