Speaker Recommendations - from Vandersteen 5As
Hello bigkidz remember way back when we both had Talon Raven C's w/Pass Labs X250's....there's a pair of Tannoy Kensington GR's here for $8k that might fill the bill.  I got Stirling GR's and am smitten, great w/tubes! 
Great musicians who should have been famous except....
I saw Little Feat live in Baltimore before Lowell George passed - man what a show - they were my favs back then still have all the albums w/Lowell.  Also saw the great Roy Buchanan live a couple times in the DC area.
