King Of contest...


Hi we all know that
Michael Jackson -- King of Pop
Elvis Presley -- King of R&R
Benny Goodman -- King of Swing

I nominate the following Kings and Queens:

Jascha Heifez -- King of Violin
John Medesky -- King of Hammond
BB King -- ya'll know!
Nat King Cole -- King of voice(or Frank Sinatra still not sure!)
Barbara Denerlain -- Queen of Hammond
Barbra Streisand(or Linda Ronstadt still not sure!) -- Queen of pop
Sara Brightman -- Queen of opera
Enrico Caruso -- King of opera and tenor

Not sure who to nominate as King of Symphony, but both turn my attention more than anyone else performing the same concerts: Arturo Toscanini vs. Georg Solti.

Share your kings, queens and enjoy the forum!

"Still, Americans love to do this. Everything becomes a contest; who is number 1? I think it's a strange viewpoint, but it seems to be ingrained in the American DNA.

Hard to Say. My choices - Squeeze, Roxy Music, Alice in Chains.

Which hifi magazine do you think is the best in the world?

Overall, I would have to say that I like Hi Fi+ best.

I found those speakers to have some of the best midrange sound at the show

The Harbeth monitor 40 that you are referring to are the best speakers that I have ever heard, and like most people who visit this site, I have owned quite a few and heard many others. I can't even imagine how they could sound better, but what you heard was the new version 40.1. I can't wait to hear it, and I am saving for them.

Zd542,
In each case you mention, I think it was clear that it was what I liked personally, not the world's best, whatever that is."

I was just having a bit of fun with it. But if you read the OP again, I think he meant it in the same way that you do.
