| Looking to Develop A Short List of Amplifier Candidates For A Pair Of JBL 4367 Speakers +1 on COD; but, their S5.5 model is probably a better match for your JBL speakers.

| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @blackbag20 +1 on "muted trumpet." A musical quirk of mine is that I hate muted trumpet because it is so rarely done well. Usually, it is derivative and/or cheesy. I submit these as two examples of doing it right: MARK EITZEL - "Mission Rock ... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? Joanna Newsome, Regina Spektor and anything with boogie-woogie piano. Since most of the debating is about not liking popular and/or revered artists, my pick in that category would be Paul Simon (solo albums only). His solo stuff has always rubbed... | |
| Are there any recording artists you just can’t listen too? @mapman I saw a Dave Matthews Band bumper sticker (DMB), and I realized that it was just a vowel away from spelling "dumb" | |
