JBL 4350's
I took a more in depth look at Kenrick's site and a pair of 4355 (which are very similar to your 4350) are going for about $17,500. I'm not saying you'd get that much as they overhaul everything in the speaker and use only the finest components th... 
What are important features in a listening chair
I always thought this one version of the Eames looked cool:https://losangeles.craigslist.org/lac/fud/d/aluminum-aviation-eames-lounge-chair/6880860006.html All the best,Nonoise 
What are important features in a listening chair
I use a pair of these: http://www.ifn-modern.com/shop/chairs/lounge-chairs/pavilion-chair-ottoman.htmlThis Canadian outfit sourced a really top quality replica of the original Knoll chair. I've seen and sampled some really bad ones and sat on an o... 
Need advice on what amp to get under a budget.

JBL 4350's
Kenrick Audio, in Japan, would love to get ahold of those and work their magic on them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hIBaZhuA1NA&t=30s&frags=pl%2Cwn https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QaG7KyYSpE8&frags=pl%2Cwn https://www.youtube.com/w... 
Speaker advice for listening to Blues music
If you want to approximate what you've heard as a blues player when you used a Fender amp, try a speaker with a base driver around the same size as the one in your amp, for starters.You really can't go wrong with JBL speakers. I'm thinking the 430... 
Shocked removed spikes, used blue tack, what other non spike footer
Since I don't have any kids or pets to worry about, I used to have my monitors sitting directly on a thick, maple stand that sat on a big enough section of tile to cover the area of the stand's base and it all rested on carpet, over concrete, over... 
Audio racks
I think a lot of this talk about isolation goes way beyond what's necessary for great audio enjoyment. As my equipment got better (and much heavier), the footers I used had the opposite results: muddier sound. Taking them out and placing them dire... 
Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ?
Is firstnot a derivative of Slipnot minus some class? 
Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ?
Funny you should mention that, Geoff. When composing, auto spell first spelled that instead of the word I wanted to use. I almost missed it. 🤪 
Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ?
@cd318, I agree that there is a certain amount of condensention on the part of some engineers, misguided as it may be.And, I'd like the ability to hear things as they were performed, as close to an "acoustic" rendition as possible. It would be lim... 
Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ?
I wish they still made Olds. My dad had a ’58 Olds station wagon and it was like a living room on wheels. Can’t remember what it sounded like but I do remember all of us getting out and pushing it to a gas station.It was like pushing a living room... 
Distortions that the human ear likes. Are there any ?
I think what the engineers were talking about were the nuanced distortions injected into even order harmonics that can please our ears. He wasn't referring to even ordered natural harmonics as they wouldn't be distorted, by their very nature.Think... 
Ultimate power condotioner
Wasn't there an article, not too long ago, that told of an eccentric Japanese audiophile who went to great lengths to procure his own power transformer that fed just his house?Sounds like you lucked out, big time. Enjoy! 👍All the best,Nonoise
