| Recommended Shostakovich? This is a great thread.A couple years ago I began to appreciate classical music so I am quite the novice. I searched through many of the more famous composers and after many trials discovered my connection with Shostakovitch. He has since become m... | |

| Greatest Rock Guitar Riffs The Afghan Whigs "Now You Know" from Gentleman...a close second to "Debonair", same album.My favorite rock album of all time and if you had a chance to see it live....just wow. I was lucky enough to see Greg Dulli Saturday night doing his solo str... | |
| Three best audiophile CD/LP in your collection Bongo...Hijera and Teatro are 2 of my all time favorite albums. Great sound is a bonus on those. Classic records. | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album Madfloyd...The ironic thing is that I am Jewish and DEE is hardcore Christian. I hear much more in his works than preaching religion per say, more the pretty deep conflicts of the soul man struggles with every day. I could go on and on about that ... | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album Madfloyd...Intense in many ways. There is some spiritual influence in his writing for sure and there are some laid back pieces but to my ears, this is some of the most intense music being recorded. Many of the tracks are far from laid back. It has... | |
| Best Rock Album in 2010 This is redundant because I just posted it in the Favorite New Music thread but I think it belongs on this list as well.Woven Hand - The Threshingfloor | |
| "NEWEST'" Favorite album Woven Hand - The ThreshingfloorAll I can say is this is intense. | |
| Best way to ship heavy speakers to Norway. Adcom Worldwide did a nice job for me locally and I know they ship anywhere. Wilson uses them, which is why I picked them on a dealers recommendation, so they are well versed in dealing with large, heavy and expensive speakers. | |
| Wilson audio Maxx best amp match??? What strikes me about those pics of Wilson's room (great link by the way, thanks!), is the lack of room treatments. I had heard that he was not a big fan of them, bass traps and the like, but I guess seeing his room sort of confirms it. | |
| Goldmund mimesis 9.5 and Wilson system 8 I have a couple of thoughts but right off need to tell you that I know nothing about the Goldmund, other than a rep for making fine amps. The Theta is a pretty dark sounding amplifier and given that you listen to majority multichannel, I would try... | |
| Wilson audio Maxx best amp match??? Ironic that I just looked at Wilson's Youtube channel and they posted a video of a presentation done at Music Lovers. They were doing a demo of the Sophia 3 and used all Spectral gear. | |
| Wilson audio Maxx best amp match??? I use a Kell FPB 600c with Maxx 2's at the moment. One thing I can say for sure is that regardless of what you may read about low power amps and Maxx's, these speakers love power and you will need it to get the full potential. I am pleased with th... | |

| Last time you felt that "tingling" sensation? Timrhu...I had the same thought. Emotional, haunting and brilliant song. I add The Sears Tower, from the same record. Particularly when the last line is sung..."In the tower above the earthThere is a view that reaches farWhere we see the universeI... |
