| Advice for upgrading my system If you are auditioning speakers, I would suggest giving Maggie’s a listen. I was sold on mine when listening to Brubeck, as the resolution is amazing.Good luck in your journey! | |
| Had Three Different Speaker Thoughts; Now A Fourth I think given the financial commitment you are going to make, that a road trip is in order. If you have never heard Maggies, you definitely need to hear them.I say this because people often are drawn to them, or not. In my case, I knew they were... | |
| Why is science just a starting point and not an end point? I have read perhaps 30% of this thread, so excuse me if this post is redundant. I would like to suggest that science clearly has an effect that is demonstrable in many ways. However, the complexity that cannot be quantified and is one of the pri... | |

| Old Amps that can still Kick Butt I have a pair of McIntosh 501 mono blocks, 18 years old and Still Kick Ass! 750 bench measured watts! My Maggie’s love the current. | |

| What is your favorite album cover? AEwarren beat me to it, but Electric Ladyland with all the topless girls in the early release (I have one from back in the day) and Cheap Thrills with all R. Crumb artwork do it for me!! | |
| Favorite Guitar Solo Duane Allman playing at the 6:30 of You Don't Love Me from the Live at the Fillmore album. It is a soulful lyrical solo, no fast, but one that touches your soul.I experienced it live at the Syria Mosque in Pgh on that tour. I still touches me 50... | |

| Lack of Female Representation I would suggest that women like great sound, but are not obsessed with finding that 1/10 of 1 percent gain for big $$$. High quality audio is found in many ways, if there is no testosterone driven need to be better than the other guy.They see th... | |
