| Amplifier recommendations for 86 dB Sensitivity Speakers My first nice set of speakers(at least in my opinion) were the Hales Concept Two. I drove those speakers with Audio Research VT-100 amp and Audible Illusions preamp. Never had a problem driving those speakers and enjoying great music. | |

| Drinking Songs playlest... What am I missing? You have to mix it up a little with Tone Loc’s Funky Cold Medina. | |
| What is your top sexy song? My favorite sexy song is, well I have two by the same singer that definitely go together. It’s Teddy Pendergrass and the songs are Close the Door and of course followed by, Turn off the Lights. | |
