For that low price you will have to buy something made in Ch*na! Which is ok! Look at your smartphone! Guess where that came from! 
Best bookshelf loudspeakers under 10,000 for the pair
You haven't lived until you've heard the LS3/5A"s! A true "desert island" speaker!

Wow an old album that rocked your world
Next up for a future listen will be Procul Harum's A Salty Dog! Again, an original A&M pressing from 1969! I in fact saw this band in concert in Vancouver in September 1972!  
Wow an old album that rocked your world
I recently listened to Procul Harum's Shine On Brightly. A 1968 A&M pressing. Truly a landmark progressive rock recording! Now, alas, largely forgotten! Check out side two's suite - In Held 'Twas In I. Robin Trower's masterful axe-playing is a...
