Is it all worth it?
It's not nostalgia.   I aways thought these pretty good for the size and cost but no special attachment. But they are very involving speakers and very easy on the ear as long as you don't push them too hard.    It would make me question spending u... 
Best Drum Solos
Well the best I've heard in regards to tantalizing sound was at Carnegie hall so I'll guess the best recorded one is from there as well.

Come on now surely nobody doubts resonance affects sound?   Just look it up. Its not rocket science though finding the resonance that sounds best may be.   
The Beach Boys
The rolling stone magazine 60s crowd thinks Pet Sounds is one of the greatest.  Its a a nicely crafted milestone work.  I'd leave it at that.  
Has anyone heard the new North American products preamp and amp?

Moto_Man's Scam Of The Week
Nothing wrong with the idea of a resonator affecting sound but much cheaper to buy run of the mill Tibetan singing bells for under $50 a pop,. Place a few around the room, maybe even on top of speakers and resonate to your hearts content if that's... 
Did you hear Adele at the Grammy's?
Frogman an interesting assessment as usual.Of course these are pop singers we are talking about. Also a fairly young one still with Adele. I’ll be willing to bet this unfortunate event will make her even better in the future. The best have learned...

Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians!
I would also rather hear Lemmy sing his stuff than anyone else. Its a unique though technically flawed instrument as well.Then of course there is the case of the man Johnny Cash himself.  Often a great but limited and flawed vocalist who probably ... 
Your picks of mediocre or lousy vocals with great musicians!
The Byrds did wonderful versions of Dylan songs.  Can't think of any other Dylan covers I enjoy as much as Dylan's.Dylan's is a case of an effective voice.   Not good at all rally technically.  He's also not a great musician either some in the kno... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
"I just happen to have two of them sitting in a closet within 5 ft of my listening room. "Now that's what I call fate!

Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
Let us know how the subdudes work out. Should take things up a few levels still I suspect. They did for me. Exact same true with Isoacoustics brand isolating stands I use with small monitors in another similar room. I’ve used those with my Triangl... 
Ohm Walsh Micro Talls: who's actually heard 'em?
