| I Was at a Funeral of An Audiophile... Schroeder - I've seen your name occasionally for years now in these forums but I never really took notice of who you are. Now I have - and I will disregard your observations henceforth. Silly putty. | |
| The best speaker you ever heard? If you like Bose 901 speakers, that's fine for you but many of us are far too experienced to accept such jibberish. I was a very successful Bose salesman in the 1970s. The product was flying out the door and the jibberish was being swallowed by th... | |
