| Wanna feel old? I saw The Yardbirds recently. Jim McCarty, the drummer, was the only original old fart. He looked good for his age (I sat close enough to tell)! The rest were very talented younger musicians. Probably better than the originals back in their day...... | |
| Ohm Acoustics Walsh F-5015 speakers Most older conventional box OHMs from the Marty Gersten/ pre-John Strohbeen era had more forward mid range as I recall. I still have my OHM Ls though I've refurbed them a bit and same still holds true there. | |
