| Best speakers for max. $3000? I ran a pair of Reference 3A Venna with same Bryston amp for three years. They are a great match. Usually available used. | |
| In search for speakers of "natural" sound Reference 3a, incredibly coherent, natural sounding speakers. No crossover, great mid-range. | |
| John Prine Been seeing JP since the mid 70’s. That show in Dallas was like Springsteen on stage! The level of energy with a full band was incredible. He was literally climbing on top of the PA system. John is a National Treasure. I have no problem speaking ... | |

| Music you Hated but now Love Bdp24 thanks. Know Iris well, since I am a John Prine nut. She often duets with him. Her voice is an acquired taste, very talented song writer. | |
| Music you Hated but now Love Greg Brown, didn't like the country twang. Now I can't get enough. He's my new John Prine. To top it off, his recordings on Red House Records are spectacular. |
