Transmission Line Bass
Check out the Stromberg Carlson 340 radio (1939) with Acoustical Labyrinth. the first transmission line?Brad 
How do we remember 1970s amplifiers?
Lacee , so pleasant to read your comments, they are so parallel to my own. The store I worked at was a little place called Wack Electronics in Milwaukee Wisconsin-from 1975 to about 1977-then to a sound contractor, then back to the store until I b... 
Best speakers in the 3000 -5000 range
ATC SCM40's.....amazing resolution in the midrange. People are mixing records on the pro equivalent of these (SCM25A). 
How do we remember 1970s amplifiers?
You forgot the Audio Research D150 and D75 around that time, late 70's. I ran a high end hi fi store. We had Ampzilla's (nicer sounding than the Flame Linear) and BGW's (too harsh) or the Crowns (REALLY harsh). SAE was around then too, had some co... 
Does a center channel have to match the front spke
Good question! For proper film, center is for dialogue only-so that leads one to believe you could use a different speaker successfully. Music/effects are NOT sent to the center. However, there are some newer mixes that defy this and who knows wha... 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
Jennifer Warren Famous Blue is also George Massenburg too.... 
Best Rock Album in 2011

Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison?
Ben: Nice article on the whole idea behind the immersion discs....Brad 
Best Rock Album in 2011
What do you guys think of TOOL 10,000 Days? Recorded by Joe Baressi, maybe one of the best LA Engineers at guitar tone. The first cut off the record is amazing rock guitar. Adam Jones is a very talented (and nice guy). 
What is the best Reel To Reel machine ever built?
ThuchanVERY nice photo and machine. What studio?Brad 
Favorite Female vocals that give you goose bumps
TransNova: Linda Rondstadt is a George Massenburg recording-he is one of the best there is. He builds his own gear (I sell it to studios) and it defines "transparent" in pro audio world. Look up his other recordings-all of them fantastic. Like Daw... 
Best Rock Album in 2011
Foo Fighters is very interesting and cool sounding rock record, done on tape like rock records from years ago. Butch Vig produced it -a great guy who is also the drummer from Garbage-also had an all analog studio in Madison Wisconsin for along tim... 
Most achingly-beautiful music
Water for Elephants, James Newton Howard. An inspired and brilliant piece of music, recorded by the master scoring mixer, Shawn Murphy. I cannot get enough of this modern masterpiece.Brad 
Best Speakers at RMAF 2011...?
In the Marriot, the ATC 50s sounded nice on Saturday (after some room tweaking), the high end Sony's sounded nice, the Josephs too. I noted Mr Joseph, who is a great guy, was wise to set up his speakers at an angle in the room. In the Hyatt, the A... 
Pink Floyd Dark Side comparison?
Dhl93449I am not sure I'd agree with you the 80s version is better than the current version. James Guthrie is a friend of mine and his work is stellar, as well as the band had a lot to say about it. Are you sure there couldn't be some other reason...
