| Refurbishing 1973 Large Advent speaker I would upgrade the caps and get a new pair of drivers. The DIY audio forum will have all the info youll need. | |
| Good Inexpensive Amp for Back Yard Speakers Don't know your exact budget, but for two hs-2 outdoor speakers, a decent cheap receiver should do well. Something from Yamaha or Onkyo. | |
| Anyone experienced with Emerald Physics speakers? I have Spatials, the successor of sorts to EP. Absolutely beautiful sounding speakers. Huge soundstage, lots of nuances, and just fun to listen to music with. you should email Eric after the holiday and see what he says about them. | |
| Do You Remember Your First CD Player? Not really. Maybe one of those 90's Aiwa boxes. But nothing dedicated until my Cairn Fog in 2003. | |
| what would you do? @grinnell +1 on the de Capos. I had them in a very small basement listening and they never overwhelmed while also filling the space completely. | |

| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? "I celebrate his entire catalog!" | |
| Can one ever be "done" in this hobby? ^^^^^I respectfully disagree. The whole point of this hobby is to enjoy and be immersed in your music. Once that's accomplished, what more is there, really? | |
| Your favourite Rush albums? @shadorne A thoroughly enjoyable video. Never caught the Terry Brown harmony or Alex's picking on the intro before. Must listen for them both next time. | |
