Visited a Store and was shunned
I don’t deal in the same level of gear as many people here do, but I have to say, my one and only visit to a dealer was exceptional. Audio video excellence is located North Scottsdale and Bob Koopman is the owner. They were advertising a customer ...

Hello, I just joined in today and have a question. I paid for the lifetime membership. I  think it looks really cool. To develop a playlist, I entered “black flag, a well-known Los Angeles punk band. The playlist generated 36 songs made up by 11 b... 
Best concert you've attended
Queen - 1977 - News of the World Tour  AC/DC - 1978 - Let There Be Rock tour - Jaw Dropping Dead Kennedys -1978  - opened up a new world of music for me.  Black Flag - 1981 - Brutal in an awesome way  Iggy Pop -2001 - just raw and awesome

What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell?
@panzrwagn - Cool!!  Yes, all offer something a bit different but IMO are pretty awesome.   Great to see the ADS 810's getting some love from others in the thread.     Have really just been introduced to Monitor Audio in the last few years, su... 
What speaker is the most musical, one you never want to sell?
