| You can't afford a Lambo Veneno, so get this.. So weird. Might be the only Lamborghini associated thing that won't be in the repair shop every other month. | |
| Those rare albums that are great on first listen. Some of my favorites have already been listed. I would add Dire Straits - Dire Straits Miles Davis - Kind of Blue Guy Clark - Dublin Blues John Prine - John Prine Peter Tosh - Equal Rights Run The Jewels - RTJ4 | |
| Subwoofer for music only ? B-stock SVS SB-1000 Pro could be a way to get two. Or a single B-stock SB-2000Pro. These new Pro versions have an app that allows you to adjust the bass using a graphic equalizer | |
| A great video on an artist you may not be aware of. Participants include Elvis Costello. I saw him more than a few times at Merlefest, Magnolia fest, Suwanee, and others often with Donna The Buffalo or others. @wharfy I would add Darrell Scott and Tim O'Brien to the list also. Damn I loved Guy Clark. | |

| I don't get it...Exile on main Street-Blue Exile has some great songs on it but it also has a lot of mediocre songs too. I've always felt it was over rate. It has twice the number of songs as Sticky Fingers but only an equal number of great songs. | |
| Emotiva XPA-2 Gen 3 or NAD C 275BEE or Rotel RB-1582 MkII for Revel F208 @jasonbourne52 thanks for the reply. I've not had much time with the new speakers but it seems that the AVR might actually be running a little cooler with the 8 ohm F208 than it did with the previous 6 ohm F36. | |
| Looking for integrated solid state amp for daily usage I like Yamaha. The A-S1200 is right at the top of your budget. | |
