What are B W 802 Series 3 s worth?
I also remember reading something about a bass alignment filter for the 802's. Is this something that comes with them or is this an option? Is it worth the money? Would you recommend using stands and if so, which ones? Thanks for any info. Brent

Definitely Amused To Death as Avguygeorge says. Also Madonna- The Immaculate Collection. Both of these were mastered using the Q Sound process.
