klipsch horns
I have a pair of Quicksilver Horn Monos driving Belle Klipsch speakers in a large room. They work extremely well. The 2A3 SET amps were not powerful enough in my room. The Quicksilver Horn Monos are an excellent match for Klipsch Horn Speakers.

keeping collection organized?????
I know I am showing my age, or perhaps the age of my collection, when I say how I organize my collection: 4000+ LPs and 1500+ CDs. I started in the 60s using 3x5 plain library cards. Each work is on a separate card and filed by composer. On the le... 
Maggie 3.6R performance dilemma..

Am I underpowering my Magnepan 3.6's?
I use a Bryston crossover feeding two McCormack DNA-1 deluxe amps. The 3.6/Rs never sounded good with one amp. My present setup works extremely well in my dedicated room which is 20'x30' with 10' walls and a 14' peak cathedral ceiling. No lack of ... 
Maggie 3.6 amplification concern
I started out with Maggies with one of the first Timpani 1U, later I went to the Timpani 1D and now the 3.6/R. I have used Bryston 4BST & 14BST as single amps driving the pair. But the best sound has been attained with two amplifiers with an e... 
Where can I purchase big band lp's?
I have purchased several big band LPs listed on eBay. Select MUSIC category and type in name of band or band leader. There are always 2 or 3 pages of Glenn Miller listings. Some rare and great finds are possible!

Where R U?????
I'm on the Canadian border with Quebec in the Northeast Kingdom of Vermont. The town is Holland with no Post Office, one paved road with little or no traffic noise to contend with! Quiet and beautiful! And NO audiophile neighbors that I know of. I...

The piece is by Vivaldi and is the orchestral beginning of the 3rd movement of SUMMER Op. 8 No. 2 from "THE FOUR SEASONS". Your excerpt stops right before the solo violin entrance.
