| Moving to a dynamic speaker from a Electrostatic There really is no replacement for large electrostatics. What ever way you go it will be less than what you had. I can only suggest a smaller stat. The see through Martin Logans don't dominate the room like the Sound Labs do. At least not the smal... | |
| Pink Floyd, The Endless River - REVIEW Not the very best of "The Pink Floyd" but very listenable. It's similar to Division Bell. If you liked that one you like this one. | |

| Quiet Amp Cooling Fan I hate to say it but if you are in a smaller room that is really quiet, any fan is going to be heard. There is no way to kill it. I have tried. | |
| Need some recommendations - hard driving big band Henry Mancini, Big Latin Band. Not what it sounds like. Great tunes that drive hard and the recording quality is top shelf. | |
