I think my hearing is damaged.
You may want to see a neurologist if your balance is effected as well. My wife was experiencing loss of hearing and what she thought were occasional episodes of slight vertigo and unbalance. The audiologist tested her hearing and said it was "norm... 
Modern day female jazz recommendations
I've been obsessing over Kelly Flint of Dave's True Story for a while now. Although I sampled her latest, without Dave, and find it very boring. Funny how that happens sometimes, like with Keely Smith. I find her extraordinary with Louis Prima, bu... 
Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers?
1markr - I have a pair of ACI 65Hz in-line filters I have not yet tried. If I use them I'll not require so much power then? Any idea how much of a load is relieved from the speakers using 65Hz filters? Is it possible I could get away with 70wpc tu... 
Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers?
Any others? I think these speakers have just he right amount of bite and smoothness, which i why I like the so. Great for all kinds of music, even less than stellar recordings - not that they'll improve a poor recording, just allow you to listen t... 
Amp for EgglestonWorks Speakers?
Thank you for your responses. These speakers are not discussed much. I am happy with my 250wpc hybrid (AVA Fet Valve Ultra) but always wonder how they'd sound with other types of amps. I've only had hybrids and I don't have much opportunity to exp... 
Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers?
Shakeydeal (love the moniker) - I read that the LF woofs do go to 1kHz ... Anyone know otherwise? It may very well be an awesome sounding speaker - I am not refuting that and I have NOT heard them (dealer in Atlanta does not have space to audition... 
Tube amps good with Emerald Physics CS2 speakers?
I don't get some folks' reasoning on using potentially lesser quality amps on the LF woofs of these speakers. I can understand if those woofs handled only LFs, but unless I'm mistaken, these LF woofs also handle freqs up to 1kHz. That covers the a... 
good sounding cd's
Back Door Slam - Roll Away - BEST recording of rock, plus fantastic blues/rock, and the singer/guitar player can actually sing!

Room Treatments and WAF? Long
Try 1" slat wood shutters or blinds. 
Where to get protective cups for under spikes?
I had great success with fender washers from HD, glued together using JB Weld, painted flat black. Fender washers are easily identifiable by their smaller than usual hole. You'll need as many that your spikes will fit into without the points touch... 
How Do You Organize Your Music?
My OCD (self-diagnosed) is cause for deep consternation in this area. I want to sort by genre, alpha, then chron, but each has it's own dilemma. For example ...GENRE: Muddy is Blues, but how about Fleetwod Mac with Green? And then what if I have F...

Your First Concert was.....
1970 (or '71?) - Olympia Stadium - Detroit, MI - 5th row - Alice Cooper and Steppenwolf. When Steppenwolf played "Pusher", with that awesome Hammond B3 and the searing, ear-splitting lead guitar my life changed. I went from being a stupid teenage ...
