| Need an amp with a 'turbo' top end Are you sure it's an amp issue? Ohm Fs are an older design and can be subject to many issues these days. The published specs for F's on the Ohm website indicate that the top end extended "only" to 17000Khz, which is lower than most modern speakers... | |
| Gallos how good are they? Hi PEdrillo,I sought out and auditioned the Gallo Reference speaks when last shopping for speaks + liked them very much. Didn't have a chance to listen in great detail though.I did like Quad electrostats the same dealer had better, but these cost ... | |

| Those simpler times..... Once in college I provided the music for an outdoor Halloween party out in the boonies on a farm in Western Kentucky. I set my system (cassette tapes and vinyl only in those days) up on the front porch of the farmhouse facing the main activities o... | |
| The Moody Blues - "Seventh Sojourn" I've seen the Moodys live 5 different times (1st was the Octave show) and most recently the tour from a couple of years back captured on the recent release video "Lovely To See You". Check the online reviews of that performance. Many consider it t... | |
| Those simpler times..... Reminiscing about simpler times is of course not a phenomena limited to audio systems. I think more and more people are starting to become overwhelmed by technology and how it often intrudes or is forcefully injected into their lives in unwanted w... | |

| Those simpler times..... "As phenomenal as all our gear sounds now, let's not forget "those simpler times," when only the music mattered. Let's all remember why we enjoy our hobby as much as we do.............it's the music !!!"Amen. |
