| Most forgiving high end speaker 10k-20k? I have found that, in general, I prefer speakers with soft dome tweeters. To my ears, when they are properly fed, I am less likely to be bothered by them and can enjoy lesser quality recordings vs. other tweeter types. That and a good supported bo... | |

| Live in your Detroit recordings... Yo Phase! Ex-Detroiter here (now Atlanta)...While I have many local Detroit recordings, not many are live. Now that I look, I am surprised at how few live I do have:Lonnie Smith - Live at Club MozambiqueBlues from the Heart ('94)Blues from the Hea... | |
| Room treatments - GIK Vs Acoustimac Agree with Sebrof. Same with my 244s. The side and back "framing" are open on purpose for trapping instead of reflecting. It is a bass "trap". Not done to be cheap, but rather for better effectiveness. | |
| Best drink while listening to your rig? Most recent favorite brews: Skull Splitter (Orkney Brewers, Scotland); Saison Rue (The Bruery, CA); KBS (Founders Brewing, MI). | |
| How many albums do you need ? I have easily over 1,000 CDs. Around the time I hit 1,000 there were times when I thought of a song I wished to hear from my collection but could not recall the performer. It was then that I thought, "maybe I have too many CDs now?" But that momen... | |

| Best single-malt Scotch... Awesome suggestions - thank you! I picked up a bottle of Islay Bowmore 12 and Red Breast 12. Islay (smoky) was great before dinner, and the Red Breast (sweet) great afterwards. Both required blooming to enhance and refine their flavors. To bloom I... | |
| Stores or dealers in Sao Paulo? All good points Buconero, thank you. Did not really think all of that through. But will still window shop at a brick and mortar store if given the opportunity. No harm there as long as I don't lead anyone on or take their time away from real custo... | |
| SET sound without a lot of money Audio Mirror offers two beautiful sounding and looking SETs, 20 watts per channel and 45 watts per channel (I have this one for my 87db 6 ohm (min) speakers). Not 300B or 2A3, but 6C33C - powerful and beautiful sound nonetheless. If you are near A... |
