Favorite Obscure Rock Song
Scary Monsters -- David Bowie Great song to show off your system  
Prima Luna Vs Accupahse

Should I graduate to floor standers or will larger bookshelves suffice?
I’m just going to weigh in on this from a enjoy the music point of view. I have a unique tune Amp and Harbeth P3ESRs running from a Node2 in my office. It’s nice. I have a Cary Audi front end into Fritz bookshelves in my formal living room. My ...
