| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries @mahgister, I, too, was an alter boy and choir boy. My love of polyphony and liturgical music began with music in the church. I’ve been to Italy 3X and saw some stupendous churches and cathedrals there, as well as in the U.S. I have zero religios... | |

| Let's talk music, no genre boundaries Is Monteverdi 8th book of madrigals, all Gesualdo and Josquin Des Prez are boring or correspond to your definition ? For me there is no relation between genius and chronological time ? I have certain criteria that I love in music. If musi... | |
| How competitive are you with your system? I am not competitive because it will be ridiculous... Learning how to set right a system/room is enough... I can do it with any system/room then why being competitive for a specific chosen one ? Mine is low cost anyway... Bragging about his s... | |

He was not always well politely spoken and a bit harsh or dogmatical about his opinions but who is perfect ? Hate is meaningless... I debated against him and it was interesting... I cannot sa... | |
