| Help with narrowing down speaker choice The Tonians are one I would want to consider in your case.Larger performance tweaked Klispch La Scala, Horn, or Cornwalls are another.A lot of people like Zu. Also one I would consider.The best speakers I have hard that fit your bill were a pair o... | |

| John Barry & James Bond Music Big Bond fan here.I pick up the old soundtracks on vinyl whenever I see them in good shape at reasonable cost. Very nice recordings as a whole! The essence of what vinyl is all about in many ways!"You Only Live Twice" is maybe my favorite Bond the... |
