| 80 years old - Paul McCartney & Brian Wilson I also saw Phil Collins via you tube from a recent show. He walks with a cane and has serious issues. Can’t play drums anymore. Voice is gone. Sad actually but same ole story of an artist hanging on way longer than he/she should. | |
| Mirage M1 Speakers. I’ve owned a few pairs - m7si & M5si over the years. They love power. I powered with larger Emotiva amp and also an older Counterpoint SA-220 with good results. I also used Monarchy Audio class A Mono blocks too. | |

| Cambridge Audio axa35 integrated amplifier ? I did read several owners noting humming concerns so I was worried if I’d have the same concern. However givien my equipment combo the background is dead silent. Thank goodness! | |
| Please Recommend Highly Efficient Floor Standing Non-Horn Speaker Suggestions I responded earlier giving a recommendation for the Tekton Lore speakers. My prior systems consisted mostly of tube gear. I just picked up a Rega Brio integrated amp and honestly I’m blown away at the performance of this piece for the money. ... | |
