| How Many Times Do You Have To Listen To Understand A Piece Of Music? Rap or hip-hop: about 15 seconds. Most contemporary pop/rock: first listen. Selected pop artists (mostly indie, e.g. Kate Bush): a couple of listens. Springsteen: ain't gonna happen in this lifetime. | |
| Why Do ~You~ Still Play CDs? I don't stream, and haven't listened to any of the hundreds of digital downloads I purchased a decade (or two?) ago in, well, about a decade. I like the experience of selecting physical media (LP, CD or whatever), and I've got more to listen to t... | |

| Help Deciding On New Speakers For Small Room, $10k budget Klipsch Forte IV; I am successfully using these In a similar size room, along with a REL S/510 sub. (Note: these are arranged asymmetrically to accommodate for furniture, etc.) | |
