Best Male Singers of the 20th Century
Nat King Cole. Not for nothing that "King" was put there. Louis Armstrong. Ray Charles. Listening to these 3 maestros, I understand one definition of genius: a genius makes doing something complicated seem simple and effortless. Like Leonhard Eule... 
Spanish Harlem, by Rebecca Pidgeon, The Raven
Newbee, sorry for my bad term... What I meant by 'significantly less audible' was that the 'sound' was moved deeper into the soundstage. In my old system, whose resolution, voicing, soundstaging, etc, were nowhere near what I use now, it was locat...

NAD takes on the Krell Beast 1800 vs 6700??
Seems like people that can't afford Krell love to stomp it without even caring to see further where the bad sound comes from. OTOH, Krell owners can also feel pressed to 'justify' their purchases since Krell products, even used, are so expensive. ... 
How do you determine how much to spend on speakers
I wonder if Krazeeyk had made the decision and bought the system and is happy or not with it...Initially, balanced spending is a good idea, but as your listening ability grows in the audiophile direction (which can be good or bad, depending upon w...
