Are audiophile speakers turn on for single women?
Being 84 and having pots of money may just swing it. 
Song covers that are better than the originals
For mild angelic covers check out 'Scala & Kolacny Brothers' on youtube. Rather excellent. 
Does the wilson sophia 1 sound good only with perf
'Badly recorded music sounds bad on any speaker. Fact of life, Grasshopper.' Someone would have to have very average (but expensive) run of the mill speakers/ancillaries, that are obviously not up to scratch for a fleeting comment like that to be ...

Live vs. recorded
