| Jolida Fx10 It was perhaps the best sound value I heard today at Capital Audio Fest. Very nice looking unit and the sound on small Nola speakers caught a lot of ears! I am tempted to try one in my second system. | |
| Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps I've been really liking Candice Night of Blackmore's Night (Ritchie's wife). Much easier on the eye than Ian Gillan also! | |
| What music do you want to play really loud? in a gadda davida - iron butterflyS&M - metallica | |

| Why not horns? "Most of us know almost nothing about horns as is evidenced by the negative comments some have seen fit to post. "LEts not sugar coat it. Most negative comments are based on actual personal experiences that should not be discounted in an unbiased ... | |
| Maggie MMG I think the amp can be improved as mentioned but you have to determine whether what you have meets your expectations or not first.3 feet out from the wall may be ok, I've seen it work, but again you have to experiment and see. A lot depends on the... | |
| Why not horns? "Are you a cartographer?"I am a software engineer with a background in digital cartography and related systems. | |
