A lot of the practitioners of so called "smooth jazz" rely heavily on a narrow range of cliches and are making sure that the Pat Boone/Michael Bolton syndrome stays alive in contemporary instrumental music. Fluff peddlers who have taken the easy p... | |
| Bedini 150 mk 11 Have a 100/100 mkII,(spare) may not be as good as the 1meg, but it's damn good. It laid to waste the Bryston stuff of the same generation. Did rich quality bass great, the Bryston was fuzzy/undefined and in the way by comparison. | |
