Best female vocals on CD
I agree with so many of those mentioned...Margo Timmins, Ella, Holly Cole, early Linda Ronstadt, Sarah Mclaughlin,k.d.land(fantastic live!). How about Stevie Nicks on "Rhiannon" and "Silver Spring", and also some of the Indigo Girls.

I too have a small listening room, 10x11'. I have Klipsch RB-5 speakers, and an Anthem Pre1L and Amp1, which is EL34 based with 40 watts. When I first put the equipment in the room, I had the speakers on some folding tv tables, the Anthems and my ...
