Can anyone identify the model of this speakers?
I was able to view pics but it took some work. Kinda looks like a Dynaudio version of a Polk Audio RTiA9. No idea really though.  
If you could, what live performances would you enjoy re-living?

@decooney I had a pair of the AMT’s in the early 80’s biggest mistake I ever made getting rid of them. They’re still avail now direct from ESS about $4500 pair. They’re on my bucket list, which is getting shorter every day.

A21 vs McCormack?
The A-21 is a great, powerful amp, maybe one of the best under $3k amps around, made in China. The McCormack DNA-1's are legendary bulletproof amps, deluxe versions comparable power, made in the USA. When you talk about "newly rebuilt" Gold McCorm... 
Any Love For Bryston Here?
@bjg I have a Piaget Dancer (about $15k) beautiful watch, and a Movado SE (about $1k) very nice also, both quartz movement. Doesn’t matter which one I wear, I’m always 5 minutes late for work. I thought the Piaget would get me there sooner..... I ...
