| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? In_shore, we were all in love with Michelle Phillips. Please don't be monopolizing her attention. I suppose you could make a realistic and valid argument she was so appealing, that alone would make the Mamas and Papas the greatest American band of... | |
| For those of us over 60.. Mike Bloomfield and whatever groups and combos he was playing with from Paul Butterfield, Bob Dylan, The Electric Flag. Al Kooper, and many more. Probably the premier American blues/rock guitarist, who burned himself and his talent out. Personally... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Allangard. Magico does make a unique and good looking grill for the A3's. Costs $600 a pair. I ordered them at the same time as the A3's at Command Performance who had them on their demo model. Check out this link. Give the page a second to load ... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks Thomas, I'll google your amp. I've got a thread going on amps now so I can start to sort that subject out.Thanks Steve, there sure were a lot of recommendations as you say. I did research each and every one of them though. Hmm, Alon Wolf re... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Thank you all for your thoughtful replies.Kosst_amojan, I still don’t understand what amplifier "classes" are referring to. Pardon me for being a beginner at this, but I am trying to learn so I can understand why one class might be preferable to a... | |

| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Thanks inna for explaining what monoblocks are. $5000 to $6000 max will really be my upper limit, unfortunately ruling out the Gryphon Diablos. And yes I'm only looking to purchase new equipment.I'm not really looking for integrated amp recommenda... | |

| Best building material for vibration free shelving rcronk5, thanks for you relaying your sound engineers advice and your accompanying explanation. I will go ahead and fill the spaces in to suppress potential reverb effects. I enjoyed your Jerry Lee Lewis "Whole lot of shakin' going on," reference... | |
| Which band IS really America's Greatest (rock & roll band)? Big Brother and the Holding Company with Janis Joplin at the helm. Their one album at the Fillmore West was bold, brash and outstanding in every way, and in my opinion outshines all other American groups of much longer duration. Beach Boys were gr... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers My apologies fsonicsmith, don’t know what I was thinking. Everybody misspells my last name, O’Neill too, so I’m usually conscientious about that type of thing. I won’t fail you again. Tomic601, you’re lucky to have seen the Pretenders live. The cl... | |
| Road trip to demo $10,000 speakers Thanks Tomic60. The Magico purchase saved you a trip flying out to Roanoke to set up Vandersteen Treo’s. The Treo’s came in a close second to my ears, and were great recreating vocal performances. Don’t see how anybody could go wrong with them.Lar... |
