| What was your first record? It’s good to still be kicking! It looks like I am one of the oldest people on here. I bought “Peter, Paul and Mary” in 1962, when I was 12. I still have it. It looks like a Brillo pad. Bent | |
| Inexpensive but decent 8" subwoofers SVS. They are having a sale right now. | |
| Pink Floyd’s Roger Waters Ruins the Song ‘Money’! That’s hilarious! If it weren’t for singing, the tempo and the execution, it would be great! bent | |

| Home audio or pro audio? I’m a wanna be musician. I own Focal Solo 6BE monitors and did have a Focal Sub6. They are VERY bright in addition to not having much detail. As I recall, if you fell on the impedance curve you would die from stab wounds. They do not sound at all ... | |
| Seriously though, maybe the best tweak is exercise? My take away is bug spray. It’s 25° where I live. At 8200 feet there’s no air up here either. If you exercise you’ll fall over. Bent | |
