| What if you designed your ultimate speaker? Allow me to point out that there are and have long been not only 2-way, 3-way and 4-way speakers, but also 5-way and even 6-way designs. So to my mind the multi-way concept in general is clearly a scalable one, and don't let the 17-way thing throw... | |

| Whats on your turntable tonight? I regularly spin older 45s but hardly ever list any, so here's some random titles culled from recent stacks, just as a reality check (and of course your reading pleasure)! These are mostly from the 60's with a few earlier and later exceptions here... | |

| Rolling Stone top 100 Guitarists - Howe/Van Halen I especially dug The Syndicats, though there's no evidence of "musical genius" there (really the point)! | |
