| ProAc D20R vs Totem Forest Signature I can't help you with the Totem comparison. I can tell you that the ProAc models with ribbon tweeter are IMO a real improvement. I had the 2.5 and now own the D 40r | |

| Can you recommend Jazz for some one that doesn't like Jazz? I always recommend Larry Coryell "Fairyland": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4wmTzQpOpI&ab_channel=LarryCoryell-Topic Jazz for people that like rock | |

| What are your top 10 records @whart A big plus one on that his rendition of Patricia (the third release of that recording by Art Pepper on Art Pepper Today) is stunning. |
