| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @gosta:That Webster is a good one -- gonna have to buy it! Although not to my tastes, I'd guess many others will enjoy the A. Cohen. Thanks for your suggestions. | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @whart:Yeah-- those "old guys" play so damned loud I had to retreat to the lobby for most of the show. Ridiculous-- they must not realize they're nearly deaf! Thanks for your contributions. | |

| Monitor suggestions? @ozzy62 "You do realize that a small floorstander will take up no more real estate than a monitor on a stand? And give you more of what you require too."Hint: expand your thinking from two to three dimensions. @twoleftears: The title of this thr... | |
| Monitor suggestions? @rocray:I looked into Fyne before but couldn't find US dealers. @akg_ca: Most Harbeths seem more like floor-stander size on a half-height stand than typical monitors. I have severe placement restrictions due to furniture. And the room is not small... | |
| Monitor suggestions? Yes-- I already acknowledged that was expecting too much. | |
| Monitor suggestions? @ motokokusanagi:"I looked up the Vela. That’s a weirdass port solution. It’s using the bottom plane of the speaker effectively as a mini stand-cum-slotted vent....nobody else does this. And I’d be more skeptical than forgiving of if it doesn’t s... | |
| Monitor suggestions? I cannot use floor-standers due to furniture in living room.Zu Druids might work but I do not have the $ Looking over specs, it looks to me like Grahams would require subs, for sure. | |
| Monitor suggestions? @motokokusnagi;Agree that ATC SCM19 would be great if I could use subs. Otherwise, no. I said "ideally" re: 35HZ.-- I should have said "as deep as possible" or similar. FYI, Elac Vela has port that fires back AND down. I will look into Graham. | |
| Monitor suggestions? And subs are not on the table! | |
| Singer Songwriters Rarely Mentioned By Audiophiles @danager:"Pieta Brown: Freeway is a great albumI don’t see her mentioned by audiophiles and have no idea whether she’s mainstream but she’s darn good."Yeah, well it's a common pattern. For example, there seem to many audiophiles whose familiarity ... | |
| Jazz Fans-- Name some of your favorite, less well known recordings @psion:Thanks-- these might be too "outside" for some listeners but both are indeed classics of their respective genres.@simonmoon:"I view jazz as an evolving living art form, and not a museum piece, so, I will try to focus my recommendations on ... | |

| Your last concert was to see who and when? The Cookers, a couple years ago. I couldn't ignore a chance to see/hear Billy Harper again. Unfortunately, they were louder than most Rock bands I've heard and I had to retreat to the lobby for most of the performance.I spoke to the soundman and h... |
