| music reference rm 200 mk ii versus mcintosh 275 v I have run an older RM200 with my Wilson WP7s in a 1600 cu. ft. room very effectively for several years. Given that these speakers present challenges to an amplifier that I am guessing are similar to your own, I can tentatively recommend that you ... | |
| Which Ahmad Jamal Recordings? There is much to enjoy in this vein on his Argo recordings of the late 50s and early 60s, "Live at the Pershing" being, perhaps the most famous. I was knocked out by his 2003 recording, "In Search of Momentum" on the Dreyfus label. He plays with i... | |
| Watt Puppy 7 needs new or used Amp and Pre-amp I have had WP7s in my system for several years and have auditioned them with many different pieces of electronics, both tubed and solid state. I, too have found that tubes are a better match with the WP7s than solid state. I have used a Wright Sou... | |
| Who was your first My parents have always had great taste in music and that certainly extended to the Jazz they listened to. I must have been four or five when "Song for My Father" came out and was placed on heavy rotation on the old Garrard. Joe Henderson's tenor s... | |
| modern latin tinged swingin boppin jazz....no vox Anything by Johnny Blas on Cubop. King Conga and Indestructible Spirit are most tasty. | |
| Music Reference RM9 and Preamp Experiences I'm not sure that the Wright would kill the giants but it does sound quite different. Before I settled on the RM200 I auditioned a lot of different sets of electronics with the WP7s. Some were very expensive and very impressive. I thought that the... | |
| Music Reference RM9 and Preamp Experiences I have been using an RM200 in conjunction with Wilson WP7s for quite some time and have heard this combination with three different preamps in my own system, and a couple of other preamps in a few other systems.The first few combinations I heard w... | |
| Confessions I've found that nothing clears out a room faster than Albert Ayler's "Live in Greenwich Village" LP. My wife runs screaming from the room when this one goes on. I have had few takers but that doesn't dampen my love for this music one bit. | |
| Modern day female jazz recommendations Judy Wexler is a wonderful singer. Excellent phrasing and great intonation coupled to real interpretive skill. Great taste in music too. Wonderful collaborator in pianist Jeff Collela who is also a great arranger. Latest CD, "Dreams and Shadows" i... | |

| In Whose Ears Do You Trust Most? I trust my body, not just my ears. If the feet are tapping, butt is shaking, and head is bobbing all is well. My ears alone are susceptible to sound effects and all sorts of musically irrelevant stuff that never fool the rest of me. | |
| Clements audio speakers? I bought a pair of Clements 103D speakers for a small system that I play daily in my laboratory. The system is set up on shelves against the long wall of a very large room that is subdivided by shelving and equipment but no walls. It is connected ... | |
| Best Louis Armstrong LP to Start With? I love the Ella & Louis LPs and Satchmo Plays King Oliver but if its Louis' best music you are after you need to get the Hot Five and Hot Seven recordings from the beginning of his career. These are not audiophile fair, but they are musically ... | |
| the cheapest amp to drive watt/puppy 7 I've driven my WP7s with a Music Reference RM200 for five years and it is an excellent match. The 100 or so watts that it produces is enough to rock out with in my modest listening space, but it is equally good with opera, orchestral, jazz and blu... | |
