| Whats one of the most memorable listening nights you have ever had? On Dec. 8, 1980 I went to see Springsteen & The E Street Band. After the show I walked through the parking lot with my friends singing Thunder Road as we climbed into my car and turned on the radio expecting to hear Bruce on all the rock stati... | |
| Still looking for an amplifier upgrade- but with a new twist..... I have two to consider not yet mentioned :D'Agastino Era Krell like the FBP, KSA & KMA series and the Lamm hybrids like M2.x. I have owned both to drive my challenging vintage Sound Labs. The Lamms are specifically made to handle very low imp... | |

| BE VERY CAREFUL OF YOUR DEALINGS ON AUDIO-ASYLUM Will, even if this works out, I think you were a bit naive and gave this seller too much slack. When communication ceases it usually indicates an issue. Everyone has global access to email etc. "I was on a trip" isn't valid in today's world. After... | |
