| SoCal FM radio casualty bdp24-Yeah, by 80's the Foothill was just a shell of what it was. I think I saw Screaming Jay Hawkins and the Blasters there.I enjoy reading about your past R&R exploits. Did you ever play at the Golden Bear in Huntington Beach? | |

| Focal Kanta No.2 speakers - any thoughts? Also in comparison with Sonus Faber Olympica 3s? I have the PL HP.

Id go with the Stradivarius Homage if ... | |
