But he is so phenomenal you can't avoid appreciating and enjoying his playing even on the worst recorded records. My latest favorite rockers, Band-Maid (from Japan) have s... | |
| Would you move to a bigger house if you could just to have a better listening room ? Inna, took care of that business thirty-four yeas ago. Well worth it and have enough surrounding acreage to not bother neighbors with the sound of music. What a joy every day. Mike | |
| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system Maxwave, I’m still in the considering options phase and have not sold my house as of yet. I’ve been seriously considering becoming an expatriate, except that moving all my stuff to another country and dealing with buying a home, visas and the like... | |

| Help me spend $100,000 on a new system hsounds, Trouble with the room decor is that I have mostly Federal style furnishings (mostly repros of an early American, roughly 1790-1820 style, for anyone not familiar) that doesn’t lend itself to what you are describing. How would you tell if... | |
