Greatest Songwriter of all time
Redwood . . .Your criteria points to Paul McCartney as much as anyone, doesn't it? Paul was definitely good, but most of his post-Beatles stuff was a bit too bubble-gumish for me.This brings up another interesting topic. What happens to some songw...

Audiogon "RECORDINGS TO DIE FOR" list
1.) All Steely Dan - Donald has never cut a mediocre album.2.) Peter Frampton - Comes Alive.3.) Peter Frampton - Live In Detroit. If you like "Comes Alive", you'll love this one. Peter just can't seem to make a great studio album. Where's Alan Par... 
I've become a Steely Dan junky . . . . .
Yes, I've got all of their solo albums too.Glen, I've got every Sting and Police album also. Must be the style I'm hooked on.I can't help but wonder what other less known acts are out there. Maybe all this means I could easily get hooked on pure j... 
Speaker Fetish
Ok, so it was a poor analogy.I've been sufficiently punished. 
Speaker Fetish
Was that logic I used? . . . . I thought it was Freudian Psychobabble. At any rate . . . . I am deffinatley jealous of my neighbor with the two things. 
Bridging Amps for Subwoofers
The manufacturer suggests 400 watts.Out of the many great ones, who would you recommend? 
Speaker Fetish
It must be kinda like penis envy. If my nieghbor has a big pair, I gotta have bigger ones!I'm suffering the same affliction of speaker fetish . . . . I always thought it was because skeakers affect a system's sound more than anything.

How about Nestorovic speakers?
Good luck finding used ones. I've been looking for years. I auditioned a pair of Nestorovics a few years ago and was so impressed that now, nothing compares. If I recall correctly Milos Nestrovic was an engineer with McIntosh and was responsible f... 
Any opinions on Leagacy stuff?
relja - Just wondering in what way they dissapointed you. I feel the same way. I look through the catalog and think, "somebody has hit a home run with these designs". Of course I'm looking for a rock speaker, one that gives me the feel of a live c... 
Who R U?
WOW, I just spent the last 2 hrs reading all of the intro's. My name is Scott Jensen. The reason I give you my full name is, when I started in this hobby, back in the mid 70's, every time I walked into an audio store, I was encouraged to buy Scott... 
Sub for monster BASS!!!!!!
NHT has a new sub with 2 front firering 12" drivers in a sealed box. I was impressed. A lot less boomy than thier ported units. 
Best speaker for rock music
Nestorovics - Check them out at this site: http://www.savantaudio.com/nest5asr.html I don't have a pair yet, but I'm saving. Best rock speaker I've heard at any price. The sound defies thier looks. Made in Seattle, I don't know how popular they ar...
